(More customer reviews)Aside Bionicle, I haven't purchased any LEGOs in quite some time-- until EXO Force. Since it's pointless to just have one, I must have them ALL. The Sonic Phantom here was my 5th EXO Force buy, one of the only sets that does not resemble humanoid armed mecha.
The "So-Pha" is fairly simple to build, but the turbines are the majority of the set itself, making it seem much larger than it really is. It has an airship-type motif with gun turrets on the left and right rear turbines, which can pivot in almost a 360 angle. The turbines can also spin, but not very well since the other parts scrape or hinder it from helicopter-like twirling. It comes with an "Iron Drone" pilot, and one of the new light bricks (red LED). It can be activated by handling the trigger "built" into the set-- which can also shoot a projectile. The whole ship kind of has a bit of a "gun" feel about it, being flown by the kid grasping it like a firearm rather than simply holding it (of course, he/she could do thast, too). It is not as interactive as the other EXO Force sets, aside these points.
As with all the EXO Force sets, it comes with a small sheet of decals, with instructyions on where to put them. Being a tad of a perfectionist, I spent a great deal of time trying to put them on flawlessly-- if you purchase this set for a little one, he or she may want your help with it. I personally like this challenge. Just don't fudge up, there are no extra decals.
Overall, the set is not bad. LEGO always gets high marks for Durability, but this set uses a few bricks in easy-to-fall-off locations. Fun? I suppose so-- your kid will want an open space to "fly" this around in. But being a few bucks more expensive than the other bipedal mecha, along with the lack of interaction that the others have make me understand why it shows disappointment for the other reviewer. It's just a nice looking LEGO airship.
