My Silver Champion seems to be very strong actually; the only problem I
could find is that the decorative tubing in one or two places seems to come
off easily. It could be that since the display model there was unsecure, it
might have been slightly weakened by previous visitors. Still, it is not
really a set I would recommend. The functionality is very low and most of
the pieces are just support or decorative pieces, so it isn't really worth
the $170 USD price tag IMHO.
