Looks pretty cool to me, and $80 isn't that bad for 750+ piece Lego... I know I know I am an adult and should play with toys but lego cars are cool

Nice. My 15 year old would love that. He's a huge Lego fan.

Cool

My cousins would love that too!

Meh, I always thought sets like that took the fun out of Legos. I mean, you build it and you're done. Most of the parts can't be used for anything else. I was always a big fan of designing stuff myself.

Legos are probably the coolest toys ever created

Are there any Matrix themed lego sets?

 

[maziwanka]

that is pretty cool.

 

[iamwiz82]

Anyone get this yet? I'm reeeeeally tempted.

I agree with you. When I was 8-9 years old (that was...awhile ago...) there was nothing more fun than taking my 500-piece Lego set and making planes, robots, boats that didn't float in the tub... etc.

After Lego, I was obsessed with this plastic parts "erector set."

I don't remember the name. It had a plastic base and all the "girders" were about the diameter of a pencil, about 3" long and they fit together at the ends.

You made the skeleton of your building that way. The set had these plastic "windows" that were the size/thickness of baseball cards and you applied those to your skeleton. I wish I knew what the name of that set was!

$80 is a ripoff for a 700 piece model.

I remember the days when $60 gets you a 1500 piece Model Team uber model.

I gave my younger cousing that set a few years ago christmas because I wanted to put it together.

May I suggest, instead, going all out and buying one or two of these instead? Thats a thing that I can still enjoy, and i'm 18 years old. It completely rocks. Buy a bunch of extra motors, gears, peices, though. between ages 5 and 12, basically all my birthday and christmas gifts were the technical lego sets, I've got quite a collection. You can build all sorts of awesome stuff with it.

LEGO>any other toy.


By the way, this particular set is not a ripoff. Those are great wheels, you get some suspension gear, some small, hard to find, and very useful mechanical peices. The only worthless peices in the set are the body peices, everything else is standard.
