" This is my second review for a Marvel set, my first being the one for Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape.
MINIFIGURES
Captain America: He is exclusive to this set, and has great detailing, not to mention a dark blue head and torso and dark red gloves. His shield is also pretty cool and fits on a clip on the back of the motorcycle.
Aliens: They're both pretty much the same, so they get one section. They have gold heads and purple gloves, meaning that all of the minifigs in this set have rare-colored gloves and heads, a nice plus for minifigure collectors. The rest of them is just a huge mess of intricate printing. If you ask me, the went a bit too far on the detailing, but that's just my opinion.
THE SET
You get a motorcycle, a small flying...thing... and an artillery turret of sorts with a rare trans-purple cone. The build is quite simple, but there are stickers, which are a pain to put on. It's a nice little set.
OVERALL
The fact that the Alien General and Cap are exclusive to this set is an upside, as are the common pieces in rare and unusual colors. All in all, it's a nice battle pack-type set that you should get for Captain America and the rare pieces. "

" Hello, readers! I'm back! This time, it's so I can review LEGO's new-ish Superheroes theme, starting with this set.
MINIFIGURES:
Loki: He gets top billing, and the detailing is great, but I do have two gripes about him. First of all, he simply reuses Bruce Wayne's head instead of having his own. (On a side note, the Sith Troopers from the Star Wars: The Old Republic sets have Bruce Wayne's head as well. I guess he's that awesome.) Another thing is that his helmet is actually made of rubber, not the plastic that I thought it was.
Iron Man: Even though he wasn't in this scene in the movie (as the title states), he was a great addition because the only other set he comes in is Quinjet Aerial Battle. The detailing is great and the helmet is neat, too.
Hawkeye: He has some nice printing, but I do wish he had an actual quiver. Otherwise, he looks great.
THE SET
Well, it's a truck, but it's a good-looking truck at that. I do like the rare windshield piece, though, than they used instead of the regular one. The truck, however, has the two greatest problems that most modern (especially Star Wars) LEGO sets have: stickers and flick-fire missiles. However, the launching function in the back of the truck works, there's a fire extinguisher on the side that doesn't have a spot for Hawkeye's bow, and the large doors are some nice features. All in all, it's a cool set with two small problems that won't bother you too much.
OVERALL
This is a nice small set that has three important and detailed minifigures and a nice truck. The price-to-piece ratio is a little under the ideal point, but it's still worth it. However, if you already have the larger Avengers sets, this set has no new minifigures and can be skipped. Otherwise, I highly recommend that you buy it together with the Captain America set. "

" Hello everyone! I have come back with another review. This is my fourth and final review for the HEROICA games until the new one comes out in 2012. I've already covered rules and gameplay before, so I'll just stick to the pros and cons.
Pros
Knight and Goblin King are exclusive to this set
Biggest HEROICA game
Looks very cool
Attention to detail is amazing
Cons
5-$10 overpriced
Well, that's it, then. See ya next year! Oh, wait, this isn't going to be seen until 2012....Oh, well. Happy New Year! "

" Hello everyone! I am finally back after a sabbatical, if you will, and I have a review for the rather horrendous Atlantis magnet set that has 1 diver, a crab-like and a shark-like anthromorphic creatures. Let me start by saying that this is a complete waste of money, or, if not, time, because you have to spend quite some time and effort getting them off, so in my opinion, the glued magnet sets are LEGO's all-time biggest blunder. Yes, LEGO, you read that right. Your biggest blunder ever. STOP THE GLUE!!!!!!!!!!
Pros
Uhhh.... Ummm... Pretty much nothing, except that the crab guy is kinda cool.
Cons
The minifigures look dumb.
GLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I give this set a 0/10. Don't buy it, or you'll be deeply dissapointed. Get the big set instead. Well, that's it. Bye! "

" Hello again, my friends! I have a review for the excellent, fun, well-priced LEGO game Robo Champ!
Build
The build is very simple, but the robots are so cool! They all have the same basic body parts, but different. The trophy is simple but awesome! Overall, 10/10.
Gameplay
The gameplay is very quick, and luck plays a big part in this game, but that's good, because there are no advantages or disadvantages for anyone, and makes it more fun! 10/10
Overall
This is a neat little game that can keep you entertained, but not for a very long time. Still, this is one of my favorite LEGO games. A must-buy, especially now that it's on sale! Bye everyone! "

" Hello everyone! This is yet another review for Draida Bay, but this one's mine. Anyways, this was my second Heroica purchase (I got it with Nathuz, which I have a review for) and I think it's worth the money IF bought with another Heroica game.
Pros
GOBLINS!!!
Board has AMAZING detail for its size!
The game is actually really fun!
The microfigs look great!
Cons
It has the most common hero microfigs.
On its own, it's not that great.

" Hello everyone! I have yet another review for you' and this time it's for Waldurk Forest, from Heroica! Now, this being a board game, the review is gonna be different than usual. Now, to the review!
Microfigures
This will always be the first part of a board game review.
Druid: Amazing detail on everything, and he looks cool too. He's also moderately rare, giving him a score of: 9/10.
Ranger: Again, great detail and he's my favorite hero in this set. He's also exclusive to Waldurk, earning him a perfect 10!
Barbarian: Well, he actually not that bad, but he's much too common. That gets him a 6/10.
Spider: Spiders are rare, and they're awesome, too! I'd say, oh, 10/10!
Werewolf: Kinda cool. But, they are rare, so I'll give him a 7/10.
Dark Druid: Same rating and description as Druid. Again, 9/10.
Board:
It looks spectacular! The layout with the entrance that looks like a doorway is my favorite. I'll say 10/10.
Gameplay
The rules do require a bit of modification. Just give the Dark Druid more health and a strength of 4, and werewolves and spiders should also be stronger. Magic doors should be able to be placed on any gray space. Weapons are priced better at 2 gold. Those are my modified rules, and I hope that they help.
Overall
This is a very good game, it's fun, reasonably priced, and looks great. This is ideally your first Heroica set, followed by Draida or Nathuz. Overall, !0/10. It's very reccomended. Thanks for reading! "

Pros
-Black Thornax launcher
-Zamor spheres
-Axe
Cons
-Uglier than a smooshed bug
-Spikes are easy to bend out of shape
-Head mouth shows between teeth
-Looks dumb
Well, that's my review, and that's final! Hope I helped! "
