My son's (age 7) review: "When I bought the LEGO set, I made it straight away. It was so fun and I really enjoyed playing and I still have it now. My favourite things about it are the disc on the door, the guns on the top, the claw and the sword."

Creating smaller versions of previous models is probably among the greatest challenges that a LEGO designer can encounter, especially when the previous set is extremely impressive. On that basis, I am satisfied with 70665 The Samurai Mech. 9448 Samurai Mech remains more appealing but that seems inevitable as the new mech only contains 154 pieces but captures the important design features of its predecessor in my opinion.
