Looks like a great set for those who travel. I’ll be getting at least one for
that purpose and another idea I have. My only gripe is they now count the wheel
parts separately: 12 holders 24 wheels and 12 axles for a total of 48 parts
that really only work as 12. If they can show me a way to use the parts in some
other fashion than there intended purpose then I’ll recant my gripe but I don't
see it happening.
Over all I see it as a great set. There seems to be a distinked lack of bley, which is always good, and the there isn’t allot of basic bricks. I’d dare to say that most of the set is usable to make 8-wides and when has black ever been unuseful. Kudos to the set designers and to TLC/TLG "whatever there calling themselves these days" for a well designed set that is in a realistic price range.
