When I first saw this set, I admit I wasn't impressed. To me it looked like an unexciting van. But when I saw more photos of the details and the interior (especially the interior!) I got really interested.
Then I saw it in person at a local store. Wow, the box art and photos are awesome! Definitely one of the nicer ones I've seen. The box itself is quite big although a little thin. I was still hesitant to get this as it is not minifig-scale, but in the end the details and the interior (especially the interior!) won me over.
Photos of the build
Chassis, floorboard and the realistic-looking engine.

At this point, I decided to mirror-build my set to a right-hand drive vehicle, suitable for my local roads. ;)
At this early build stage you can start to see the details of the interior.
