It a bit of a shame that lego used 3 gears for the steering assembly which would have been a lot more 'attractive' to buy if they used small chain links (which i need lol).

Personally, I'd prefer the third "pulleys + rubber band" system, that should be more compact than a chain... Anyway I'm glad to see any of them and like how simple and compact it is.

The box of this set is supposed to open at the top instead of the sides as usual.

 

The sail sheet is the sticker sheet made with plastic. There is the rim outside the sail. I just need to rip it out at the several points on the precut lines instead of having to tear it carefully and slowly.

Is this worth getting just as a parts pack?

I bought mine mostly for parts, I need panels, this set has some good ones in yellow and dark azure as well as lift arms. Add in a half dozen gears and a few common useful elements, I think it is a good parts pack. 

Admittedly though, I built mine several months ago, and have yet to disassemble it. I guess I just like pushing it around, the way it wobbles, the kid in me. Plus I think it looks pretty good too.

Look for the Ice Tank poly bag, there's like 30 links in each bag. 

Sorry for posting off topic in an ancient thread, just thought someone would find this info helpful.

Yes, that is why I bought it. It has many panels for its size!

Definitely a good polybag!
