But then again, when you're a walking Deus Ex Machina (Or perhaps Machina Ex Deus in this case, but I digress) these things don't trouble you as much. :D
Unless Lego inserts the patented Power Reducing factor that makes what should be someone able to dominate easily no longer so strong.
Might add that Tarix is lame in that he is not special in any particular way-the other sets have great color schemes, or unique builds, or just cool aesthetics, but Tarix is something anybody could envision without much imagination.
His -weapons- on the other hand, I feel are things of beauty. The Gold on them has graceful curves and feels regal, while the actual blade/water bit has a glistening, gossamer texture to it that I find very attractive. The inside curve of the blade is also transparent, and fades into the deeper blue of the blade. Maybe not as gradually as I would have liked, but the affect is still really nice.
