VBBN Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Hello, my dear friends! Here's something new. I am actually making a review with pictures! Yes, I got a new camera for christmas. Now I was testing to see how the camera would reflect, so some of the pics are a bit blurry. I have based this review from Dunamis's reviews. He is my inspiration.So, without further ado, I bring you the Review! Set #: 7693 Name: ETX Alien Strike Price: $19.99, Quote
ExoBuilder Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks for the great review VBBN! *y* I already own 2 of these X-D On your camera there should be a little flower sign, switch to that to go to micro mode ;-) It's a really good first review *y* *sweet* Quote
Asuka Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 A nice review, well done! *y* The set itself doesn Quote
phoinix Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 thanx for the review. i have one question. do these aliens have moving arms? as far as the set goes i think lego did a bad job on the alien ship. i dont think any of the alien ships look good in Mars Mission the human fanction got a lot better this year and i would have bought this buggy if it came by its self..

kill will Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 My friend has this set and the alien ship's wings are wobbly and overall :-X He may have built it wrong, I'm not sure, I didn't see the build. Anyways, nice review! *y* Quote
Kliq Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Sweet first pic review! *y* I got this set for a birthday present last year, and it is pretty fun overall. The alien ship in this set is actually one of my favorites. It just looks cool, and the way you can fold it out is really clever. The only negative for me is the cockpit of the mining unit. Not really because it isn't detailed, but because mine is top heavy, and keeps falling forward. It's kinda funny if you think about him driving along and then falling forward...but not funny at all when you're playing. |-/ Quote
AgentRick Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Cool review. makes me want to get the set. *y* Quote

Holodoc Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Thank you for your nice review, vbbn! *y* But it only confirms: This theme is NOT my cup of tea. Weird aliens, strange colors, parts stuck together with no idea. :-| I always hated this big wheels - it Quote
Athos Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Those new alien commanders for Summer look promising though. I've not heard of these. Can you direct me to some pictures? Steve Quote
VBBN Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Holodoc: I agree with you. And the buety of being a custom parts maker is that I can recolor these... :-) *y* Athos: Sure, buddy. They have moving arms, legs, (a real MF!) The arms and legs are the same just flipped. :-) Edited March 14, 2008 by ~VBBN~ Quote

Lord Of Pies Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks for the review! I do like this set, though I am not a fan of the jelly aliens, though The alien ship looks good with the curved parts and flip open and close design! Quote
xenologer Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Well, as bad a concept aliensvshumans is for a theme... I really do like this set. The human rover has nice parts for reuse, especially those oldschool space wheels. And despite those wobbly wings, I really like the alien ship. goes from a flying saucer-ish shape to a spread winged almost raven shape, very ominous and cool looking. Now that 'alien commander' is terrible... if I don't buy bionicle minifigs already, why would I be interested in that thing? Kinda wish they'd take the Drones from the retiring ExoForce theme and do them in green, they'd make nice alien robot things... Quote
zero1312 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 A great review for a great set. *sweet* I too own it and it's still in one piece. ;-) The only negative for me is the cockpit of the mining unit. Not really because it isn't detailed, but because mine is top heavy, and keeps falling forward. It's kinda funny if you think about him driving along and then falling forward...but not funny at all when you're playing. |-/ May I suggest this MOD?: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2848762 Quote
dunamis Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Great review! Thanks for taking the time. I'm glad to see another reviewer out there as there are a lot of sets to cover. Nicely done. Quote

I'm glad to see another reviewer out there as there are a lot of sets to cover.Nicely done. Thanks! And I plan to help the coverage. I will buy the sets frowned upon, hidden in shadows, or even ones that I want, and review them. Most of my reviews will be this way. I already have another one on it's way!
