Stauder Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Hello SheFOLS and AFOLS, as well as TFOLS, welcome to EB News Reviews, I am your host...For tonight anyway... Shadows will take over after this episode, if we make more... Today we are reviewing Mars Impulse sets 5616 and 5617. Starting with 5617 Alien Jet, I must say it is a small and quick build, the jellie, is made of hard plastic, which surprised me, as I had expected Jellies to be a soft plastic. The jet is mainly 2x4 plates, some swingy hinges, the "seatbelt" and a thing which I cannot seem to name My one gripe about it is that the Jelly cant see where he is flying, it looks better with a MF in it. There was a red 1x1 as a spare part. We move on to the 5616 Mini Robot, which is basically a "safe" brick, with binoculars, soem cheese slopes, little arms, and legs. The best part i must say was the metal detector and "safe" brick, as these seem to be quite rare in sets (By my knowlage anyway). The austronaut has a face, shown in Dr. Sinsters review. The set also comes with a pick-axe and lime green gem. Extra peices where a cheese slope, a green 1x1 and a white droid arm. That concludes these mini-reviews. I also will use this opportunity to show my photo setup. Both sets are reccomended, if you either need a army, or are just trying to get a variaty of figs like myself.

Shadows Posted June 4, 2008 I didn't see this one coming... Probably because that huge white beard got in the way! Was this "Shadows impersonates Aluvar" week or something? :laugh: Ok, this wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen. We can try a real one in the future. The not too near, but maybe not too far future. I guess. Where is that a map of, anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stauder Posted June 4, 2008 Yes, The beard and hat are leftovers from what was meant to be a Athos Photoshoot, I was too lazy to remove them so... They are - 2 Maps of Slovakia and One of Europe. Stauder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batbrick Posted June 5, 2008 Hate to admit it but I enjoy Staudie's humour more than I enjoy shadow's Highlights include the inability to reach the cheese and the acious robot, thanks for the review! Batbrick Away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted June 5, 2008 Hate to admit it but I enjoy Staudie's humour more than I enjoy shadow's Each to his own level of intellect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted June 5, 2008 Each to his own level of intellect. Yes, I think I can see you down there! Well I normally wouldn't be amused, but the sheer amount of random squabbling inherent in Staudie's, well, everything just catches me, like a disease Batbrick Away!

iamded Posted June 6, 2008 Ah ha ha! A wonderful review, Stauder, very funny indeed! The cheese bit made me laugh. Stupid aliens. Very good once again. I hope to see more reviews in future! Quick, go buy the other Impulse sets, I could do with another review of them... ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
