Oh, and Borislav, why diss the designers so harshly? Honestly, I think they are
just as good at constructing models as the average builder. The reason why the
sets turn out like they do is a result of other factors IMHO. For example, TLG
might need to make the sets have a lower piece count, to lower the cost by a
small amount. Or they might want their set designers to incorporate new pieces
into the model. I really don't know the specific reasons, but I am sure they
exist.

Yeah, I was a bit too harsh yesterday, sorry about that.  It is these other
factors that I am protesting against.  Many people liked Star Wars Episode I
for example, but the majority of old Star Wars fans were uterly disgusted by
it.  In the same way, I can not imagine this set being sold in stores ten years
ago, not in this form (this is just my opinion).  Either way I will most likely
end up buying this as well, so it really doesn't matter that much at all, but
from my point of view, this could have been a much better set.

Have fun building!

Heh... I actually like it. This is a typical LEGO robot design, so why should anyone be surprised/shocked? The more I look at the new elements, the more I like them. The new arms look really interesting, and also have Technic pegs on the joint ends. (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
