I really like the play value of this set. The main reason I wanted it was for the gold and the Bank truck, and that is my favorite thing about this set. The truck is smartly constructed and I like how the 6-wheeler can pull the gold out. The seaplane is sturdy and has a smooth body. The price is alright, but should probably be lowered to five dollars.

Assembly of this set will produce a police seaplane with spinning propeller and net launcher, an amphibious vehicle with a chain, and an armored truck. There's a collapsible tree with a beehive, and this is all part of the heist. Use the chainsaw to cut down the tree, which will fall on the armored truck. Now the crooks can rob the truck of its gold bars and load up their vehicle.

Recommendation: meh 3.8 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

Overall, I think this is not a bad set. It has some nice builds that allow you to act out a fun play story, and the price is quite good too. The minifigure selection is a little small but it serves the purpose decently enough.
