8925 Pictoral Review: Barraki Deep Sea Patrol

[Brickmaster]

I feel the whole bionicle playset line is highly underestimated. The second installment of my highly unpopular review line, the smallest of the playsets, 8925. At 15 dollars USD (half price) this was a steal. I'm doing these reviews to see if some may be interested in getting these very cheaply, while you can!

Heres the whole pack. No numbered bags this time.

Here are the figs (4) and some potentially rare or useful parts. The trans blue dome bubble is very cool, especially with two of em. The long tentacle is rubber aswell.

Though small, these are probably the favourite parts of the set. A very cool transportation trans blue bubble, and a very nice jellyfish. Coolsauce.

Next you build a squid launcher turret. Very floppy, but adds playability, and it works.

Next we build the main attraction; or at this point atleast, the base of it.

Cockpit taking shape. Note some nice slopes on the back.

Cockpits now on. The front is large enough for 2 barraki. The form is very sleek. Oh. And a random 1x4 dark bley brick I couldn't find where to put!

Heres the whole thing together. Really nice playability and overall set I think here.

Surprisingly in the back of the instructions, there are inspiration models!

I think the windows should've been trans red. Looks much cooler ;-)

Overall? 8/10. Great parts, great playability, great price. Some rare elements and a cool build makes it worth while. The only real drawback is the use of bionicle peices. It really doesn't bother me, however, I know it does bother some hugely. However, I feel the ones used in this set, are highly useful.

Not to mention you get more weapons then there are arms to equip them to. No lack of accessories, along with the squids, jellyfish, weapons, spheres..

Hope my review was of some use, so that my time was not wasted! :-D

It looks neat. I'd consider buying one for half price! Those weapons would make for great post-Apoc things, and I spy a neat sword for, say, a Skellie knight. Could we get a picture of all the weapons spread out, so we can see each one? I really like the weapons! X-D

Thanks for the review!

Interesting you should mention

since on the USA side of the lego site, they're on sale for half price.

Also got mine at Walmart for half off. (tho this is probably a coincidence...)
