Me too, and it sounds like a winning formula to me.

They are freaking robots.

It's impossible to say because there is a huge difference between what Bionicle was and what Bionicle turned into. I love Bionicle 2001, but 2003 forward was just crap.

It's not just BIONICLE that's been hurt by LEGO's cheapification of parts. I noticed a lot of system parts have had a less consistent color- as in, if you have a lot of brown pieces, you'll notice that some are lighter and darker than they should be. I never noticed that in the older sets. Stickers are the result of cheapification as well.

That's probably a good thing.

I didn't even buy BIONICLE since that change occurred. I'll see how much I mind the sockets when I get Glatorian. I didn't realize BIONICLE had issues with balls.

...that would be freaking hilarious. Great idea. I'll get to work on another offensive LEGO moc. :D

I wish there were more retro reviews on EB like this- there are a lot of amazing old sets out there! We should all team up and review all of the old classics.

You won't be saying that when terrorist children are roaming the streets!

Now all our children will become terrorists!

How did you make that armor?

Simple, but effectively so. A good set, but I don't think it's the greatest.

This is my favorite Indiana Jones set! I'll bet getting this one for sure, mostly for the parts.

Hmm... I would love it if the theme was officially dubbed Space Police III.

They won't. Mars Mission - Life on Mars Power Miners - Rock Raiders Aqua Raiders - Aqua Zone Space Police - Space Patrol

I thought it was Space Patrol?

You're a tad late.

Well done sir.

I just want my pics. If they mess up Space Police I will be riotous.

I voted Ice Station Odyssey because I'm partial to Ice Planet and my other choice, the Intercept base, is getting way too many votes. (yeah, it was good, but not THAT good) EDIT: Oh my, topic revival. My bad.

I'm liking 09 a lot right now.

I love retro reviews. This is a good set, but honestly I was never a big M-Tron fan. I doubt I'd ever get this one, given the boring minifig and huge abundance of moving parts. Still a good set, and excellent review there. I'm going to review the Deep Freeze Defender as soon as it comes in the mail. :)

Honestly this set doesn't impress me. It's disproportionate and the hands/tools aren't very good. Good review though.

Nice review, but what's the price?

That would be kind of cool, really.
