Adrian is correct in that we spent quite a while checking out the new parts
and getting some ideas of what to expect from this line. I was impressed
with the overall line and absolutely loved the animals set (lizard, crab,
ant, etc) due to the sheer number of parts included. One warning though-if
you aren't a fan of click hinges, you won't like these sets.
The mecha set is fairly impressive for what it is, but isn't groundbreaking
in terms of connection ideas. It's entirely click-hinge based which was a
bit upsetting, but the overall parts included more than make up for this.
Think of the LoM mechs and you'll have a pretty good idea of how the lower
torso is built. Colors in this set: Blue, Light Blue, Orange, Dark Grey,
Light Grey.
