GULY 80501 Transformers Beast Wars Optimus Primal

The instructions are mostly easy to understand. There seem to be a few minor errors (e.g. step 477 pins in the wrong opening), but these are immediately clarified in the large picture or in the next building step. Either you notice the mistakes immediately or they can be easily fixed, as the bricks have a good holding force, but not too much. No parts were missing and there were no miscasts. The technic bricks are of good to very good quality. The metallic bricks are visually the best I have ever seen!!! No matter which manufacturer. The coating makes them creak a little when building, but they still fit well. The color is a little darker than it looks in the photos on the manual. Picture 7 of 8 on the item page shows them pretty accurately. I didn't use the stickers, the set looks impressive as it is. There are 3 glow stones that I have not tested. The only weak point of the set is the stand. It is designed to hold the model upright. But in my opinion it is too wobbly and the set is too heavy. But if you place the gorilla as shown in the instructions, you don't need the base either. Maybe I'll try to modify it so that you can see the sign and the set has a bit more support (which wouldn't be necessary). Unfortunately the label is almost completely in Chinese (logically) but I would have liked a second label in English. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
