(More customer reviews)I thought that turning 12, my son would be just about finished with Lego sets. Not so! He was so excited about this set that he couldn't wait to get home from school and get started on it. It's a challenging build -- the truck especially -- so it's taking him longer than usual to complete it, which is fine by me. With 961 parts and three instruction booklets, he has miles to go before he sleeps.
Beats me why there isn't an equal number of red and green team members and why there's a truck only for the green team -- are you supposed to buy all the sets to equalize the teams? -- but it doesn't seem to bother him any. He's pretty proud of his progress and likes the whole racing theme. The vehicles seem more stable than many he's built, especially the ones in the Star Wars line that seem more suited for admiring than playing with.
I used to think it would be better for my child to build something from his own imagination, instead of from these sets. But my dad the engineer says he's learning the valuable skill of following a complex set of directions. So, I stood down on this issue. My son's room is a testament to that... floor to ceiling with completed projects!
