Review of 7646 ETX Alien Infiltrator

[brickbitz]

Hi all again.

Another one of todays special deliveries.

I think personally this set is great. Mars Mission is really finding it's feet.

7646 ETX Alien Infiltrator

The walker reminds me of the old Kenner CAP-2 Captivator which is good.

Thanks very much for the review brickbitz! I love this year's Mars Mission line, and though this is the weakest set, it is still a major improvement. The mech is very cool and well made, and the Commander is one of my favourite alien figs ever. The alien ship is pretty good, better than last years ones but not extremely good either, but i still like the set.

Batbrick Away!

Thanks for the sweet review, brickbitz! That really is a neat little set, that walker is fantastic, most likely the best part of the set. Though the alien craft does also look neat, and it's cool how it can fold down into aa walker. Or rather, a sentry turret, seeing as it can't really move while in that mode. Still, it's nice.

My favourite part is the mini mining robot though. So cute!

Thanks for that interesting review, brickbitz.

The alien fighter looks pretty nice, nothing special but streamlined and fast nevertheless. That transforming feature´s a nice addition for sure,

and these new flicker missile with its launch apparatus.... hmm, I hope I won´t spend quite some time in search of that little 'rocket' piece....

However, there´s still something I miss with these alien crafts.... I don´t know.... I like some more organic looking design, and they even come

in some nice and different shapes, but still.... perhaps a real space fighter just needs a solid cockpit, cool windscreens and controls to satisfy my

odd likings.

That 'exo suit' looks really good and I wonder why it´s a little underrepresented on the box art. The jet pack/space scooter´s a really good idea,

and the only thing I hate´re those darned studless technic beams.... it could look so much better with a studded version of these parts. But of

course that´s only due to my personal preferences.

Why not.... multiple reviews´re doing no harm, and it´s always interesting to see reviews with a perhaps different point of view too....

LOL your sig is awesome!

The little power suit is well done, I would like to see articulation some how jammed into the little legs though, and we all now exoforce 4 finger hands would look great on his arms.

Excellent review as usual, brickbitz.

I really love this set. The moonwalker is amazing, and the alien craft is really nice too. I might get this someday...

My first impression upon seeing this set was "no thanks", but now I'm warming up to it. Still, I'll skip it if it interferes with my Hypersonic Operations Aircraft fund. :P
