Cons:
- Design Gaps: Sadly, the model's structure leaves visible gaps, particularly beneath the open mouth, which may affect the overall aesthetic appeal.
- Sticker Reliance: The set heavily depends on stickers for detailing, which might not be as durable over time compared to printed pieces. I also found these stickers a bit hard to get on well.
Conclusion:
The LEGO Technic Monster Jam ThunderROARus Pull-Back set is a delightful addition for young builders and Monster Jam fans alike. While it has minor design shortcomings, its interactive features and educational benefits make it a worthwhile purchase for those seeking a fun and constructive activity. As with all the monster trucks in this series, the build was enjoyable and the end result is much the same as with all other monster trucks, they all just have a slightly different look about them.
