I tried to total pcs, it seems that there are 364 pcs in this set. Jet is pretty nice. Jeep imho slightly flattened.

I have a small set database (which include clone brands) here, if i find a review i add a link to corresponding set. (unfortunately there are just ~290 reviews for clone brands, not so much). If someone could say which format is interested i could just export the corresponding data, and you can filter or look at it.

Great review and great set. It is great that lego has started to show us life of ordinary people. We got windmill and blacksmith. I think this is the way Kingdoms should be. Unfortunately it is still unknown if the new kingdoms sets will sale here. This set imho the most interesting in the new Kingdoms line.

Great Review. I was always shocked why in this set prison camera is with bars, but without atmosphere. What will be if the oxygen in the prisoners' tanks will run out. He will die. Severe justice. ^_^

Thanks Final Exit, the review is great. I was thinking that Alien Conquest theme will be disappointing just like SP3, but now i see i was wrong. Also if it is not hard, could you please post some close-up photos of the connector that connects front and rear parts of the truck. I am interesting how they have done it.

There is an error with batman reviews index. For set 7780 listed Bloody Jay review. But this is review of set 7781 not 7780.

All sets are great, but I vote for 3739 because this is beautiful example of ordinary medieval life. 10039 Fortress also very interesting but i think it is more outpost than fortress because of it is size. (All lego castle are not two big. If they were big i am afraid how much will them cost).

Imho pure white for this minifig isn't good. It looks like a china toy. And why they had used black head again. We all know that all clones are the same. But i still don't know why lego uses blank black heads for them. All new clones are with faces. It seems that the best Boba Fett minifigure for me is from 8097. Great comparisons photos. I think it wasn't too easy to get all clan together :)

This set is special for me. Lego and this set are forever binded with, because this is first lego set i have known. And also the most favorite one. I even made a review of this set in Russian. This review is wonderful, i think i won't try to translate my old review to english because EB already have great review for this set. But may be someone interested in photos. They could be seen on brickshelf In addition to this review i would like to submit rear part of the box with the alternative models. It is slightly bigger than 800x600 so i want embed it. You could see it here The scuba suits of aquanauts and aquasharks have one minus - if your try to lift minifigs hands it will try to jump from minifig ^_^

My first castle set was presented to me by my friend. My last set was :)

Stickers again :( Red is not my favorite colour, i like blue and green, but in this set red racing boat looks better. One of the most valuable part imho is old shark.

Although on the movie we couldn't see how the building looks. (We see only other side) But the buildings looks like an example of naboo architecture, so it is great. And what interesting use of gear part.

Evil guys are often more cool than good ones ^_^ As i am not the author of youtube videos. I could not enable embedding. So i replaced embed with links to youtube.

