The detailed instructions guide you through the assembly, ensuring that even complex mechanisms are approachable.

Criticism:

While the set is designed for older teens and adults, some may find the complexity a bit daunting, especially if they are new to building block sets. Additionally, the reliance on electronic components may require extra care during assembly to avoid potential issues.

Set Review:

This set is a real gem for anyone who loves a challenge. The combination of over 1000 pieces and the intricate mechanics makes it a rewarding build. The rotary feeder and oscillating gate work beautifully together, creating a mesmerizing flow of balls that is truly satisfying to watch. The planetary gears add a layer of complexity that keeps builders engaged, and the PRO Series Electronics bring a modern twist to the classic building experience. It’s impressive how MouldKing has managed to create such a detailed set that not only looks good but functions well too. However, it does require patience and a bit of finesse, which might not suit everyone. Still, for those who enjoy a hands-on challenge, this set is a must-have!
