And the set has rotating wheels! Gosh, LEGO has only featured those since
1962. ;)
Actually, I don't think this set includes any new pieces--the minifig, the
antenna, the spoiler, the wheels, the windshield, the exhaust pipes-- these
pieces have all been around for years.
One wonders what percentage of the population holds the same view of LEGO
as the reviewer.
