[REVIEW] 42047 Police Interceptor + Model B

[wesyr]

Hi guys

This is my first review of Technic set in english.

This is second Pull Back set this year. It is not as nice as 42046, but still I like it.

42047 is also neat, nicely built, color polished, but lacks character. Clearly, the TLG decided to give models to play cops and thieves.

Series: Technic

Year: 2016

No: 42047

Pcs: 185

PPP: 0,11$

Model Weight: 0,212 kg

Set weight: 0,318 kg

Model B: yes, but you need second set

Price: £17,99 / $19,99 / 19,99€

Inventory:

- Bricklink

- Brickset

Box

Box looks very ordinary. Decorated in dark colors which are characteristic of the series Technic. What first strikes the eye are lemon elements of the car - bumper, wheels and some stickers (alternating with blue). Box measurments are 26 cm x 14 cm x 6 cm. The back of the box shows the alternative model, which is formed from a combination of components of the kits 42046 and 42047, which are both of this year's car Pull Back.

Inside the box we can find:

manual

2 bags with bricks

2 white liftarms

Pull Back motor

stickers sheet

Manual has 52 pages with 49 build steps. There are also parts list and some advertisements.

There are no new parts. Two of them are in ne colours:

Lime Wheel 30.4mm D. x 20mm with No Pin Holes and Reinforced Rim - 4 pcs

Lime Technic, Liftarm 3 x 3 L-Shape Thin - 2 pcs (i know - it was used in 2 sets in 2000 and in 2001)

Build

Forty-nine steps in the construction manual is nothing especially demanding, but giving a little fun. Building process would not call boring. Purpose model for children from 7 to 14 years is fine, though I would set the upper limit of a maximum of 12 years.

Spare parts

Finished model

Podsumowanie

42047-1 Police Interceptor is a very neat vehicle a little shorter than 42046, but higher. The colors are pretty, but the excess white color gives the impression of boring. Stickers a little break the whites. Car is very nicely finished, there are no sharp edges. I like also the lemon wheels. It looks attractive. Pull Back mechanism is very strong - on slippery surfaces (panels, tiles, countertop) wheel spin immediately. On a more rough surface of the car takes off as it should. However, it is a little unstable - only when jumping - model usually lands on the side or "back". Despite these minor shortcomings I consider this set successful.

Pros:

+ Lots of useful parts - mainly liftarms

+ Nice color

+ Lets you play the races (you must have at least two models of Pull Back)

Cons

- Alternative model requires the purchase of the second set

- Alternative model is ugly (but it's a matter of taste)

- Wheels spin

- A little too much white elements

Bonus

Model B

The B model is reminiscent of the Tyrrell P34, except for the axle layout: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrrell_P34
