The Awesomest Exo-force Sets


Roa McToa

Ah yes, I have been drooling at the lego shelves every time I go to look for bionicle sales and new merchandise. In my honest opinion, these two sets are some of the best sets available! I want to get striking venom as well, but I don't want to pay $50+ for it.

 

I present the Golden Guardian

This set is VERY WELL worth the retail price of about $25. The set has wonderful durability, and it has a very nice appeal to how it looks. The huge mechapants are 100% win, and overall it looks very "anime". If you are going to buy one of this years sets, I highly recommend this one. I just can't get enough of it!

 

Another great set is the Mobile Defense Tank

I got this set for $23 on sale. I wouldn't pay the full $35 price tag for this one, but at $23 I couldn't pass it up. I really like the disk shooter, except for when you fire the first disks, the extra ammo usually flies out of the top of the ammo holster. The tracks dont roll as easily as I would like, but the set lends itself to looking totally awesome!

 

I hope to attain Striking Venom next, as that set is just the BOMB!

 

Those who have these sets, please comment on what you like/dislike about them! :)

The Golden Guardian is awesome. Don't forget the gold...very useful parts. And the massive tubes.

Oh yes, when I opened the box, and saw the tubies, the gold parts, and the new ball joint bricks, I was in Lego Love!

Hmm... I was thinking of getting the Golden Guardian, but I wasn't sure about it. Should I buy it I wonder...? Well, yeah. :P

YES BUY IT! You will love the set!

I have all of those. You will be very interested to see what I've done with them.

 

Striking Venom is all right if you like large scary things that just sit there. But I know how much you enjoy posability in a set, and Striking Venom severely lacks that.

 

Piece havage is love, though.

Personally I'm considering getting the Aero booster, but I'm not sure wether to get that or the golden guardian now. And it's true that the striking venom isn't that posable, but the way it carrys troops on its legs is really cool.

Well, if you're remommending it, I might go for the Golden Gaurdian.

(But what gets me is the two gold slope/wing things for the shield. 2 in the same direction! Distress....)

 

The tank is pretty cool too, I've seen it. $23 is a good price, too.

 

Striking Venom is the shovel thing, right? I'd rather go for Bridge Walker Vs White Lightning if it's still around. (Still, $50 is a lot)

I just picked up Striking Venom for $40, and another lava chamber gate for $22!

 

I'll build the machine and post what I think about it. I already have Meca One riding a surfboard..........

 

I'd get the bridge battle, but they cleared those out after xmas at the stores here. I might drop in at the fred meyers store in Kenai and see what they have....

The Golden Guardian is awsome, I hope to aquire it soon. I've heard the Striking Venom is also quite good, I hope to get that as well. I don't know about the MDT. The disk launcher sounds quite promising. I was worried it would work about as well as the Polyps.

 

And I imagine the golden piecies on the GG are useful for MOCing.

The gold parts are definitely a win on the GG set.

 

I have assembled striking venom, and will post up my thoughts about it soon. I already see a lot of room for improvement. Many easy mods to make it a WAYYYY awesome, super poseable set.

 

My one qualm with the new lanchers is that even though they are cool and shoot far, the ammo has a tendency to flip out of the holster when you use the firing tab. Note to self..."Launchers best used with thumb over holster..."

 

 

and to Mak's quote. Hmmmmmmm... I think it's my 6th one, but it blends well with my 2 piraka strongholds, piraka outpost and race for the MOLi sets! :P

I personally don`t like the Exo-Force sets. When I bought two Exo-Force sets, they turned out to be highly unstable and a waste of money.

 

I don't like last years exo force sets. They are all of what you said.

 

This years sets have improvements though that make them a little better. I still don't like click joints all that much
