Tripoddddd

Probably the third best set in the theme, and is a really good set. This is the first AC set I bought, pretty much the day they came out.

The Box[edit | edit source]

Really noice (yes, noice) green affect, and lots of funny signs in the background.

Figures[edit | edit source]

2½ figs

Alien Trooper

Nice minifigure, great prints, and an awesome head mold. Comes with a gun this time (hooooooray!).

Business dude

Nice figure, can't tell you about the face (didn't get the set with it), nice suit, can easily be used in yellow and skin colour worlds. Chinese plastic legs, though, they are far too shiny for ABS plastic.

Alien Clinger

I LOVE ALIEN CLINGERS! Best. Animal. Ever. I just LOVE it. Great mold, and awesomely fits onto heads, to suck their brains - like zombies.

The Set[edit | edit source]

Doesn't include an ADU - good idea, really, this is more of a set based, I'd say - before the ADU was formed.

Escape Pod/Containment area

Looks pretty cool, nice green cockpit screen pieces being used, looks really good. Easily can be taken out, which is nice.

Legs

Awesome part of the build, really nice technique and an awesome laser gun.

Pod

Cool little area, nice build, really, looks great when finished.

Overall[edit | edit source]

Quick review today, but there is not much to it. Great price - $27, and later only $15. I would have bought two, but didn't have enough for a second at the time. Only negative is that the laser falls of easily, and the containment pod rattles too much.
