Our verdict

88 / 100

Is the child already shouting about monster trucks? Then this is a build that ends in a toy they can use right away. Ages 7 and up. Skip it for kids who want a display model or a story set, and for anyone who expects remote control.

Best forA kid aged 7 and up who loves monster trucks and wants something to build first and then crash around.
Avoid ifSkip it if the child prefers characters and story scenes over vehicles.
