I got this while on vacation in France ('91 or '92).

On it's own it is not a big deal but it's great in combination with the others, although I only had 2 extra. The group is made of sets 1642 through 1649 (Basic, year 1989).

Except for propellers/wheels, the bricks aren't that specialized, but their just enough to fuel your imagination!

I highly recommend this for small kids!
