Recommendation: yes 5 / 5

Legends of Chima fans will love building and playing out new Chima battles with this detailed set. The completed Sky Scavenger looks formidable, and the flapping wings are a really nice touch. Kids will like that the Sky Scavenger can easily go from one to three different things, giving them a lot of different ways to play out their fire versus ice Chima battles.

Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 from 2 reviews

I was debating between this set and ice bites claw driller,and decided on this set.Apparently my choice was right!This is the main vulture vehichle.First the mini figures.Vardy we have seen, but still was a nice mini figure to have.Vultrix is exclusive to this set,and was a very nice mini figure who had an ice laser,and vardy had a highly powered ice cannon.Frax was included and he is partially new(he had new leg printing) and was a nice mini figure to have and he had a fire gun.Frax had a flyer with leaning wings to battle against the main vehichle.Now to the detachable vulture fighter.It was a nice addition so it can attack fraxs flyer if it is trying to out manuever the main vehichle.The main vehichle is basicly a huge aerial gun ship.Pictures can not do it justice.It had an open air vulture cock pit which Vultrix can ride in.It can also detatch like an escape pod.the main body is stable and sturdy,perfect for little ones to play with.The wings were intricately detailedwith ice orb shooters.It also had landing gear which can deploy or pull in for flight mode.You really have to play with it and experience it to truly appreciate it.I loved it and it also goes well with vardys ice vulture glider as the ice vulture glider can be used as a convoy.Perfect for ice hunter fans who want get some air support for their armada.

Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 20 reviews

Nice set that's unappreciated. The sky scavenger looks pretty organic. It may not overflow with different functions but if you can get it for less than $30, which you often can, it's definitely worth to get.
