LEGO Recruitment Bags 30682

The set looks overall really cool in the end but I had to order two different new pieces to complete the set which was very disappointing.

Honestly not the best build experience, the instructions were immensely complicated and confusing, and the connections for things like the steering and the front arm were very flimsy and easy to break. Once assembled it doesn’t drive very well, with the middle wheels staying suspended in the air instead of rolling along the ground. The steering lever in the middle is very loose, and it was extremely difficult to get the wheels on without messing up the steering angles. All in all a frustrating experience to build and not all that fun to play with after

It was a fun build. It's really cool to see how the designers come up with some of this stuff.. But something just seems not quite right. Getting the wheels lined up how they are supposed to be doesnt make sense.. Sometimes I think words would just be better. And the manipulator arm I dont know if it's supposed to rotate 90 degrees and stick straight out? Turning the shaft on the back it only wants to come out maybe 70 degree or so? Then the gears start slipping. From what I can tell the mechanism is extending as far as it can. And the steering, I think it's working but doesnt seem to work smoothly.

Great gift, very educational and fun to build. Easy to read instructions and a high play factor once built. My son really enjoyed building and learning with me as we built it together.

Our 12 year old grandson enjoyed constructing this. A bit of a challenge and great satisfaction when completed.
