Even though I have ten (or is it twelve) of the battleships, I haven't built
one yet, I just got them for the grey elements. By the time we get the bulk
packs we will probably be paying 25-30 cents (Australian) per element, as
opposed to just over 4 cents (Australian) for MB elements.
So for those of us thinking of building castles/walls, a possible MB structure
6 to 7 times bigger is too tempting.
I have built the (khaki) tank and the (khaki) helicopter and both had lots of
extra bits and pieces. MB must go by the baker's dozen theory, throw in some
extras to cover any deficiencies in the packing process.
The tank is a great little kit ($19 AUD at Big W, $24 AUD at TRU) for the
price, mostly basic bricks/plates but still very realistic.
The helicopter is great until you attach the wheels, very chunky, I think I
will do a mod and have it landing on skids instead.
