Many lego kits are great fun to put together but then don't get played with in that complete state for very long. They are either fragile and cant take the rigours of boy play or they aren't as interesting the next day.
This kit for my 9 yr old has proven an exception. As it has a compartment for a character to sit in, and it "looks awesome" I am told, it has been played with daily since it arrived nearly 2 weeks ago. The lego mini characters are also sitting in the "cock pit" and my daughter is keen to play with it as well.
For the price, as many of the better kits are very expensive, this is a great success and I recommend it to lego fanatics as well as more general enthusiasts.
