Eurobricks

Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by Locutis

While I normally don't buy sets that aren't minifig scale, or that don't fit into my Lego City, I have made a few notable exceptions. This set is one of those exceptions. The impressive model design, colours, instant recognizability among children and adults alike, and it's relatively low cost for its size, make it an exceptional value.

A definite must-buy. Highly recommended despite the flaws. Even at full price, Mater is an excellent model and sets the gold standard for what the other Ultimate Build sets should have been designed against.
