(...) Hey there, Lindsay. Yes, the "Hyper Saw" actually spins...there's a micro motor under the hood. I figured if BrikWars makes you take up space for a propulsion system, it might as well do something. Besides, it's kinda cool to watch. As for the (...)

(...) I'd been wondering who had the singular joy of creating that demented "Hall of Doom on a buzzsaw" (think "Superfriends")--was the Vader helm a part of the original plan, or did it just sort of get popped on top of it?
