-I couldn't assemble/dis-assemble a orange and black piece on both sides since it was so tight.- everything else is- its a small toy and it is expensive for $13- quality of the plastic is really good as always

Recommendation: meh 4.33 / 5 from 3 reviews

Bought this on a whim, as it looked cute and fun to build. The set is pretty sturdily built, except for the flames coming out the back. Those tend to fall off pretty easily. The set has about 6 or 7 stickers, but they aren't bad. The one minifigure has some nice printings on him. If you're looking for a quick satisfying build, this is a definite recommendation. I'm quite happy with the set.

The Rambling Brick

Recommendation: no 3 / 5 by Richard

These vehicles have a lot in common in their construction: running on Technic wheels with a tyre, using the same chassis element, using a similar front wheel. The rest is garnish. I like the final effect with both vehicles immensely: they zoom nicely and glide across the floor. The older set has an additional minifigure and toolset, which possibly enhances the playability a little.
