I just bought three of the #8511 Frost for the trans-light blue spears and
other cool parts. It was totally a parts buy. I was especially happy to
note that the lids of the storage canisters can be used as wheels. This is
very cool, since they are the largest wheel we've seen lately compared the
big ones in #6989 Multi-Core Magnetizer. Not only that, but the canisters
come in different colors, so the wheels will accordingly be in available in
at least three colors.
I built the three sets and they're kinda neat looking, but unlike the
Throwbots, these guys don't seem to DO anything. Frost doesn't even stand
up by itself, it needs a kickstand. The wheel-firing feature is kinda
incongrous. Do the other sets have more interesting actions? I love this
line for the parts, but they seem even less interesting than Throwbots.
Comments?

| Agreed. If I had bought the Roboriders based on the first one I picked up (Frost), I never would have gone for them at all. They are models and that's it. There really isn't any playability with them. I, too, bought them for the parts, but not the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

| Hey Technic fans, I know that a lot of you actually buy these Roboriders for parts, while I bought them because I simply like the way they look, that's it. I also try to coolect all 130 different wheels and that's not easy at all. So, those of you (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)
