[Sariel]

Two LEGO Technic sets are down to $9.99 price range this year. Here's the bigger and flashier one of them:

Nice review! Other than the looks, I also think it deserved a 5/5 for the pieces rating since there's so many rare colors.

@JintaiZ Sounds like you really need to start making your own reviews.

Thanks for the review! The turquoise of the new Mindstorms is elusive to the cameras, so to make sure: is this "dark turquoise" the same color or different?

Shouldn't there be two of the white 1L 'beams' covering the 4L axles?

Yeah I noticed a few build issues here- rear tail/elevators are backwards, wheel area is build wrong, and those white 1L beams are missing, those would definitely help the look of the set a bit 

But great review as well, I agree with you on many of the points here. I like the design, but I’d rather see it scaled up to work out many of the kinks and enrich the functionality.

Sorry about that. It was the last set I was reviewing and I had very little time left, and clearly wasn't paying enough attention.
