Despite what ChaosFling thinks. Here is a new Item.
Or better yet. An item that we have not previously sold
individually. I’m not going to lie to you as it was on a mystery box before, a successful
mystery box by the way. We found these few pieces lying around and you know
what we do here with “few pieces laying around” right?
What am I getting!?
You get One Fully assembled Motor Works 4 Cylinder engine
kit display and nothing else.
Works on a 2xAA batteries (not included).
Need more details? So do us. What can you tell me about this
unit?

The TF models are already assembled because they were display models-per the model number.

-Wes I wonder if I can easily take it apart and rebuild it.... Isn't that the whole point of a model kit

Well, what in the heck would you do with one of these fully assembled? I know my six year old son would like one if we could build it together, but not fully assembled. Can you take it apart and re-assemble it? If so, does it come with intructions for assembly?

Well, the Amazon link I posted had horrendous reviews (very difficult to impossible to assemble) and the site dropkin posted had very favorable reviews.
I'm not quite sure which one to go by, but the Amazon reviews did say the screws were too big for the holes so it may be close to impossible to reassemble once disassembled.

This might be a good edcuational tool. My kids are always asking me how engines work each time I get under a car. If this thing has any kind of detail I can demonstrate how an engine makes power... I suppose if your not a car junkie you would see no use in it, since it is already assembled, though from the looks of the reviews I am glad it is!

DANG IT! I wanted this SOOOOOOOOOO Much! While I was making my Paypal payment, it switched to the pens. Crap! Christmas is coming. I like the toy and educational flings. The 5 hours was under 5 minutes.
