Makuta Icarax is a good set in a few different ways. But if you're looking for a load of new pieces, he's not the set for you. For those who just love the Bionicle set line and the hardcore fans, Icarax is a must get that you shouldn't pass up.

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.
