WOW! The main build took me about 8 hours to build it. I have encountered something very big and complex. I do love this set! I cannot express my enjoyment and happyness of having it displayed on my shelf. To fully understand the value of it, you must see infront of you. I'm wordless. While building it, I was full of excitement and joy. The second build is not so impressive but it has nice play value. I strongly recommend it! =)

Absolutely amazing. Quite the conversation starter too. Very high level of engineering as well. From the working winch, to the four tread drive and working tent lift, no detail was spared. Lego has done it again. Box was very well packaged in a giant lego brown box that protected it very well.

This is an unusual set and so, for me, it comes with a mixed bag of views. There is a certain appeal due to its unusual nature. The axles and drive train function really well. I like the winch and the ratchet is ingenious. It is really well built. [...] Building a set with more than 2300 parts that are not sorted into bags and building stages was daunting. Sorting all those parts on a large table took some time and it felt like the build had to be completed in one session.
