I completely agree. I've just finished building the Technic Battle Droid and I
would have to rank it among the top twenty sets I've ever built! The design is
elegant. The piece selection is excellent, and the functions it performs (unfolding
by pushing a button on it's back, and retrieving it's blaster from it's backpack
holster) are ingenius! I very rarely keep models together after building them, but
I can't bring myself to tear this one down. Looks like I'll have to get another one
(or two) for all those wonderful tan technic pieces. All I can say is the TLC
designers really earned their money on this one!
