Dunno, some people simply can't value mere minifigs, anymore.

How come the ploybags tend to have some of the coolest sets?

Idunno - I was actually very surprised to see them on store shelves since we never received any of them in the past (and strangely compelled to pick them up because of that). Here's hope that ice bear mech baggie reaches us eventually.

Fun fact: the moon buggy is more or less a modern throwback to the original launch command set http://brickset.com/sets/6516-1/Moon-Walker

Damn that is cute as hell, and here I was making a Tairin Mini-mech...

Image

Anyways, LOOT!

Image
60042 High Speed Police Chase, picked it up because I wanted the bikes for my Raptors.

Image
Here's the car compared to Bad Cop's car from 70819 Bad Cop Car Chase.
At only 110 pieces for $19.97 it REALLY falls short of the $0.10 per piece mark, and other than the three Minifigs and two bikes it's not anything particular good.

Image
75091 Flash Speeder!

Image
This is a GREAT set!
Plenty of SNOT elements and building, a beautiful recreation, plus great play action!

Image
$29.84 for 312 pieces make this a MUST BUY, Brikwarriors everywhere can make use of this thing!

Image
60034 Arctic Helicrane...

Image
Image
I got this set for Brikwars reasons, and it looks to be very modifiable towards that end...
...But at $39.97 for only 262 pieces, you'd probably be better off with the newer Chinook style 60093 Deep Sea Helicopter.

The Dog Sled is cute though...

Image
60033 Arctic Ice Crawler!
While I've had this for a while, I figured I'd do a little review of it as well since this is another MUST BUY for any Brikwarrior.
The set is a useful little Utility Crawler that stock is a semi-decent transport, fairly easy to modify, and the thing has SNOT elements out the ass!
At $11.00 for 113, I got three of the damn things!

Also, finally:
Image
THE LAST ORDER IS IN!!!

I'm pretty sure the sides of the speeder aren't supposed to lift up. Unless it shows it in the instruction booklet, since I don't actually have the set.

They are, the feature is even highlighted on the back of the box.

I always found the flash speeder really comfy for being such a throwaway design. Maybe it's the green that makes it stand out in the sea of graypuke SW vehicles.

Well as you can see, the build is exceptionally roomy...
Even with the odd jumper plate offset seating, the four implied seats occupied still leave a large amount of space.
I think I figured you could cram at least 7 minifigs in it easily.

Guys we should have an intervention for Bagels. He needs to stop buying bricks and get a job.
