Review: 30250: Ewar's Acro fighter

Recommended Posts

I know this isn't a recent set, but it is still available in the US

Number: 30250

Name: Ewar's Acro Fighter

Theme: Chima

Subtheme: Eagles

Year: 2013

Minifigs: One

Pieces: 33 (I count 35)

Price: $3.99

Parts:

Pretty good overall. I wish the colors were a little bit more unified. Ideally the blues would be one shade and the tan 2x6 would be white, but that's just getting picky.

Extra parts. I'm glad to have the yellow plate. My tree fort has decimated my yellow plate supply.

People:

I mainly took this shot to show how silly the eagle head looks with goggles under the headpiece.

The back.

The front to show the great overall printing, and better face. By the way, I like this beak better than the chima raven I have.

The back printing and silly goggles print.

Ewar appears in four sets. Three of them with gold armor. This is the cheapest way to get him. (her?)

Design:

I think this design would look a lot better if the figure was more simple. The figure looks so good it sort of overshadows the mini plane. I also don't know why someone with wings would need a plane anyway.

Anyway, its a good design that makes good use of limited parts to make a plane that looks like a bird. I don't really care for the skis (Perhaps they should have called it a jetski) and I really don't like the way the handlebars are attached with a 1x1 tile with clip. This connection is way too difficult to detatch.

MVP: Most valuable Piece

It's the wings! This was easy because I don't have any of the wings yet. Yeah, if I could have any of these pieces in bulk, it would be the wings.

Conclusion:

Parts: 9/10

Minifigs: 10/10

Build: 8/10

Playability: 8/10

Price: 9/10

Overall: 8.8/10

I like the parts in this set, Ewar is the most generic Eagle and makes it good for an army building :P

Other than that the price is good and you get a pair of nice wedges 2x4.

Ewar is a he, and he only appears in to sets, this, and Razar's Chi Raider. I thing the figure you're talking about is Eris.

Anyway, great review! It really pulls back memories of when I first recieved the set, and I was pulled into the World of Chima.

I said generic as in not unique looking like Eris with the crown, Equila with the black eyes... Not about the availlability in sets :P
