Recommendation: meh 4.6 / 5 from 12 reviews

This thing is HUGE! Expect to have to make a large space available for it once constructed. Bought as a birthday gift for my 14 year old. Took him almost 2 hours to assemble so definitely and advanced level build. Step by step diagram instructions

Recommendation: no 44.5 / 60 by ---Vertea---

If the driver weren't present, the score would be much higher, so one might just ignore that aspect and see that for sixty bucks plus tax, this set is worth it. I personally recommend it to anyone who has the money.

I found this set to be a rare treat, a gem the likes of which I have not seen in years. Whether you run out and buy it now or hold off until you can snatch it up on sale, Thornatus is an amazing buy whether you're into MOCing, collecting, or just having fun playing with the model itself.

Overall, this set is a pretty nice deal, it might be a little expensive but it's worth it if you really want it, and if you don't like it that much, the vehicle has a great range of useful tan parts and silver weapons.
