Editorial Review: Product Description: Pit humans vs. the robots in a battle of heroic proportions that you build!
Safety warning: This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard for young children. Amazon.com Review: In the Exo-Force storyline, humans are at war against robots that have malfunctioned and are now bent on total domination. The Gate Assault set comes with 402 pieces and a full-color, illustrated instruction booklet that diagrams construction of the robot attack tank in 13 steps, robot mech in 15 steps, the human mech in 16 steps, and the gate defenses in 20 steps with several ministeps along the way. The instructions also show images, though not diagrams, of alternate models Swift fighter and Blockade Bulldozer. This set comes with two human pilot minifigs and two Devastator robot pilot minifigs. Humans have spiky, anime-style hair that cover the back of their head and hides the fact that the head parts have two expressions to choose from: angry and berserk. Inside the box you'll find four gate pieces, four numbered part bags, sheet of 37 decals, and the instruction booklet. Numbered parts bags make it easier to build the set in stages since the numbers correspond to discreet sections of the building diagrams. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. Parents should note that a blunt, rubber, spring-loaded missile shoots about five feet from the completed model. It's not enough to do anything but pretend damage, but in the wrong hands, it could be used to make a younger sibling cry. --Porter B. Hall Average Rating:
 Rating: - Nice set, boring namePros: + Comes with 2 small mechs; one for each side (human and robot) + 5 minifigs in a set that's less than $30! + Really great alternate models (pseudo-instructions on the Lego website) Cons: - mechs are fairly similar to the standalone Uplink and Sentry (which don't have as many articulation points as the larger models) - Minifig hair (rubber/plastic anime style hair) doesn't stay on the head very well Overall: + Great "scenario" pack ...

Rating: - nice but not sturdyThis Lego has some neat components to it, but when trying to carry it from place to place, it tends to break up. Rating:  - Don't let the robots through the gate!Aside Bionicle, I haven't purchased any LEGOs in quite some time-- until EXO Force. The manga look at overall theme appeals to me. The Gate Assault here was my 8th and final EXO Force buy, completing the line until July. Aside the Sonic Phantom, this set is probably a resident shelf warmer at your local TRU. The Gate Assault has 3 mobiles-- a land vehicle for the robots, a humanoid EXO mecha for the robots, an "air" humanoid EXO mecha for the humans, and then a gate to prevent the robots ... Read More Rating: - Well, you gotta get other stuff, too...Ok, this set rocks. But only because I bought two other Exo-Force sets too. If I did not have the other sets, I'd give this two stars. I'd recommend, for the two ther sets you have to buy, the Stealth Hunter and the Fire Vulture. They're pretty cool, especially the Stealth Hunter. Once that set comes out on Amazon, you will see my review for it. |
