Flash on LEGO.com to work properly)
I'm on the negative side on this one.
The models (in my opinion) are not that good - essentially a skeleton with some
weapons added, and a lot of printed pieces. The designs are pretty ugly too, but
your opinion may, of course, vary.
The bronze-colored figures look like cheap run-of-the-mill unpainted generic
plastic action figures made in China to pseudo-resemble and profiteer on the
latest kid fad. Yes, they're that horrible.
On the plus side, I do like the anime-styled minifigures a lot. I just wished
they could've made the models look more anime, too. It is completely possible,
I've seen a lot of awesome anime-looking stuff from fellow AFOLs.
I'll probably pick one up regardless, to see what I think.
As a side note, I noted that the chest gun on the 7702 Thunder Fury looks
awfully similar to this (by me...):

I am secretely pleased. :) (ssh, don't mention that [insert AFOL] has done that
for years - let me bask in my percieved glory as inspiration for an official set
;) )

| (...) Just perusing these forums and this post caught my eye. I'm in agreement with you concerning the models - it seems like lego hired another crew of set designers to pull off this theme - the model designs look rather generic and rushed, and the (...)

| (...) Well, the germans are always late with LEGO. We'll get the sets in february. So I can only argue due to pics I've already seen in the net. I agree to Tobias, the models are much worse than I expected, when I heard there would be a mecha (...) (18 years ago, 29-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
