Puzzle for boys, great time killer with side effects of therapy

Bought it for my 13 year old son, he didn't care so I (dad) decided to assemble it myself. My wife loves puzzles and has spent a lot of time collecting them. I think this is an analogue for guys. Great time killer (we don't have much free time so it took a while) and has a calming, almost therapeutic effect that will put you extra at ease. when things aren't going well. It's pretty well made, parts are easy to detach even with bare hands, but sometimes I used a small knife for small parts. The parts mostly fit together well, on rare occasions I had to work with small tools (like a small screwdriver) on tricky spots. If you want the item to stay together for a while (e.g. months/years) you can spot apply some glue but it will stay together for months without it (as long as you don't fall/step on it). That). There were a few spots where things didn't fit very well, so I had to cheat and skip/cut parts to fit (especially in the back, around the rear wheels). Even if I misunderstood some of the instructions. The guide itself is pretty good, large sized pictures with instructions, some QR codes for videos with tricky steps. In general, a very good gift, probably for older children or adults. I'll probably get another one at some point.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
