Overall, the set is pretty decent - a lot better than people give credit. The torso fails a bit, but he awesome new parts and theme make well up for it. The jungle/snake theme is very welcome and I hope to see more of this in future sets, as well as more "injector" tubing.

I'm just not thrilled with Vastus. And considering there are some actually great figures offered in the Legends line (Mata Nui, Ackar, Kiina), I just don't think Vastus is worth the price tag, which is still higher than feels necessary. If you have all of the other figures, Vastus might be worth your time. But overall, while I like the snake theme, I think it may prove to be more limiting after initial construction than it is beneficial. And as awesome as it is to see a scythe in BIONICLE (I haven't checked, but I'm sure someone has used this for a Toa Nidhiki MOC by now), the way it is all put together hinders the playability. I just don't think it's worth it, gang.

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.
