Review *** out of ***** Pros: You can change the angle of the arm, good parts including a cool jungle cat faceplate Cons: Head/arm gear moves too slowly, resemblance to Kermit the frog Amazon was my second Throwbot. He is okay, but not as good as (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.reviews)

I did it! Torso- pretty much copied from Ultrarex's dual throwing arm, from Jet's instructions. Most pieces in this arm are found in Jet (in different colours). I was missing one friction peg, as Jet only comes with three (one is a spare), but it (...) (24 years ago, 15-Oct-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.technic)

I bought this set, just to have a red pterodactyl ^-^ I'm pretty dissappointed, though: 1. Red looks awful on a pterodactyl 2. The set isn't that good. It's a vehicle on threads, and a small rock with a fire, plant, and water barrel. Included is (...) (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.reviews)

I don't know what name this set has. It's somekind of flying device, but it could never fly for real, due to the lack of a tail rotor. It's like a helicopter, but it doesn't have the tail rotor (and the main rotor is to small) and without a tail (...) (24 years ago, 1-Oct-00, to lugnet.reviews)
