• A rather silly set

    Written by (Unspecified) in Hong Kong,

    Yes, I am 48 and should not have been buying a 4-Junior set, but even 4-Junior, here are the issues that i think the set is silly about.

    1. The ramp. Don't think anybody, junior or otherwise, will, or can, utilize the ramp for "jumping" by any vehicles, particularly the two "motorcycles" in the set with less than stable mechanisms.

    2A. The two "motorcycles". They cannot stand on thier own, and there is no place where you can build on to help them stand except some "heavy duty" (for a junior set) Technic pieces.

    2B. The two "motorcycles". They do not have a handle bar. Even there is no sterring mechanism, it is unthinkable that a motorcycle could have no handle bar. For the two motorcycles in the set, this results in the minifigs having to keep leaning forward, but without anything to hold on to, to get a better fit.

    3A. The helicopter. Don't think giving Spidey a seat will cost Lego, or the buyers, too much. I pity Spidey's bottoms.

    3B. The helicopter. This is not the only set, junior or otherwise, that Lego puts a "lift all the way and in the roter's way" canopy to a helicopter.

    The only good thing is that I got a set with one helicopter, two motorcycles and three minifigs for only HK$100, which is about US$12.8, from Yahoo HK.

  • lame

    Written by (Unspecified) in United States,

    like the title says, just plain lame. i picked this up at a garage sale for 25 cents. they say it's for little kids, but my little cousin started playing with regular legos at age 2. no exaggeration. i helped him build lego ships at age 2. he didn't get any huge sets then, but for his fourth birthday, got the star destroyer. his dad did do alot of the building for him, but i think lego is underestimating younger kids with this set. the minifigs aren't mini, and are not the real lego minifigs. the bikes can only be used with the stupid supersized lego figures. it comes with 42 pieces, excluding doc ocks one-piece arms. the reason i did give it a 2 is because of the following: it comes with an engine, 4 red light cylinders, a chain, a ramp, and that's it.

    I wish I could rate this -5000

    Written by (TFOL , gold-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I got this set years ago at christmas event where you get a free toy, I asked for a spider-man set but when I opend the wrapping, I almost had a heart attack. Because this set is..TERRIBLE! The Copter has no seat (sorry spiderman) The motorbikes look stupid and the Lame oversized minifigs are Lame!

    Pros

    • A few good pieces

    Cons

    • Awful oversized minifigures
    • Copter looks Dumb and has no seat
    • Motor bikes are Pathetic and look nothing like "Real Motorbikes" and they can't even stay up on their own

    Even though I got this free, I still feel "Jipped". Do NOT BUY THIS SET you will regret it instantly. 4juiniors has been long gone, lets hope it stays that way -Thanks for reading
