emily Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'm dying over here because the primary image on Brickset reveals this set includes 4x manly construction tools because they are all produced from the same mold and they used the screwdrivers or whatever for the clock hands. And like, they felt the need to advertise this. Not just accept it and move on. "use the FOUR (4) POWER DRILLS and OIL CANS to SOUP UP Big Ben's V8 ENGINE" All in all, not as good as the last iteration, but you take what you can get.
