Both the A (snow groomer) and B (arctic tracker -- see my photos above) models are clever and elegant designs, and for the price (fifty at MSRP) you get a good mix of useful and unique parts (the latter including large H frames, black treads, and black and red body panels). Where the designs do not score so high is in playability, at least with my kids. The main problem is that the treads are sluggish: on wood floors the hard plastic tracks slide, and on carpet they have only moderate grip. I haven't marked the set down because of this, but I just wanted to mention it for those parents considering one model over another. Both designs are still great fun. Regardless, I don't believe Lego has ever produced a snow groomer before, so this is a rare set.Get more detail about LEGO Technic Snow Groomer (8263).
