| Hello mecha friends. I have not seen anyone from build.mecha (forgive me if someone did and I missed it) talk about the new theme. I am digging a lot of the parts used but I am not sure about the minifigs and the design. I am not pro or against it (...) (19 years ago, 24-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Those wings would be handy for building something like a Murasame from Gundam Seed Destiny. The (...) (19 years ago, 24-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

| (Impressions based on photos found at: (URL) - I couldn't get the 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 (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

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 (...)

| Hello, David- This is a great topic on which I'd love to hear what the Mecha HOFers think, but this isn't appropriate for OT.debate. OT.debate is for topics other than LEGO-- such as politics, name-calling, and of course, the existence of God:-) It (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
