...at the reactions I've seen to the slizers and the "follow-up" products of the robo-riders and the coming Bionicle. I've read almost nothing positive about these things. While they aren't really the greatest thing for heavy builders or people (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) great (...) don't (...) I love those sets! Here's why- 1. They do stuff. A few gears and a launcher is more function than the (former)LEGO SYSTEM sets have. 2. It's easy and fun to combine sets, with endless possibilities. 3. They look cool. (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I would have thought so - remember that action figures are always very popular with kids, and I assume that ranges such as the Roborider are an attempt to capture a share of this market. Jennifer Clark (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

Somehow neither of these series appeal to me...maybe I'm just a bit too old (14). Although you're probably right about the fact that these are probably designed for younger builders, since my brother (who is 8) really enjoys the Throwbots. (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's another reason why they're cool. I used to play with action figures and wonder how they worked. Like, I had this dinosaur that lowered his head and opened his mouth when his knees were pushed together. Now with Throwbots and RoboRiders (...)

(...) You're not too old at all. I'm 16, I have 5 throwbots (1 of them blaster), 2 robo-riders, and I plan on getting 3-4 Bionicle. I may like these partially because other than some GI-Joes I never HAD action figures, and these combine those with (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

Roboriders could be saved for us big kids (I just turned 16, twenty years ago) with a few minor changes. 1. Split the ball joint cross axle off of the leg assembly. I can do this myself, but I hate to take a razor saw to Lego parts. The detatched (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)
