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 (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) 8425 and 8836? Nah - the best Technic plane is <set:8855> IMO I'll bet you a Technic piece of your choice that you won't be able to order the parts for THAT one.

(...) 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 (...)

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. (25 years ago, 9-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 (25 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)
