This is rare but.. I disagree with Pharazon. Looking at the pictures, it -appears- that LEGO went the more positive direction and used mostly 'standard' pieces to build these sets. Meaning precisely that we WON'T be getting a whole bunch of useless 'specific' pieces and special molds. That, immediately, ups their value over a lot of the newer sets that include a lot of specialty pieces. I also don't see many bionicle-specific pieces, which I'm pretty happy about.

The new hair pieces look silly, but whether it's open to customization to make it look better.. I'm not sure.


And the Mechs themselves have grown on me from a child's standpoint. Maybe many of you can do better, so these mechs aren't very interesting. But I'd be willing to bet that most 8-10 year old kid's can't make bigger, more impressive and convincing-looking mechs.


And I'll re-iterate a point I made elsewhere: I, personally, do not like anime at all, but I still think these are decent sets. And I agree with Ramus that, with the current 'pop culture fad' that is anime -- TLG would be brainless not to pursue it. Not making an 'anime' line is about as smart as cancelling their bionicle line. Whether I like it or not.

The minifigs and there accessories will be great I think to well customizize but the mechs look pretty poor.
