Title: 5043 Carabinieri Police Motorcycle
Post by: Tiermann on January 01, 2014, 20:55:51
I bought this one via Amazon Italy. You can use your same account there as you have in your home country, just like buying from Amazon Germany. They ship internationally, and the pricing isn't too bad though shipping costs were noticeably higher than getting a set from Amazon Germany. Since this is my top wanted set from the series I just got this one and skipped the car and helicopter for now. Maybe if they end up in a PCC sale at some point I will go for those two also.

Here is the box

It's a great bike set. The same style as is currently in release for the International Police series and the German Polizei set.
You get the bike, the rider, a pair of white gloves, the helmet with clear shield, and a pistol. I was surprised by the hair color being blonde,as I would expect Italians to be more likely brunette. That's a pretty minor quibble though.

Here are some additional views of the figure

Pretty specific to the set I think. I don't see much use for the torso or arms elsewhere, thought he striped pants may come in handy for some customs.
The light on the bike works, with the battery included as is the case with this type of bike normally.

Here is the bike with the other two currently in release. I managed to catch them with two of the three blinking lights on.

I took some other pictures of my Police bike collection I will post elsewhere. There is a thread about the theme around here somewhere I will hunt up.
Overall I think this is a great set. For a serious police collector or bike collector it is worth going to the extra trouble for.

Thanks for the review, Tim.  All three of that new design of bike look very smart.

Thanks for the review...

The klicky is really nice, and I really like the print on the helmet :)
(agree - odd that he has blond hair - but easily fixed!)

nice review of the moto police. I do not think we will get this specific version but it does look nice. The logo on the helmet does look better than the badge type one on the others

nice review. as i said, you beat me to it  :P
what i found weird after opening the box, is the lack of printing on the back side of the torso.  :hmm: ::)
Where does his belt go???? design flaw?

Well, although odd, that should not be a surprise... most printed klickys are only done in the front...
