The final product looks amazing. However, so many problems with the structure and instructions.

1. With this many pieces, the bags could have been organized better. It took me 90 minutes to separate the pieces by color.

2. There were at least 5 missing pieces. I was able to get all but one from my son's Lego collection. I guess I'll have to call Lego for the final piece.

3. I am ready to throw the roof assembly into traffic! It constantly crumbleeddas I tied to put it together. Once I got it together, sans the missing piece which was not structural, getting it onto the vehicle caused it to crumble again. This then caused half of the vehicle sides to collapse.

4. The colors are very similar and it's quite difficult to figure out what many of the pieces are by the instructions.

5. The instructions are some of the worst I've seen by Lego. The placement isn't always easily determined by pics. Even the arrows require a little studying.

6. Many of the pieces did not fit together well. It took SMS force, which would make assemblies fall apart. The roof wasn't the only part, the bumper and some other sections did this, too.

That being said, I do love the details and look of it. I just wish the quality was better for a $120 set.
