Description: Released in 1993 as part of the Model Team series, containing 785 parts, the set retailed then for around 60 bucks. Today it commands a price of 180-250 bucks MISB. One of the more alluring model team sets, in color scheme and functionallity.

My take: I had this set, it was fun. The van has a steering function, opening doors and a hitch/trailer for the boat. The van is actually very similar to the custom rally van set from the same series. Model team was a line that was far ahead of its time, blending technic functionallity under system style. Next friday I will spotlight another classic.
