Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 5 reviews

This is a great piece from Lego Technic; I spend around 20 hours to build it, and everything works fine (all the power functions work as described in the box). I was very tired at the end but enjoyed all the assembly process; I just wish Lego would release products based on military stuff, like the M1 Abrams, that would be a remarkable Technic. The only problem that I have, and it's actually really minor, is that Lego has this huge and almost empty box to store all the pieces and therefore the box is really fragile. My box got damaged during shipping and the blame is in one part for Lego (fragile box) and the other for the Reseller Shop4Toyz, for not adding enough padding in the box to protect the toy. Aside from what I just said, the bottom line is that this is a great product from Lego and will buy another once there's a Technic that catches my interest.

This set is very nice. It is rather large and a lot of fun to build., There are a few points of annoyance though. The biggest is that the cord for the medium motor is rather short, and you will have trouble actually getting it to the switch in the back.
