Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 63 reviews

This thing sucks. $35 is a ripoff and as you can see from some of the Q&As, only certain batteries work. The positive terminal on some (most) batteries is too wide to make contact with the terminal connector on the battery pack. I only realized this though after I tried to fix mine and snapped off one of the terminals. So now I have to spend another $35 to replace a part that is basically a low budget radio receiver and battery box. Thanks Lego! Great design!

Even though I am extremely satisfied, although my LEGO Train fell off, and sometimes, the battery box came off, and shut off. After it falling off about 12 times (no exaggeration), it wouldn't work, even when it had fresh batteries just put in it.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
