Sahara Blaster (8437)

Sahara Blaster


The new(ish) Technic motor ( 8735 ) was bundled with this model as a special offer. It's quite good value as it means that you get the motor set for about five quid. The model itself is nothing special but this is probably due to the fact that I hate the blue piping and blue LEGO that has been used. It would probably look a lot better if it was replaced with red, green or black. The rear suspension is spring-loaded (which is nice) but it does mean that the whole thing jumps up and down when you add the motor (but that may be a good thing).

Update: I recently built the alternate model which I have taken quite a liking to so I am upgrading the score from a 5 to a 6.

Score: 6/10
Pieces: 413
