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.

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 (...)
