SURGE & ROCKA Combat Machine

My granson loved this, this is one of the one's he wanted. He is really into Lego's. This arrived quickly evenfaster then expected, I told them it was for my grandson's birthday and was hoping it would arrive on timeand they made sure he received it on time. Thanks again more less

I think that while this set has a lot going for it on paper, the final model just doesn't do it for me. I had fun building it and I like all the play features, but I'm just not a fan of the looks of the Combat Machine. If you think it looks cool then you'll have a lot of fun with this set, otherwise, it's not bad to see the interesting build and to supplement your parts collection, but I'd look towards other summer sets first before I decided on this one. more less

Do I love blue? Yes. Do I love mechs that combine together? Yes. Do I love 4 legged mechs and flying vehicles? Yes. But when I look at this set, too many things, to me, scream unfinished. The ship is a valiant effort, but overally really doesn't look like anything more than the oddly shaped cockpit with two wing pieces, sitting on top of a bed of technic bits, with flcik fire missiles to show which direction it's supposed to be facing. Surge's mech is actually really nice from the front, but like many cars, gets progressively worse as you get to the sides and back. The overall "combined" machine is very open and unfinished looking from the back, and I can't get behind the rear legs, which look like an utter afterthought at the most. more less
