Well, I figure anything with *two* remote controls must be good, so I ordered one from Ozbricks (www.ozbircks.com), and when it arrived, I must say I was a bit disappointed.

(...) it would (...) Actually I did buy my 6091 at half price! I had resisted it at full-price because I didn't think it was worth the money. Besides which, at half-price, it was less than AUD100, which is a psychological barrier for me. (...) I (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Hey, I only buy if I think it's worth it now. That set taught me a lego lesson about quality. At $90 USD, the set did not contain the needed quality. But I probably would not have returned it except for the missing pieces, which gave me an (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.loc.au)
