Nice addition
" This was a fun set to assemble, less than an hour total. This plane reminds me of those small planes that take you from small towns to larger cities. This is going to go next to my farm area of my train layout. The inside lacks detail, six seats and the cockpit, nothing else. The outside was nicely done, thin and sleek. I did replace the gears in the engines with a cone. Thought it looked better. Like all the planes in this theme, it has great swoosh factor.
At a per brick price of almost 13 cents it's priced about same as other City sets. This set is a good alternative to the larger more expensive 3182 Airport set. "

Lots of fun
" The set took an entire evening to assemble. It has a few tricky parts but the instructions are good. Most of the time is spent on suspension, and all the exterior detail. It has a lot of it.
The tank looks good closed up, a lot like a moving fortress. It has plenty of playability with all the minifigs, scoutwalker, and all the moving parts on the outside. The selection of minifigs is great, they just keep getting better and better.
During play the wheels do come off now and then, but it's just a minor issue for a fun set like this. At a per brick price of under 10 cents, you can't ask for more. "

Nice looking ship
" I purchased this ship because of the colors and the minifigs. I wasn't disappointed. The set assembled quickly, less than a half an hour. The ship looks very nice when assembled, and is well built. It has better than average swoosh factor.
Both the droid and Plo K00n look very cool. Worth getting the set for by themselves.. At a per brick price of over 14cents, the set is a little pricey, but still worth it. "

Good game
" This game is similar to the Race 3000 game. You have to travel along a path and avoid obstacles. It took a while to set up the first time, about 20 minutes. The game moves at a good pace. It's easy to change so that it's not the same every time. Seems to be geared for older children (around 10 yrs), younger ones may get bored fast. The microfigs are great, will be collectibles I'm sure.
If your a Harry Potter fan, or like the Race 3000 game, it's worth giving this one a try. "

Great Game
" This is one of those games that makes you laugh the whole time your playing it. Fast and easy setup. Easy rules. We had grandchildren as young as 4 years playing this. Lots of fun, and any one can win at any point in the game.
The game is geared towards younger players, but adults will enjoy playing with younger children. "

Quick build.
" With only 17 parts Stormer went together very fast! Nothing tricky here, a six year old could assemble this set without any additional help.
Once together he looks great. Posses nicely, but doesn't seem to have the flexibility of the Bionicle sets. Even though it says he's six inches tall, I was still surprised at how small he was. I was really disappointed that his weapon is all one piece. Feels like it was designed for the younger Lego fan. All in all a good set for the price. "

Not the best in theme
" The set had some great building techniques, and the minifig Jawson is very cool. When you fold back the cockpit, the wings automatically collapse with it. There are some of the new bricks in this set. 2X4 tiles, 1x3 tiles. One cool feature is that the pilots visor is red and the canopy is blue. When you close the canopy the visor looks black.
The transforming feature in this set didn't really add to it. It just looks like the ship is upside down. The choice of color in some areas, green, and brown bricks, seemed so out of place that it took away from the overall look of the ship.
The set has a good per brick price of just over 9 cents. Unless your dying to get the Jawson minifig, I'd pass. "

Nice looking set
" I took my time building this set. It took just under two hours. There are some nice building techniques in this set, fenders, engine, interior just to name a few. Some parts fit very snug. If you are buying this for someone in the lower age group, they may need some help.
Once together it is a nice looking and sturdy set. I built the Gallardo LP560-4 yellow and the two are almost the same. This set has a few more details than the other.
At a per brick price of a little over 7 cents, it's a great value. "

Great set in a new theme
" I purchased this set to start with because of the size of the bike. It's a full foot long! The way old Bionicle, new Hero Factory and Technic pieces come together to make a great set shows promise for the new theme.
It went together quick, under a half an hour. It's a very sturdy with the ability to make lots of changes to Furno and his bike.
The price is right up there with old Bionicle sets, but a little high for the new Hero Factory sets. Still a good buy.

Not bad for the price
" This was a fast build, under 15 minutes. The back yard blaster (black boat) was nothing special to build but the x-treme daredevils (White boat) had some nice techniques in it's construction. Neither the harpoon or the fish fires very well. Overall the boats do have some good playability to them.
The minifigs is were this set stands out. Their faces, helmets, everything about them makes them a must have. A great addition to anyone's collection. At a per brick price of just over 10 cents the price is right. "
