Set Reviews
Moderators: Dr. X, ikensall, fredde
I'm in a post-"dark ages" rebuilding period, and I need sets. And these sets look cool. And I want them. Besides, I bought an Avatar set because it was on sale, and I'm sure I can make use of the bits and pieces somehow.
Also, I'm severely lacking in the wheels department. I have two motorcycles, two trucks, and an oversized tank chassis with a wheel that's approximately two and a half minifigs tall.
Not to mention, I could always stage a Battle Race BrikWars scenario: last car running wins. Each car could have an assortment of weapons and gadgets that could be used to attack other cars or defend against said attacks.
Simply put, there's more reasons to buy a set than "how many pieces can I use in a BrikWars campaign". You just have to look a little harder.

the lego catalog has an entire accessory pack that's literally just a pile of hundreds of wheels and axles. or at least, it WAS there the last i checked.

Nostalgia, possibly. I have a friend who, despite his lack of interest in LEGO, will probably think about buying the sets due to his undying and insatiable love of Speed Racer.Atomsk wrote:Eww, why?

Funny, I'd think a love of Speed Racer would keep you from buying those sets.
