putting these legos together is how I relax after work. I also enjoy working with legos with my grandchildren. It also keeps my hands active & therefore less painful from arthritis.

The main draw for anyone to want to own this set is because of Shu Todoroki; he's awesome but he's not $90 dollars awesome. It's also a good start for a racing diorama; just add a few more racers and you're set.
