I know one can't / shouldn't argue about tastes and preferences but I
have to admit that when I saw a leak about this set on social media a couple
of weeks ago I figured it was someone trolling as the item seemed far to amateurish
/ childish to be a real Lego set.
Imagine my surprise seeing this fugly thing becoming a GWP ... 
Again, just my POV, but this is to me the most disappointing GWP to ever come
out and seems at best a joke. I can't imagine more than 30 seconds of thought
went into this "project".
The color scheme just hurts my eyes and the build looks like something that belongs
in the monthly mini-build series.
All kidding aside: was this a special project where a child could enter to create
the next GWP? If so, kuddos to the child for succeeding in making its build into
an actual Lego set.
If this was genuinely created by a certified Lego builder: how drunk was that
person and moreover, how drunk was his / her boss to approve this for a GWP?
Friday rant over.

Anyone remember the Time Cruisers theme?

To each his/her own! I loved the Time Cruisers/Twisters theme.

I stand by my first thoughts (see image)...
...just realizing that is referencing a Simpson episode that aired over
30 years ago... man, I'm old...

| I love the way it looks, even the multi coloured parts. Great set with some very
nice parts.
