8504 Jet
42 pieces
$5.99 US/ $9.99 Canada (paid $7.99 Canada, as LEGO was 20% off)
Pros: it's fun to build and play with
Cons: none of significance

Jet is great!  His flight mode reminds me of a mechanized pterodactyl, but that
might be just because I like dinosaurs so much.  Does anyone else see this? He
can also stand in a humanoid position, and folds into what has been described
as a hovering thresher machine.  I was determined to get a throwbot after
learning that each one had an additional function other than the throwing.  In
Jet, pulling on the neck will fold the wings.  Very clever.  And the throwing
is okay too.  Being a Technic set, Jet was actually more challenging (and fun)
to build than larger LEGO System sets with two or three times as many parts.  I
think I could build an alternate model for this set, but all of my attempts
have been interrupted so far and I put Jet back together for safer storage.
This is a very good set.
