No offense Jason, but I think, with exception to the new ogel underwater base,
that the new Alpha team offerings suck. The shark sub is nice if you remove
the wierd contraptions on the front. I think subs have been done too much....
lego divers, the hydronauts (Ohhh I love my Neptune Research Base), and now
Alpha Team / divers....
I love the first series of Alpha team guys, all with DIFFERENT specialties...
great concept, the over-all look was still too juniorized though...
I really think the new Ogel base would make an excellent "tourist type" tower
if done right, in a town setting. It looks like it has a lot of nice pieces
to it!!!
Just my opinions...that's all
