I love humor in reviews. Nice job!

I see the uranium cake launchers are as floppy in real life as in the commercials.

Is this trans black or trans brown?

I love your Bianca & Gavin story! Wow, what a sheep.... 8-| And it

[EXO-CHAMP]

Very funny story. Good job.

I must agree with your vote: 8,5 seems right on.

this review made me want it even more! *sing*

[Hinckley]

Thanks for the compliments. I'm glad you guys are enjoying the review. It's encouraging me to do more...

Great review! I like this set (even more after this review), although still not enough to buy it. I must say tough, the figs are nice and 30 Euro/ dollars is a right price. And I love your funny stories. :-)

Let me guess: Too many other sets are clogging up your budget. X-D

Great review, Hinckley. Those cake launchers don't seem like much of anything thanks to it, but I'll have to wait until I get a set with them before I give a final judgement. I'm still disapointed about the treads ( :-( ). but it looks like it's worth the 30 USD I'd have to pay for it. ;-)

I've just acquired this set and I'm kinda dissapointed.

The set is very fragile to handle and the disc-cannon is useless. The connection of the cannon to the tank makes it almost impossible to fire - at least very difficult. Nice work on playability LEGO *n*

Also the tracks and how they're attached to the tank is crappy. Putting a little weight on the tank in order to make the tracks move results in the entire thing setting on it's belly.

My verdict is:

3/10 - it does have some ok bricks and 2 minifigs. And that's about it.

If You want an Exo-Force set... then this is NOT the one to get. So far the Mechs and gates have been cool, but this is left hand work *n* *n* :-X

NB Pics and my sceptic review will follow as will the Striking Venom and Sentai Fortress [when build :-| ]

[natelite]

my sentiments exactly, kimt! this was my second highly anticipated set next to 7713 and boy was i disappointed. the tracks were terrible. the ball joints should have been click joints. *n*
