This kit gave me quite a bit of trouble when I tried to finally assemble it. I needed to have like 5 hands to be able to hold everything together. The way all the gears and stuff inside work makes it so you have to line up everything in one shot when you close up his main body. I had to bust him back open several times to fix things that I thought went together and actually didn't. In the end, he still doesn't walk right. That's ok because all of the walking kits never walk right due to the general incompetence of ERTL's old ways. I think all modelers everywhere know what I mean. Other than that, this kit was pretty standard. Nothing extraordinary. His body is gigantic when you look at it from the side due to all of the inner workings. This kit cost me between $5 and $10 off of eBay.
