Another mini-set from the Exo-Force line, building this toy takes a little more work than with Uplink. It has more parts and a lot more stickers for detail. Even the mini-figure has to be put together piece by piece! But it's really no big deal. This mini-machine still has its main weapons, a set of sturdy, posable legs and cleverly designed arms. So at the end of building, your child won't be disappointed (and the price tag doesn't hurt either). While the robots of Exo-Force may be pushovers for the heroes, Sentry is one superior toy.

I got this from my brithday I loved it.later I got the fire hammer it is the best.

First let me talk about Iron Predator. Iron predator is tank with a cannon and missle that you can fire. It also has a ladder. Now let me talk about T-Rex. It is a T-Rex action figure with moving arms, moving legs, and a moving head.I reccomend this toy!

I think that the DINO ATTACK! legos are the coolest ever. Especialy this one. It comes with 4 army dudes, a 10 inch mutan T-Rex, and the coolest tank(The Iron Predator). The cannon on The Iron Predator really fires! The mutan T-Rex has light up eyes and mouth! I'm tyring to collect all the sets. It isn't very easy. So far I have The Iron Predator, Urban Avenger, and The Street Sprinter.

I had sent my husband and our 5 year old son out to buy groceries at one of the super stores the other night and they came home with this. Apparently they got lost looking for the meat department and ended up in the toy department instead, what a shocker right? Since the container clearly stated for ages 7+ I wasn't exactly thrilled that my husband agreed to buy it. There were so many little pieces that my husband had to help our son put it together. Once it was finished two things ran through my mind. First I didn't think our son would be able to fix it if it fell apart, which it will, a lot, if played with roughly. Second there is a black zip tie like thing that has to go into the back part of the spider then has to be pulled out rather quickly in order to make the spinner on it's back fly off properly and I didn't my son would be able to do this without help or would end up getting so frustrated that he would just ditch the toy. However to my amazement I was wrong, he has been able to fix it each time something has fallen off and he has been able to work the launcher without any problems. I plan to purchase more in the future since he has enjoyed this one so much. However, if you hate toys with little pieces then this isn't the toy for you. If your kids aren't good about keeping toys and their accessories together then this toy isn't for you either because once you lose the black zip tie thing you can't launch the discs. As for the age recommendation I really don't think a 7 year old could put this together his or her self, it is a bit complicated but again I could be proven wrong.

I have resisted buying these because they seemed so cheap...also the usual question we parents always ask ourselves..."What are they going to do with them?"
My son received his first bionicle from a friend on his ninth birthday...it was cleverly the "bow" on a birthday present. I now regret overlooking this wonderful line of "lego's" for so long! My boys love these! They have the best time building them and an even better time playing with them.

They are priced reasonably so you can always pick-up one as a treat during trips out "shopping". If you encourage your children to "save-up" for some of their "wants", the cost of these is low enough that it doesn't take them months and months to realize their goal.

Please do not make the same mistake I made and misjudge these toys. You will be denying your child a great experience.
Although the manufacturer suggests ages 7 and up, I do not feel a child younger than 8 or 9 would be able to independently put this toy together. My 7 year old needs some help putting these together, but he loves to try all by himself. That is the point of Lego's, to construct and play. The primary benefit, in my opinion, is the satisfaction of "doing it" yourself!

A definate A+ for our boys!

I haven't owned a decent Lego set in years. But with the growing popularity of the Bionicle line, I decided to pick this one up (for some reason, I've always liked the green ones). Speaking of which, for reasons that are beyond me, this Visorak (along with the Suukorak) is priced slightly higher than the others, even when they're on sale. Still, a bargin's a bargin, right?

On to the review. I was able to build my Keelerak with no problem, in less than a half hour. When I was done, it left out 2 spare parts that you don't really need, and an extra rubber band. Also, the head is prone to flipping over. But by pressing down on it, you can keep the head in place and close the Keelerak's pincers.

Being my first Lego set with legs and joints, I love the way you can pose this thing. Plus, you can fold the legs under the body and store the toy in its canister, nice! But the parts holding the front legs together are kinda loose. The hind legs are better.

Finally, the Bionicles' coolest feature is also where my biggest problem with the toy lies. It's understandable, since the spinner launcher is made up of just 3 parts. The spinners spin across the floor one minute and fly up a short distance the next. I guess this takes some practice. On the plus side, you can shoot the spinners at a longer distance by raising the head.

While it didn't exceed all my expectations, this is a great toy for Lego fans, young and old. I just might get another Visorak to crawl around my house.

It has a very cool color and nice venom pinchers.Makes a great gift!

This is a great set.I first started building when i was 3.The robo platoon models are pretty flexible but they stay together easily altough sometimes the legs fall off but thats not so bad because they can be put on so easily.You can build around 6 models with this set.I bought this set almost the first day it came out on december 10th.
