Maybe if they marked the 4950 (and most of the Rock Raiders) line as ages 6-8 I
wouldn't have such a problem with them.  But as an overall value, these sets in
general are awful.  They just don't have that much building value - my 8 year
old likes the looks, but honestly I'd much rather give him the Adventurers or
Ninja line or just go straight to action figures.

I do agree that I want to snag the Rock Raider Babe head.  She'll make a great
Punk Pirate Babe.  :-)  I'll take a closer look at the 4910.  Thanks for the
review.

Personally I think 4950 ( http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=4950-1 ) • is
awful.  This set takes the SPUD to a new level with the body of the vehicle as
just one big monolithic piece that could serve so few other purposes it is
misserable.  The cockpit is not much better and with the body and cockpit put
together you have about 75% of the set volume in just 2 pieces.

After seeing 4950 ( http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=4910 )I did not
think I would buy any Rock Raiders sets and I probably would not have except I
really liked the Rock Raider Babe minifig head as a Rebel Pilot for my Star
Wars models so I decided to buy 4910 at $2.40 (it was on sale).  I would have
to say that I did not look real closely at this set before I bought it because
I just wanted the Minifig.  After I opened the set however I was pleasently
supprised by what I found.  The model itself is fairly decent but the part
selection is even better for such a small set. • <snippage>

I just thought I would throw in by 2 cents worth on these 2 sets. First let me say that I do not personally own 4950 but my nephiew got it recently and I helped him put it together so I have first hand knowledge. Personally I think 4950 ( (URL) ) is (...)
