It's OK, Lots of interesting pieces, (I want a whole pile of turquoise bits
no so that I can make a technic Morris Minor) and technically it's pretty
good, but... It's Ugly. What's with those wheels? About the only useful
thing I can think to do with them is create a Mars rover using
mindstorms.... hey... maybe it's not so bad after all.
I guess part of the disappointment is that I bought the space shuttle just
afterwards. Now there's a cool set.
Cheers
