Thanks for the review. I had the original one when it first came out. By any chance, you also had put that one together? I am tempted to get this one but the piece price ratio is kind of high... However, it brings back memories just looking at this set...

Unfortunately I don't have the old 7663 version. From what I understand, the new 7961 Infiltrator is larger than the previous one. I think it is better to get this set on sale or if you have discount coupon.
