I Liked It

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 07 November 2009

The main model is a helecopter. And when you turn the wheel on the side the two blades will spin in unison a good feature to have. Their is a seat to put a technic figure in the cockpit (to bad one is not include). The other model to bulid is an airplane. And when you role the wheels on the ground the propler will spin. And, like other technic set their are instructions to hook up an electric motor, in this case it is for the helecopter to spin the blades on it.

It's Handy...

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 07 November 2009

It's handy if you are not sure what the lenght some thing is. It mesures four things in the inside is for lenghts of technic axles. The short side is for the hight of bricks up to a ten count. The middle lenght of the triangle is to count the number studs up to a 20 count. And the long side of the triangle is for rounded technic beames it goes to a 15 count.

Send In The Clones

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 07 November 2009

Like the title says if you have one you basicly have them all. Now I have two of them the black one and the white one. The only differences between them are their "claws" and color of their skin. They do have some cool things to do like curl into a ball and head-butt their enemies.

The Motor Is The Star

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 07 November 2009

I got this set for the pull-back motor. And the giant flames did not hurt the sets likableness. For those that do not know the maine model is a funny car or dragster (as some people would call it). The second model witch I am guessing is some sort of furtue car, and yes it does have the pull-back motor in it. One thing I do not get on the maine model is the flame placement, it should be out the exhaust pipes on the sides of the vechicle not out the back on the model as you can see above.

Lets Go Sleding

That is what it looks like he is going to do. Maybe they should not make these thing so small. If he is going to try to out race a cop it looks like he is probably going to lose. I think his "speeder" needs some meat to it to give it a chance of winning. It does come with the new telescope and helmet.

We need the K-9 Unit

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 06 November 2009

A impulse set with a space cop and a robot dog. Now I do not know about you but I think the dog kind of sucks. The reasons the dog is not too good is because it does not want to stay together at the technic peice that holds the flick fire missle. And, speaking of the missle does any one like those things. I will admight to dog does look nice the only plus for the thing. I real do not have much to say about the cop just a regular mini figure.

Power With Your Fist

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 06 November 2009

What you do is smack the pusher down and it makes the car move. It is basicly a red race car (and I think a cool looking one at that). It does have room to fit a technic figure in the race car but, sadly one does not come with it. And it does have cool stearing wheel if you like the one from Knight Rider a plus in my book. Like most technic set it does have alternative models. The other maine one is (I am guessing here) a selker race car. The other two just showes how to turn the main model into a pull-back motor car and how to add some sort of digital reader (I guessing it is for speed).

Nice smaller castle set

Posted by natro220 in United States on 06 November 2009

I always thought this set was fun to play with. It has a good variety of minifigs (a forestman, crusader, and knight), a horse, and a decent color scheme. While it's obviously not as fun to play or build as a lot of the castles in the genre, it's a good addition to your medival world.

Here Comes The Wizard

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 06 November 2009

This set is just a wizard with his treasure cart. It comes with a wazard and his magic wand, a gray bird, a treasure chest, and two wagon wheels.

It seems this set came in multiple packages. I am not 100% sure witch one I got but I do know I have one of them.

Need A Monkey

Posted by samuraiturtle in United States on 06 November 2009

This set is mostly a parts pack like I said need a monkey for cheap get this set (at the time it was first came out, I am not sure about todays price). And, you want a treasure chest with gold coins, or even a pirate with weapons. But, the reason we got the set at the time was we did not have shovel and we wanted one. So, it is a good set if you want some rare parts.

Best Toa Mata (excluding Nuva)

Posted by Carl in New Zealand on 06 November 2009

I was 5 years old when the original Toa came out, but the canisters said 6+, so I couldn't get any. My brother on the other hand was 7, so he got Taha, Kopaka, Gali, Onua and Pohatu! That left only Lewa, which was perfect for me because back then I was even more fanatical about green than I am now. So when my 6th birthday came around, I was so excited to get Lewa, my first ever Bionicle! I didn't get disappointed.

Lewa is an awesome Toa and is truly worthy if the title. The colour scheme is great, using emerald and lime greens to make the Toa Mata of Air truly awesome.

