Advantages: Looks so cool! Fun to assemble Disadvantages: Don't misplace any pieces!
putting all the parts on either a tray or in boxes.
There are 2 instruction booklets to follow to make the combine harvester, which is a total of 113 pages.
The really cool thing about legotechnic is that you usually get 2 sets of instructions to make two different models so that you can choose which one you want to make. Not only can you make a combine harvester but also included in the box is instructions to make a Dragster (I'm not entirely sure what this is, but it looks a lot like some kind of racing car!) you can't make both of them at the same time though, there are only enough parts to build either one or the other.

Advantages: superb collection of bricks Disadvantages: I am a bit old to play with them on my own
I am playing with the children?s toys again, this time the Duplo brick set 5572 .
