Uplink is one of several micro battle machines from the new Exo-Force line. While this set has that Japanese anime look and decent gimmicks like the laser cannon and missiles, its weakest "link" is in its durability. If you want to beat this thing in a fight, aim for the arms; they sag down so much, that this reviewer had to buy another LEGO set to fix them. The legs, with joints that look like the gears of a pocketwatch, are rigid and may frustrate your little tyke. But they last and allow for a vast array of poses. While stickers are included for Uplink, its most animeish feature is the mini-figure. While it's pretty standard, different faces are painted on both sides of the head, which is topped with a set of day-glow hair. So Uplink is a nifty toy that should keep your kid busy for a while. But remember-there's more fun in numbers.

Uplink is one of the best exo force sets because he doesen't have a wire that that gets in his way.He stays together pretty well to.

This set is great! I got it as a birthday present from my best friend. It includes sir Rascus on his horse and two shadow knights on their battle wagon. On the wagon is a catapult that launches "hot rocks". It is fun to play with and would probably be better if I had another Knights Kingdom Lego set. Anyways, I recommand this set and that's why I gave it five stars.

My son loved this Bionicle. It does fall apart easier than the $9 ones but it had armour and features the cheaper ones didn't have. A must have if your kids like Bionicle. About the same size as the other ones - not sure why it is so much more expensive though !

My son is only 4 and a half. Of course he needs a lot of help to build this toy, but we enjoy doing it together. This particular model took me almost 90 minutes to build. When it is finished it is strong enough to play with it and a young kid can easily put it back together if a limb falls apart. I think it is very original and entertaining for both of us.

Keetongu is my second favorite 2005 set! he is incledibly posable! Buy this set and it will imediately be your favorite!

This Bionicle Visorak series stands among the best ideas Lego has ever pursued. It's clever, inventive, and just plain fun!

I haven't kept up with the Bionicle story over the years. I always just liked the action figures. The Bohrok were very cool, as were the Rahkshi. I began to lose interest in Bionicle when the Vahki came on the scene, but I still collected a few of them. As far as I can tell, the dynamic of Bionicle stories is usually the same. The heroic, robotic Toa versus a horde of monsters. That's pretty much what's going on here.

The Visorak are cute four-legged monsters with large pincers. There are nine of them here, and they are fighting against the six elemental Toa (humanoid robots). It should be noted that the Toa figures are not posable like other Lego minifigs. They're more like mini figurines. Each guy stands in his own heroic pose, and each guy carries his own unique silver weapon. There are spears, halberds, and battering rams. I'll forgive the lack of posability here because the rest of this set is so cool.

There are six different Visoraks (they have different styles of pincers). This set comes with nine of them (did I get an extra one by mistake? Other sets come with eight). Three of the cute little monsters are duplicates. They're made of semi-flexible plastic. You can push down on a monster's back and spring him into battle to knock down the robots. Very cool. The Visorak also glow in the dark. Both the Toa and Visorak figures have some great textured detail, and the Visorak have some very nice color detail as well.

We also get a larger Visorak who I haven't seen before. He has no pincers like his smaller buddies. Just small tusks like an elephant. Like the other Visoraks, he's a four-legged monster. He's constructed from Technic Bionicle parts. Pushing down on his back raises his head to reveal a spring-loaded missile launcher with soft-tip missile (it also fires the missile). Colors are dark blue, dark gray, and he has a gold head piece. This guy isn't quite as cool as the Visorak Queen from the Battle Of Metru Nui set, but he has an appealing uniqueness.

The backdrop for our frenzied melee between monsters and robots is a tall tower with a big black mask for a front gateway. Above the entrance to the tower is a grated window that can be flipped open to reveal a spring-loaded missile launcher on a turntable. This one fires a silver soft-tipped missile. The launcher can turn left and right, raise and lower to aim, and it can also move back and forth on rails. High atop the tower is a target for our large Visorak to aim at in the hopes of knocking it over. The tower also has opening doors at ground level, and a manually operated catapult that can launch a flaming boulder. The finishing touch is some vines that our little monsters can use to scale the walls. The little Visoraks can be snapped firmly onto a vine.

Going into the construction of the tower are mostly regular Lego pieces, with just a few Technic parts used for the catapult. Colors are primarily dark gray and black. The tower also has ornamental blades in silver to spruce up the look, a Toa mask, some torches, some really nice flame pyres, and we get decorative decals for the opening doors and mask gateway. This set has a lot of tiny white horn/spikes. I found the construction here to be easy enough. Nothing too challenging. The finished model is sturdy and easily portable.

This set isn't quite as action packed as other Bionicle Visorak playsets, but it still has that Visorak charm. An added plus is that the tower can be connected to Metru Nui. I have to say, all of the sets in this series are great! This is the kind of thing I like the most. Lots of guys with cool weapons, lots of cute little monsters, and a really nice techno-stronghold with cool action features so I can stage an epic battle. My verdict: thumbs up!

This is one of the last 2005 bionicle sets. I have it, and I think it is really fun. I had fun building it, and I have fun playing with it. It comes with 2 pieces where if you press a button, another piece shoots out. It comes with a bunch of mini figures. This would be a great addition to any Bionicle fan's collection.

This Lego product seems to be for display only. Unless you glue each piece together, we have been constantly reassembling this item everytime our kid tries to play with it. It is also top heavy making it difficult to stand by itself especially when playing. Disappointed in Lego with this one. Compared to others like Bionicle, this one is not for play.

The Grand Titan, in my opinion, is the best among the 4 main Exo-Force mechs. It is pretty durable, aside from the two pieces above the arms, which come loose quite easily. This, however, is not a problem, because each is held on tight by a missile. The gattling gun rotates, and the light cord adds to the effect, with light coming through the gun. The pincer claws open and close, and they rotate, as well. My only gripe is that the armsdo not pose well at the top joint. You can put it in a multitude of positions, and it overall just flatout looks cool. I give it a 5/5.

The Grand Titan is the best Lego set! Its cockpit opens and closes. It has a light brick and cable behind the pilot that connects to the rotating laser cannon. It also has a pincer sword and rockets. The pincer sword opens and closes. Everything moves around. I RECOMMEND YOU BUY THIS LEGO SET!!!!!!!!!!

i enjoy this set because i feel that it is much different than anything lego has ever put into being. i like how they fused the technic peices, and the regular legos. i do wish that they put more detail on the inside.

It took my son (age 10) most of the day to assemble the fort, but boy was it worth it!! He loves it and wants to get the other sets in the series.

This set is composed of five main sub assemblies and the dragon, and should take 4 hours (or more) to complete. It comes with six mini-figures and has a number of operational catapults, an inner keep, and a main gate.

LEGO's integration of Technic parts has never been better than in the last few years, and like all of their recent sets, the number one feeling one gets is one of extreme cleverness. (At one point building this set I said aloud "this is exactly what the Vikings would have done if they had had Technic parts back then.")

As concerns the rest of this series, the ship is similarly awe inspiring and the boat, catapult, and wolf sets make excellent additions to the battlefield.

The only thing one could wish for is an enemy series to pit the Vikings against. Though all of the mythical creatures are well designed and look impressive, it would be nice to array the Viking sets (boats especially) against a competing force, and none of the current sets are a good match.
