Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 34 reviews

The LEGO box had a big hole in the front, and both ends of the box were crushed. Then shipped to me in a completely un-damaged amazon box. Going to make a great looking gift for my nephew. $150 is a lot for a damaged product.

Recommendation: meh 4.57 / 5 from 7 reviews

Purchased this set for my 5 year old son. We had a lot of fun building it. Great toy to play with for kids and if it breaks down, it is easy to fix :) I had to modify the height for the crane, it was too low and was difficult to play with. While I personally prefer more complex (adult oriented) sets, this is a good set.

True North Bricks

Recommendation: no 76 / 100 by Tom

To make this set better, it should have remained focused on its namesake. Too many undetailed side builds take away from the main set. Additionally, Rocket Assembly and Transport is expensive. The price tag is huge at $199.99, and is not well justified in terms of cost-per-brick or build-time. In the end, you do get a fun set for kids.
