Oh no, am I going to make more disparaging remarks about ThrowUpBots and
RoboRipOffs?
Not this time. I don't like the ThrowUpBots and RoboRipOffs simply because
Lego is using these types of sets to displace Technic to gain more sales at
a lower price point. I would have no problem with the ThrowUpBot and
RoboRipOff sets if they had more Technic compatibility.
On the other hand, the Star Wars sets are made primarily of Lego-compatible
parts. These parts are useful for more than just the Star Wars models.
