Anyone else have the strong feeling this is a rather speedy reaction to last

too small. They should have gone for a more Palmer-esque parts selection,

windshields, etc). It would be truly nice if they were to release a fifth x-pod
in grayscale, with grey pod and lots of bot-sy parts. Interesting to see this
new direction..
