|Nice change from typical construction set.,
E. Weber (NH United States) –
The truck came package in a yellow sturdy suitcase. All the little bits where in resealable plastic bags. Instructions is oversized for the case and came all torn.
The kit is advertised as 7+ but it did require adult supervision in several steps that where not obvious.
Quality of the parts is not great and I suspect it wouldn’t survive more than 2-3 builds.
Some of the decorative parts that are not “screwed” tend to fall during play.
Extensibility of the kit is limited to this one truck. Kids have a lot of imagination but I don’t think they could go very far with the type of parts that are provided other than some of the parts used to build the frame.
Despite all the negative mention it was still refreshing to do a different type of play and we had a good time.

|If your 7 year old is an experienced set builder this will be an advanced challenge. Maybe better for pre-teens.,
The build quality of the pieces is quite good. Everything is well made and the box that holds it all is perfect. I don’t agree that it’s meant for 7 years and up – maybe if that 7 year old is advanced in spatial orientation or has been modelling for a while. The directions are pretty clear and provide full color instructions for the build in step by step detail. However, if there is a bit of attention deficit in the mix, this may not be the ideal way to build a kids’ confidence or sense of accomplishment. I would say that this is a very challenging build set for the advertised age range.
