    Surprised!

    Written by (Unspecified , bronze-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I was surprised at this set on many levels. First, I was surprised to find this set at RadioShack. (Is this the ONLY set EVER to be released there? If so, maybe it's a bit of LEGO history).

    EDIT: The LEGO digital blue electronics (like the alarm clock) are sold at RadioShack. However, I've yet to see another SET there.

    I was about to rate "Parts" 4 stars, but decided on 5 only because of the wheels. Besides the four monster truck wheels, you get two smooth, (plastic only) wheels to do donuts.

    The car was under constant use, and died quickly. Luckliy, I got it on clearance, and had fun with it while it lasted.

    Bottom line: Worth it for the wheels---just know that if you want a more rugged, long-lasting RC car, get one that isn't LEGO. While they make great bricks, they don't make great motors.
