The pros: The set's color scheme was not overpowered by gunmetal grey. The ghost blaster shoots about 8 feet. Bitil is lanky, which gives you more posing potential. You can attach a Matoran to his back. He was only $20.00. He's just plain fun to look at! The cons: He has an Av-Matoran torso. All ball sockets are weaker, allowing them to crack more easily. The little red spikes on his shoulders fall out with a tiny tug. All In all, Bitil is a good set for young and older kids, and will be fun for years to come! (Also you could creep out your younger sibling! )","review_amount":"2","rating_original":"5.0","rating_converted":"100.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.eurobricks.com\/forum\/index.php?\/forums\/topic\/19704-review-8696-bitil\/&do=findComment&comment=330915","snippet":"Bitil is an amazing set, and truly gives a sense of pride. The Ghost blaster works surprisingly well, and his mask design is great. His wings are actually better than they look, and I like them.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":"35","rating_converted":"87.50","author_name":"VBBN","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/brickset.com\/reviews\/set-8696-1","snippet":null,"review_amount":"6","rating_original":"4","rating_converted":"80.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"http:\/\/guide.lugnet.com\/set\/8696","snippet":null,"review_amount":"2","rating_original":"57","rating_converted":"57.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.bzpower.com\/story.php?ID=3873","snippet":"Personally, I think the thirteen dollars is worth it. Over half the pieces come after 2008, which will add to my collection and MOCing arsenal. The yellow Rahkshi legs are probably the reason I bought this set in the first place, and things like his feet, thigh claws, and especially the wings only add frosting to the cake. (Plus, an extra black Vahki head never hurts either.)","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Benjamin","embed":null}]}
