This is a good product, and the quality is almost always very good. The bricks usually connect very firmly, perhaps a bit too firmly at times. However, a small percentage of the bricks are too loose. The instructions are mostly easy to understand, though some steps could be better. Some of the white bricks have a slight yellow tint, but most do not. Also, one black 2x4 tile has minor scratches. The other tiles are unscratched, and the transparent pieces are clear. The windshield was packaged separately. One part was the wrong color, but it's not an issue as it's hidden inside the car. The handbrake/shifting lever is loose and doesn't stay in place. The base had some dirt, which washed off easily, and some white parts had dirt on the inside, which was also easily cleaned with water. The building techniques are excellent and engaging. Shipping was over a week faster than expected (within the EU). Overall, it's a very good product, and for the $13 cost, the reviewer couldn't have expected more. They would purchase it again.
