Not perfect but not bad
Well this set would be an ARC-170 fighter. It has a sleek design and cool looking figures. Is it as good as it looks? Maybe and maybe not...

This is another of the Episode 3 sets, which haven't been that great so far in my opinion. This set is a very large one and one that comes with 4 figures (3 Clone pilots and one red astromech droid). Lets talk about the set first.

ARC-170's were basic fighters in the Republic. And so they were usually cannon fodder, correct me if I'm wrong. Well I have the set and here's how I feel about it: meh. The body of the fighter is good and pretty stable.The cockpits feel weird, especially the front where there is nothing for the clone pilot to do, which is bad because he is a Clone PILOT. There are two blasters in this set, which are for playability of course. Not for being movie accurate I think. The wings are, let's face it, FLIMSY. They break extremely easy. I suggest reinforcing them, big time.

The clone pilots are cool, I love the awesome details. The astromech is the same as in earlier/older sets but hey, most fighters need em.

So is it disappointing? Not really but kinda. It's nothing spectacular and if I wanted 3 clone pilots, I would buy three V-wings. Buy it if you want it. I don't find the price to be attractive, but that's me.

Fulfilled my expectation
I found that lego has fulfilled my expectation and look forward for any special deal on Lego.

AWESOME and fun to build
It took a couple of days to build for a 7 year old but he loves it. It took 10 minutes to tear it apart :)

    He isn't quite as great as the box picture, but he's still fun...
    Ok, I thought that the light in the eyes would be powerful enough to fill up the entire eye sockets like my other Piraka. To no avail. They kind of look like little lights inside big, black, buggy eyes. And his buzzsaw/drill tool? The buzzsaw kinda looks like a flower... At least this guy's better than Hakaan and Avak!! Those two are terrible looking! And Reidak's fun, too. Basically, I have another review that pretty much sums up all the Piraka. Go to Zaktan, and then go to the review that says "Zaktan Reciew and other things". That's mine. Read it. It's obviously better than this one. Ok, OK. Thank you, thank you very much...

    the tracer
    REIDAK is AWSOME the lite up eyes look COOL on him the tool is AWSOME launcher IS AWSOME but the spines are.....eh oh well BUY HIM

    Best Toy Ever!
    The Piraka are going to be some of the best bionicle sets ever IMO! With their light- up eyes and their glowing teeth and the totally awsome Zamor launchers!

    Not worth it
    I wish I hadn't paid the money for this one. It only works in certain directions, its more of a pain than it is fun. I don't recommend adding it to your collection. There are plenty of other FUN accessories that you could buy instead.

    Not the most impressive Geotrax piece.
    My kids and I were pretty excited about this addition to the Geotrax set, at Christmas. It turns out, it's pretty frustrating.

    Like other reviewers have said, the turntable doesn't work all that well with multiple car trains. Then, when it's set for the train to drive on through without stopping, the trains sometimes get hung up on the "climbing" mechanism.

    This particular addition takes up ALOT of space. While it's still connected to our geotrax set, I'm just not impressed with it's function. We have lots of other sets that are much better additions. This one just frustrated my kids, with not being able to turn around once in the "stall".

    Switch station
    Yet again, we love Geo Trax, they are one toy we do not spending money on. They grow with your child, are nearly indestructible, and so much fun for the whole family....We couldn't be more pleased. This little switch station is cute...the train wash is a much liked little feature. Only catch....when the trains go into the little stations...you have to pick them up and turn them around to face them the right way.....No biggie.

      This toy destroys intestines to the point of a painful death.
      The magnets are so powerful that they are destroying the intestines of children, resulting in a painful death. FINALLY, a recall is underway, thanks to KOMO TV in Seattle.

      Glow in the dark plastic is shoddy - stick to other colors
      There is no doubt that Magnetix are a great toy. And you can never go wrong with glow in the dark - or can you? The plastic used in these Magnetix is terrible. They develop cracks at the end that allow the magnets to pop out. I had to glue one back together right out of the box. At least 7 more pieces have failed after just 2 weeks (and many more have visible cracks). This product has terrible quality! We have several other sets in other colors and haven't lost a single piece to this problem. Stay away from the glow in the dark set!

      cool,expensive,and poor quality
      they are an awsome idea, but they cost to much,but they are also extremely poor in quality.My son keeps complaining that the magnets fall off.

      fun and versatile
      My son (9 years old) loves Legos, but often he'll build the model once and then it disappears into the lego box, which is fine, because he's always using the pieces from the models for other things, but with this one I'm amazed at how long he's kept most of it together. He's made all of the different models in the instruction book, and he loves modifying the sub endlessly. This has been one of the best kits we've bought.

      This submarine is really cool!!!
      There are really cool parts in this lego set. If you like lego a lot and collect it, you should definately buy this. It is really cool. It's nice that it's my favorite color: yellow. And you can build submersibles and underwater houses with it. I like it a lot, and I think you will too!

        LEGOvikingsboat
        on the boat i like the fire and stuff but the dragon is not very frighting. but the boat is small and in my whole life is that the toys are more challngeing and hard but its not all that hard and the dragon needs more things on it and it looks like the face is dumb to me :) (and i mean it) so please change
        it!!!

        Awesome set for Lego or Dragon Fans!
        This set is awesome! I'm 14 years old and I have to admit, this set is totally cool. The Dragon it comes with is past poseable. The Catuplat was a little confusing to build at first, but the second time around it was easy. The Dragon is also easy. The catuplat can fire the same rockets as the Fire Hammer (Dinoattack - Lego) and they shoot about 2 to 3 feet. Don't fire at eyes, it hurts (trust me). I love this set and will be buying another along with the Sea Serpent one and Fortess one. I'd recommend this to any Lego or Dragon fan. If your buying this, you may also want to buy the Boat VS. The Wyvern Dragon, and the warrior VS. the Fenris Wolf!

        AWESOME
        I got this in the mail the other day, it came really fast for standerd shipping. The lego is awesome the dragon can move all around and looks sweet. The catapult is cool it shoots pretty far. The minifigures are reall cool their gear look old and worn like a real viking helmet. It comes with yellolw gems too. I guess they weren't supposed to come out here, only in England. Overal the thing is awesom loads of fun. I would recomend it for any lego fan.
