Actually I didn't really think this one was really that good. The look is
fantastic and it comes with many useful parts and innovative design ideas,
but there simply aren't enough functions to make it worth $170. At this kind
of price I would have expected a motor or something included. To be fair
though, it is a lot of fun to build (IMHO).

| Yes it is expensive, but i don't for one second regret spending the money. It is a Beautiful Model, and i enjoyed the build as well, i wonder how long it takes the designers to come up with these grand sets.... Gaurav Thakur <cp5670@supermail.com> (...)
