“My 8-year old son received this as a gift a few weeks ago and I am in agreement with him in that it totally stinks. The pieces were not designed properly and is very difficult to put the pieces together AND remain in place. Seconds into playing/using it the final build, it falls apart. He has been using Legos since 3 years old and has been doing the 16+ age Legos since he was 6...he is truly a Lego master and builds the Technic models and anything we can afford at the 16+ age level. As others stated in here, the manual is a mess, colorless, and just an eye sore. My guess is they didn't want to copy Lego too much for instructions. This set can be summed up in 1 word: frustrating.Save your money and buy a more expensive Lego that involve pulleys, wheels, etc.”