Pros:
- Kanohi Miru
- Colour Scheme
- 'Hand' is cool
- Swivelling arm function
- Axe is supreme
- Build

Cons:
- Canister picture shows him posed in a way that you can't pose him

But that con about the canister picture doesn't count towards anything because thats about the canister, not the actual set. Overall, I give Lewa a 5/5.

Toa Hahli

The Toa Mahri of Water!

Posted by Stronius8888 in Australia on 06 November 2009

Toa Hahli is my favourite Toa Mahri (2007). She has a typical Inika build, and the Cordak Blaster of 2007. Now I will reveal her (the set's) pros and cons.

PROS:
-Talons are pretty cool.
-Cordak Blaster looks cool and is actually pretty easy to use.
-Wings are a awesome design.
-Kanohi Faxon (the mask) is a very nice design.

CONS
-Lime pieces are very crisp and break easily.
-The breathing tubes slightly impair head movement.

Overall, Toa Hali is a fantastic set and I reccomend it to any Bionicle fan.

Orange Matoran

Posted by Carl in New Zealand on 06 November 2009

Photok is a really good Matoran. The mask looks like Pohatu Phantoka's. And seeing as I like Pohatu Phantoka, its cool.

Pros:
Mask
Weapons
Orange

Cons:
Not like old Matoran

Photok is a really great buy.

LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary

Great Information for a Lego Star War Dictionary

Posted by Moscadini in United States on 05 November 2009

I want to say that they made this book very well made. I like how they separated the characters as well as the "playsets" by sections. Too bad they had the idea for the Yavin 4 Playset and it never made it out to the product line. I did however find 1 mistake (I am sure there are a few others, but this one caught my eye)... On page 81, not only is the V-19 Torrent backwards, it is also upside down. I am sure this is a minor mistake... but just wanted to give heads up on it.

Pros:
1. The price is excellent.
2. Luke Skywalker in Ceremonial Outfit.
3. Shows all the SW Legos that have been made.
4. They mention that the Hailfire is actually "proportioned" to the Mini-Figures unlike the regular set was not.
5. No "Stickers" :-P j/k

Cons:
None really.... thought they would split up the movies by Chapters rather then by sections.

Two Crater Plates

The surface of the moon

Posted by Rollo Tomassi in United States on 05 November 2009

On its own this set is pretty bland, of course. But in conjunction with other sets it greatly expands the play factor by having a surface for your ground vehicles to explore or add to the size of your other baseplate sets. Combine them with a few landing plates for an impressive Starbase.

Two Lunar Landing Plates

The more the more magnificent

Posted by Rollo Tomassi in United States on 05 November 2009

I agree on it's own this set doesn't do much, but combined with other base sets with crater plates it really adds to the play experience.

And if you can get multiple sets, the fun increases exponentially. Imagine having three or six or ten of these laid out for a mega Starbase!!

Mobile Rocket Launcher

The classics are the best

Posted by Rollo Tomassi in United States on 05 November 2009

Finally aquired one of these (30 years later) and I have to say the original Space Sets have a functional elegance about them. Many of the later sets opted for more pizazz in their aesthetic design, but with less functionality.

This set, however is exactly what it says; a Mobile Rocket Launcher. The front vehicle has a cool, spinning radar station with a computer and dish on a side attachment. And the rear has the actual rocket complete with a hinge launch arm and an early prototype 'satellite'. There is a slight design fail in having the gray right angle bracket right in the middle of the rocket, but I figured you can detatch the gray bracket along with the rocket. It's much easier than dismantling the rocket every time. Aside from that one flaw, this is a great early set with lots of play value. Highly recommended.

Not Much in the Bag

Posted by bmwlego in United States on 05 November 2009

This set has a grand total of 12 parts! I bought this set simply for the Rock Monster. It does launch like it shows on the package which is a cool play feature but you get what you see with this set. Not even any extra parts. I now have 5 of these little Rock Monsters so if I want to make a Power Miners scene I have the Rock Monsters to do so.
