OK now the review.
The Good:
1. Green Hair
2. NO pre-fab chasies.
3. Almost $.10 per part range.
4. Lots of plates and slopes.
5. 18 Technic 1/2 pegs (The ones with a peg and a nub that works as a stud)
Larry P. you got to love it!!!
6. Cool new Red Visor piece on Scorpion Guy's helmet.
7. Not just a set it is also a game.
For the most part there are no real bad parts in this set. Plus the game looks
pretty fun. I am going to bring this to the next NELUG meeting so we can
play-test it. Other then that I really like this set and I would give
playability a 10 out of 10.
The Bad:
1. Stigma of Town Jr. (which its not)
2. You get EXTRA wheels to use as goal posts (do we really need more wheels)
3. Jr'ized packageing.
I am going to HIGHLY recommend this set. It has cool parts and cool figs.
Plus it just looks way cool.
