Best Lego Set Ever

I got this set when I was about 9 years old and it took me a few nights to complete.
Throughout my life I continue to buy and collect many, many Lego sets including the Millennium Falcon (10179), the Big Technic Tow Truck (8285), the Discovery Space Shuttle (7470), Nitro Muscle (8146), Super car (8880) and the Black Cat Giant truck still reigns as the best set in my opinion, but maybe that's just due to the fact that this set has been with me for so long since I was a kid.
My truck is missing a few pieces and all the silver pieces have faded and become dusty but still I look at the truck with admiration as one of the best designed Lego sets ever. No detail is overlooked, from the interiors (coffee maker, bed, TV, movable seats and steering wheel, and tool cabinets) to the openable hood and the steering knob on the roof.
Many people are disappointed with the V8 engine which doesn't have moving pistons but I think it's great as it is as it is just a Model Team set not a Technic set which focuses on those things.
Overall, an absolutely, fantastically beautiful set with completely no cons at all.
I saw one available on eBay a few months ago so if you ever get an opportunity to bid on this set be prepared for a fight. It is a once in a lifetime set.
Super rare and extremely detailed.
It is a shame that Lego does not produce Lego sets of this quality anymore nowadays.
Best Set Ever.
