Sonic PhantomBuy It Now! = Durability = Fun = Educational = Overall Not as durable as you want...., April 4, 2006 Reviewer:MomX5 (SLC, UT) - I'm Toysrus's new critic and my (not real) name is D.L.Smith (no I didnt' pick the name Mom X5, that is my mom's review name) . I used to collect LEGO movie sets like Spiderman and Harry Potter. Now I just use those sets to make new things like forts , but occasionally I'll buy sets that have ships and tanks. This is why I like stuff like LEGO Vikings, Knights Kingdom, and Dino Attack to add cool stuff to my forts. Anyways, that is why I first decided to buy LEGO EXO Force.I thought the cool weapons and robot fighters would make a neat addition to my expanding collection, so I bought two sets so far: this product and the Fire Vulture. I must say that the Sonic Phantom hasn't impressed me much. You will see why. Durability. That is the key word that LEGO's need to have, and I must admit this is not a very well put toy. Small parts would snap off (after it was done) and it would be annoying to keep putting them on. The one part that snapped off the most would be the laser canon. The laser cannon was pretty annoying and cramped in a narrow space so so you couldn't keep it at a decent angle. Also, the laser canon had a very pathetic beam. I turned off all the lights and put my hand in fromt of it and it didn't shine my hand. I would be willing to pay a few extra dollars for LEGO to make it at least as strong as a laser pointer key chain. If you can't stand badly-put-togheter toys then I do not reccomend buying this toy for all the annoying parts that never seem to stop falling off. Even though this toy is not too durable, it can still be fun to run around with in your hand like a toy airplane. It has a great place to hold on to to and shoot with the missile( shoots about 7 ft.), which is why I would give the toy 2 and a half stars if Toysrus.com would let you. JUST MAKE SURE NOT TO DROP IT,TRUST ME. The set comes with a small robot to operate the set, nothing special about him. All in all, this toy is fun if you just like to run around with toys shooting stuff. Thank you for taking your time to read my review. Manufacturer Description This robot battle machine is equipped with some serious weapons! Powered by four nuclear engines, the Sonic Phantom is perfect at making quick, dangerous air raids against the EXO-FORCE. Watch out for the laser canon, missile launcher and rotating laser guns! Age 7-12. 215 pieces. |
