Flimsy leg design.
All the pieces (627) were in the box including a few spares. Hubby said it was a bit fiddly to put together. All 4 legs which it stands on arn't really sturdy enough. They are just push-in plastic parts. The stickers were easy to apply. In general, he thought this kit was good value for money.

Not what i expected.
After building a few lego technic and 3d models, i bought this because i never got round to doing one when they came out years ago and i have to say, i`ve been left a little disappointed. The biggest issue i had, was no end of pieces that just wouldn`t line up properly, but the biggest surprise for me, was that given this is a Meccano set, i was surprised by how many pieces were plastic, not metal, which actually resulted in me breaking one piece and having to buy a cheap set already built off another site, just for spares. So sadly, i won`t be buying anymore Meccano, because i haven`t enjoyed building this one bit!

Best avoided.
Garbage. It's little wonder the kids of today don't know the brand when this is the standard it ships. Multiple pieces that don't align or that fit poorly. I stopped the build halfway through. I'm not going to waste my time trying to force pieces to fit and trying to adapt to the shoddy construction process.It's sad to see how this company has fallen behind everyone else.

Grandson birthday present
Bought for Grandson's birthday. He started to build it at our house and I finished building it for him. He loves it and it has pride of place on his shelf.

My favorite thunderbird
It’s just excellent because it’s a lot bigger than the usual models and it’s metal and made by Meccano so I had lots of fun building it up and now the grandkids are going to have tons of fun with it

Es lo que esperaba
Era para un regalo, con lo cual no puedo valorar si estaban todas las piezas, pero aparentemente estaba todo correcto, aunque la caja llegó abierta y algo dañada. Es lo de menos, pero al ser para un regalo me decepcionó algo la presentación.
