While one could say "get him to round out the collection" or "the laser drill looks like a rifle" or "I'm an Oakland fan," I'm not going to say any of those things. For one, I'm only a Saints fan by proximity, and two, this set shows so much ingenuity. Heck, the shoulder-mounted Zamor launcher alone should be enough to justify his purchase.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
