It's Like Getting Free Squid With A Barakki

Today, I got bored while driving people around, so on one of my trips, I stopped by my local Fred Meyers to see if there was any sales on LEGO Bricks. There was; a 20% off sale on all LEGO Bricks, including Barakki. So I picked up Kalmah, and instead of ten bucks, he was only eight. But there was also some squid ammo, so I grabbed a box as well, and that turned out to be a tad less than two dollars. So, with the two things combined, it was about a full $10, but it's almost like I get the squid ammo for free. And what's even better is, the squid ammo is BLUE! :P

 

Couple notes on Kalmah. Tenticles look cool, but are actually really annoying on the set, in my opinion. One I got was even bent around (I could straighten it out, but it still has an unusual curve). The head is okay, and the launcher, to my surprise, is much sturdier than the one I got with Mantax. Hmm, I guess that first one I got was just a poor quality piece. Kalmah's shooter actually seems to work, and it doesn't fall off his hand. I'm also suprised that his feet are not recolored Hordika feet... they're actually a cool redesign that I don't mind.

 

Think next time I'll get Ehlek. I wanna get him for his cool weapon and spines, but the newer pieces in Kalmah and Mantax have appealed more to me than his spikes. But when I do get him, I'll have some pretty blue squid to attach to him. (The blue squid go well with Kalmah and his aqua eyes.)

 

On another note, I am not 15 dollars poorer (had to buy grapes with the LEGO Bricks...) So that's more money I'm gona need to earn...

I think all the Barraki have rubbery shooters - my Mantax, Takadox and Carapar do, at least. I have no idea why, as it only makes firing squids so much harder... :angry:

 

I thought the squid ammo was green. :huh: Either way, like the Zamor, I'll probably pick up a pack just for the new colours.

 

$5 for grapes? Is that expensive, 'cause it seems it to me...

Yeah, the grapes were expensive. I had bought some cheep ones earlier, but then my mom wanted expensive ones… they were god though…

 

The launcher’s pin was not rubbery and didn’t fall out of the hand piece as easily as Mantax’s did. That’s what I meant by sturdier. And, yeah, the squids are blue. Pretty blue… And their fun to squeeze into openings in Kalmah’s armour, in places where no zamour can go.
