My 11yo son loved it. Its engaging
My 11yo son loved it. Its quite engaging. Should be morebyime consuming. It took about 4hrs to build and then after it is built, its just gracing the showcase.

Missing piece and malfunctioning
I bought this set 42179 and it was horrible as the lego was like ages 18+ instead of 10+ years. There are 4 packs and one piece from the fourth pack was missing and when I was done building, this set was not functioning properly.
