QD 66004 Mechanical Dinosaur Precision Model

The bricks have a very good quality and holding power, there were no miscasts or missing parts. There are some spare parts included. The board and the white 1x8 brick are printed, the quality of the print is very good. For me, they sorting of the bags was not right. Towards the end of the second building step I already needed bags from building step 3, so don't get irritated, all bricks are there. On the pictures the bricks look metallic, but they are mostly dark bluish gray plus some flat silver and light silver. But this combination together with the few large (8) moldings the dino looks really good. The instructions are very easy to understand and there are no ambiguities. The instructions already look very high quality because of the unusual front and back print (no photos of the set). Only drawback: As almost always, the base is built last. But it would be practical to build it first. The dino also stands alone, but then some skill is needed and it will collapse after a while. Between the building steps you could park the body on te stand. The construction goes relatively quickly and is easily doable even for children with some Lego experience. It is indicated when the gears must have a certain position to continue building. If you do not follow this, the wings can not move. Unfortunately, the wings are so heavy that you can not fix them seamlessly. There are 2-3 positions possible where the gear holds itself, at all other points the wings sink back down slowly. The fabric for the wings is amazingly thick and the print looks great. The mounting holes are not always 100% matching the bricks, but can be fixed well. An absolutely great set for the surprisingly low price.

Good build from the Dinobots line. Fairly small compared to the others in the line. Wings do not move well as they are designed to flap.
