Recommendation: yes 10 / 10 by def

I like it. I'm going to keep it built a long while. In my years of collecting, this is one of the more idiosyncratic sets I've ever seen. Highly recommended.

Gave to my grandson who turned 6. Had to have help putting it together...but he loved playing with it. Was smaller in size than we thought it would be...but still loved it!

In the end, I'd say that the pros of Angler Attack far outweigh its cons - first off, there are more of them, and secondly, the good things are cooler than the bad things are uncool. Not to mention, a majority of the cons listed above are only about the set itself, not its pieces, so if you just don't build the thing, it'll definitely be worth your precious money.