Review 4796 Ogel Mutant Squid Name: Ogel Mutant Squid Item #: 4796 Pcs: 61 Figs: 1 Year: 2002 MSRP: 10.00(0.16 $/pcs) Weight: 150 g Parts weight: 82g Inventory: Bricklink, Peeron Introduction: Special thanks go to SteelGhost the member of Doublebrick (of of Russian LUGs), who supplied the set for review. Coming across the online discussion regarding this set I was amazed with small amount of part - 61 psc - it's less than modern "Creator" mini-sets. As soon as I got the set I understood it's bargain. The box has minor damaged - obviously "crossing the borders in "airmail" means being throwed as far as possible by personnel. History: In 2001's Alpha Team destroyed mind controlling orbs, but Ogel escaped from them. Because Ogel is not the one to hide in 2002 he returned to face Alpha Team once again. Now he could use his orbs to transform sea creatures into monsters. After establishing underwater base, he makes his second try to get over the world. In last battle with Alpha Team he has lost his left hand (I couldn't find how this happened). But this time Alpha team again have defeated Ogel. They destroyed his underwater base, but Ogel again has escaped using the deployable cabin of his Mutant Squid. After this Agent Dash reverted the Evil Orb action and all sea creatures returned to their previous form. But we all know that Ogel will strike back. Packaging: Box is not very big, it is slightly bigger than the box of 6192. On the front side there is Ogel and his gorgeous squid. On the back side of the box we could see alternative models, and small image notifying us about comics inside. Side image shows us all characters of Alpha Team(only minifigs, why do they forgot the Tee-Vee), characters inside this set are highlighted(only Ogel). Parts and instruction: Inside the box we could see two packets with details, windscreen, instruction and mini catalog in the A4 format. If we pay attention to this mini catalog we could find out what interesting sets was selled long ago. Fisrt side presents us Alpha Team, Jack Stone, Dinosaurs. Each theme is presented by 3-4 sets/ On reverse there are Harry Potter, Racers, three computer games and Legoland commercial(why they advertise it, everybody knows it is cool) Now about instruction, it is bigger than set box,image on the instruction is same with the image on the front side of the box. On the first page we could see images of all sets in this subtheme Mission Deep Sea, but there are no promo and limited sets there. (the most insteresting from missing sets is 4789) In the bottom of the page we could see Alpha Team theme characters again. WOW a rebus. If we solve it we could make our way to lego.com and get some bonus(i think this is not actual now). We would not stop on the construction process, if anyone wants to see it he could download instruction.Part list is missing. It seems it was not lego tradition to include part list in 2002. And here is a comics that was promised to us. Flex on his underwater scooter(4791) was swimming, not knowing about Ogel watching him. Only miracle has saved Flex, but everything could change in a moment. Rope has been tied to squid (Why this has stopped Ogel?) Squid has transformed into alternative mode and started to chase Flex. Ogel wins, and small squid is free again. Gip Gip Hoorah to the Dark Lord of the Deep. Back side of the instructions also copies back side of the box, with small difference, there is no comics promising icon. Now the most interesting part - PARTS. There is not much extra parts here, only 4, and all of them are technic pins. Details not very rare, but hard to find now, or of the rare colod. For example golden chrome helmet wasn't produce after 2006 year, and in 2006 it was rare. It was common in 1999-2002 years. Ogel Armour hasn't been seen since 2004. Transparent green lance , could be found only in this theme and in set 8780, so i think it could be called rare.Cabin parts are hard to find themselves. In this colour there could be seen on in 2002 year.(upper part also was in set 9320). Squid tentacles are made from three parts. . Light gray triangle also is not easy to find now. Control Panel (not a sticker) with such pattern and colour presents only in two sets. As you could see this set is composed from rare and interesting parts. Minifigs: There is only one minifig in this set. It is the main (and only because we shouldn't count drones) enemy of the Alpha Team - Ogel. Body, legs, and hands are black without any drawings on them. Red hook instead of one hand. The good thing about hook - it could handle items just as ordinary minifig hand. Ogel wears special black diving suit(or armour) and helmet. In aquazone suits then you move minifigs hands up suit is trying to jump from the minifigurs. Ogel's suit is not like that. About the helmet visor, it is chrome gold and it is gorgeous, i almost loved it. This is how space helmets should look like. Model: I don't like to show model assembling steps in my reviews, so i have found videos on youtube for people who would like to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdeRvcazy3g Alternative models: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdKswaMXERs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMXI7LUJqC8 Assembled model length nearly 20cm. Mutant squid have four tentacles each with three joints, which gave the ability to turn them to different sides. (Squid is seems to be a prototype for the one in 8161 Atlantis set) In the central part you could see lance-rocket and dangerous claws. This is how the squid is seen to the ones he chase, two propellers gave him ability to reach good speed. (for example Aquashark Barracuda 6155 has only one) Mutant squid has ability to broke into two parts, tentacles and the Ogel's cabin They are joined together by two Technic Pins Logically when we cabin is deployed, we need to turn engines (luckily we could do this) and swim in opposite direction, but if we do so Ogel will be sat backwards to the movement direction. To look inside we should remove the top part(as usual). It is not bad inside. Ogel is sitting on a chair in front of the monitor. Now we have found out how he is swimming then the cabin is dettached. This is how the cabin looks without the pilot,usage of half piramide part as seat is original. Minus is that Ogel should be half lying on this seat, or the cabing could not be closed. Tentacles could be rotated in three points as i said before. Claws could only turn around their axis and move up and down, but it is better than no movement at all. Conclusions: Great set, Great parts, Very Great minifig. This set leaves only positive impression. Even small number of pieces is not bad, because they are all very interesting. I could recommend this set to anyone who likes the sea deeps(I am the fan of Aquazone, and i liked this set). This Alpha Team subtheme imho is much better than Aquariders. Pros: Rare and interesting parts. Fully equiped Ogel minifig. Beautiful model. Cons: There could be more parts in this set.

Unbelievable. After seeing the end part of the video i understood that it wasn't captured from the first time. It must be enormous work to build it. How much time did it take to build this?

I think pirates theme should be continued. They could revive islanders and give more attention to Imperials. Although Imperial Armada Flagman is great, they could give imperials and pirates some smaller ships also.
