There is good and bad to Ackar, but there are so many good things about him in comparison to the preceding few years of Bionicle that I find myself wanting to emphasize the pros over the cons. Lego is taking many steps in the right direction, and I want to be encouraging about that. Really, just stabilizing the shin armour (which is the only true design flaw in this set) and bolstering the torso would make me definitively pleased with this set. What is even more encouraging in looking at the Glatorian Legends line as a whole: there is a lot of variety in the construction of each of these six fellows, and most do not use the Inika torso, which eliminates one of my major complaints about Ackar. As a wave of sets, these guys are pretty good, and much better than the dregs we've gotten these past few years. Ackar may not be the best entry in the line, but he's not bad at all.

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.
