Random set of the day: White Flyer
Posted by Huwbot,
Today's random set is 3871 White Flyer, released during 2007. It's one of 18 Exo-Force sets produced that year. It contains 21 pieces and 1 minifig.
It's owned by 208 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $18.00, or eBay.

Do you even lift bro?
Should have been called Privileged Flyer
Getting Dancing with the Stars vibes.
I’m calling shenanigans on this whole “Flyer” thing. I see legs. I see giant cannons for arms. I see no sign of wings, rockets, propellers, or even a pogo stick with which to defy gravity.
This gives me “little kid dressing up as Optimus Prime” vibes.
Never got Exo-Force.
Yeah, this is less of a jet-suit, and more like stilts with a pair of gigantic hand-held cannons.

Perhaps cannon fire from those arms acts as a workable alternative to the infamous rocket jump?
Built by Orville and Wilbur White, I presume.
And that was the last time HaYaTo bought his mech off Temu

Their first flight was at Doggyhawk.
Exo-Force gave us a great minifigure hair piece. Before then, there were very few if any messy hair styles particularly in unnatural hair colours. I used one for the orc witch in my display collection: https://brickshelf.com/gallery/AmperZand/Fantasy/orc_king_army_6.jpg
@Spritetoggle:
If that’s true, then they work lobster-style. You can walk forward, but the cannon-jump only works on the retreat.
@Zander:
I mean, it was great for anyone who wanted to MOC a lettuce farm, but both looked ridiculous. The lettuce head wasn’t nearly as bad as the fern head, but even the hair elements know they don’t belong on minifigs, as evidenced by how easy it is to knock them loose.
A great way to get th excellent exo force minifigs was to get these small sets that came with batteries as a bonus.
Ha-ya-to in particular has the best head as he's the only one wo doesn't grit his teeth in ~constipation~ I mean anger.
This style of micro suit wasn't the greatest, but not bad for the time. I always imagined the flight suit costume he's wearing acting as power armor on its own, interconnecting to the limb 'add-ons'. The legs are just for walking and stability when firing the cannon-booster units on the hands.

Lovely I just use the green one as lettuce
@Zander: I regret not having gotten 8106 when I saw it on clearance at KMart once. For one thing, Ha-Ya-To's hair would be great for Chrono from Chrono Trigger.

"on the eleventh day of Brickmas, Huwbot gave to us...
an anime-style deathtrap,
inexplicable product placement,
a literal Microfighter,
ex-ca-vator-a-digging,
a mobile oil derrick,
a sci-fi Tonka truck,
ONE DOZEN ROAD SIGNS!
another box of bricks,
an extra from Snow White,
a build-your-own-team kit,
and a Town Jr. Space Train!
"
I want to watch the whole season of anime Deathtrap!
They deleted my comment :skull: Site mods can't take a joke FR
I still remain apathetic towards Exo-Force
