### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***N on 4 January 2024*

I bought this for my son for Christmas because I had the original when I was growing up and we both think Lego is great. This one looks like the original but is bigger and has some great features like retractable landing gear, retractable loading ramp, and bigger, thicker wings with smooth leading edges.
