"this set caught my eye when it launched and when i finally got my hands on it to build it i was not disappointed. The set all-together was fun to build. the MEC unit is sturdy and easy to pose and compared to some other "mech" style sets i have (ninjago and other themes) it is very unique compared to them. i rated it average to build but i am an older lego enthusiast so younger builders may find it a little harder. i put my sets on display but i can certainly imagine this set being fun to play with because of all its accessories & cool features: (stud launching net, arm blaster, detachable jet-pod and even a cool skateboard). the mini-skeleton mech is not as articulated as the larger salvage MEC as you probably would have guessed but it was still another nice feature. i felt the set was well worth the price and no matter who or why you purchase this set for will enjoy it."
