Anything about the exclusives?

I quite agree.

Your options: A: Wait until it comes out on S@H which will likely be soon. B: Get it on Ebay. C: Buy it in August. I'm going with A, myself.

Perhaps TRU will be getting the larger models along with the exclusives at the same time? In any case, the big ones will be released on LEGO.com with the rest. It's cheaper there anyway.

This set is a pretty good example of Exo-Force's strengths and weaknesses. At first glance, it is very cool, with an intimidating figure and a lot of firepower. It only takes a little up-close examination, however, to see how skeletal and empty the design really is. Exo-Force was a disappointment because of this, although the theme did have some useful pieces. I feel for this set the same I feel about Exo-Force in general... cool at first glance, but not worth the money in the end. Good review, however!

Meh. This set is a lot like the Crystal King in that it's only useful as a parts pack. Good review though.

Kind of odd that they don't have the exclusives, as they are probably TRU exclusives...

TRU doesn't seem to have the bigger SP3 sets.

I too am curious.

If I were you, I'd dump Indiana Jones and get the new Space Police instead. Licensed themes are always more expensive than LEGO originals, and personally I think SP3 is better anyway. But yeah, if you feel like you're spending too much on LEGO, just buy in moderation. You don't have to get every set from a theme.

The reviews have begun! This isn't my favorite SP3 set but I do like it. And personally, I like the Police figs. They're not incredibly detailed, but as a result they're very versatile. I could see many uses for them in minifigs. I think this set would be fun to play with even if it isn't a masterpiece.

Oh snap, nice!!

Yeah I agree, they're annoying. Otherwise though, looking good. Can't wait for the reviews.

You got the Container Heist, Gold Heist, and Squidman escape. ... suddenly I feel unforgivably nerdy...

What! I'm jealous! Be sure to share pics. :D

Thanks, but we've seen that one before. I meant a clear look. XD

That sounds likely to me too. It's not just Space Police that's kept the curtain closed on the exclusives. Power Miners still has an exclusive set that hasn't been seen. Sounds quite promising, too; I'm curious to see what it is. At this point, though, it looks like we might not get pics until the official release. Curses!

Yeah, no need to panic you guys. I'm personally annoyed that we haven't seen the Max Security Transport yet. It sounds really promising, but it's only a month before release and still nothing! I have no idea what I should be saving for. Heck, we haven't even gotten a good look at Squidman Pitshop.

I really don't think you have much to worry about. EDIT: I can confirm that the minifigs are printed.

Leave some for us to review, too!

I bought this set at full price awhile back and now I wish I had just waited. They're hardly going for anything nowadays. Good review.

I wouldn't count on prints, but they would sure be nice.

Yeah, but you can nab them off Ebay for much cheaper than that. If you want a full set though, it's the Infiltrator. It's pretty good. Half decent alien ship with a neat human robot.

Sorry guys, I think it's just leftover from the motorcycle body that's used for the base of the model.
