Not sure about other countries, but here in Hungary it is listed at ~15 retailers and toy shops at one of the price comparison sites, so it's definitely not exclusive everywhere.

April 17, 20222 yr Don’t you hate it when a big time reviewer builds a kit and completely shags it by putting something obvious on backwards like a panel but doesn’t realize all the way through

I’ll leave that to professionals like yourself. I would have thought he would have realized and edited or redone the build to fix the mistake especially since the instructions are so dumbed down according to the review.

I don't think I'm a professional, maybe I did more reviews than others. But I also do make mistakes and I don't recognize them all before posting, we are human after all. I simply found your condescending tone unnecessary, and tried to point out that the whole exercise might be more complex than you think for the first sight and errors might slip through easily.

I simply found your condescending tone unnecessary, and tried to point out that the whole exercise might be more complex than you think for the first sight and errors might slip through easily. I agree with above. I think is always better to focus on positives and in my opinion videos with reviews and guides made both by Sariel and RacingBrick are on very high level and their contribution into LEGO Technic building is priceless. Regarding errors in reviews videos (made by (almost) professionals): I remember Sariel's review of 10277 Crocodile locomotive, and in his review he didn't realise that pantograph can be fully lowered - as he thought it could be lowered only partially. Somebody kindly remarked that in comment and Sariel admitted his omission and everything was just fine. Its power of a community: we learn from each other and all that process makes us better builders. And even expert builders are not gods nor immune to (simple) errors. Kind regards
May 13, 20231 yr I have finally tracked down one of these :) Plan is to build it as the A model, try to make a C model then it might be used for parts, if I don't like the end result enough. Edited May 13, 20231 yr by TangersTechnic
May 21, 20231 yr Mini Review online: https://tangerstechnicblog.blogspot.com/2023/05/lego-technic-42136-mini-review.html
December 7, 20231 yr Got this set as a gift (a guided one :) ) and it is very playable. I like it even if turning circle is on a large side. The tires looks great, much better than standard off-road tires. The roof is not great, but no big deal to me. Weird thing is that instead of 2 pieces of green Slope Curved 3 x 1 No Studs I got only one and one extra Plate 1 x 4 in Brown. Weird, as this part does not appears in this set, so I guess it's just produced in the same factory and has similar weight.

It's the reason why they paused PaB Billund until January to be able to handle all the quality issues that will come during the Christmas period (probably 50% related to the Orient Expressal alone :P).
