July 21, 200816 yr I think the placeholder was a faux pas, but regardless, what's wrong with having multiple reviews of a set? People have differing opinions.
July 21, 200816 yr I don't care about the place holder issue, I was a little saddened when I first clicked and the review wasn't there yet, but what we should really be upset... err.. jealous over is the fact that VBBN found one in the US and the rest of us can't!
July 22, 200816 yr What an amazing set and i am now thinking about getting this baby. If i was still a kid i would be viewing pics and dreaming of this set daily until i would normally obtain it through a birthday or christmas. Well done lego and well done to VBBN (you make a great lego salesman)
July 22, 200816 yr Wow what a cool set! Great review all round VBBN! Nice features throughout the Walker. Damn if i hadn't already spent enough this year on Lego, this will probably be added to the list! Thanks again
July 22, 200816 yr Could it be that it's really big (mini-fig scaled) and walks on 4 legs? Anyway, I don't normally like it when people make a topic to say they'll review a set soon, but I'll let you off since this is one of the few Mars Mission sets I really like, and I'm glad to know somebody has the set and will be reviewing it. ~Peace well, isn't the four legged one the AT-AT? Still, a very nice set with a certain je-ne-sais-quois showing great SNOT
July 22, 200816 yr Author Okay, well, some walking pics were requested, so here you guys go! And finaly, the set on display in my Lego Room:
July 24, 200816 yr I'm getting both... I have a thing for giant mechs. Same here, but I think i'm going to have to buy this set later this year or even early next year because of the SW sets !
July 24, 200816 yr I'm getting both... I have a thing for giant mechs. I hope to too eventually, but after I have the Gunship and the other SW and MM sets I want first, I don't know how much of the green stuff I'll have left over for one or more of the giant mechs. But come to think of it, I think it would be ultra-cool to see those two face off each other...

But come to think of it, I think it would be ultra-cool to see those two face off each other... That drill will totally rip through the AT AT's armor! Actually, it would be pretty sweet! DSR
July 24, 200816 yr It's definitely the best Mars Mission set. This is the only set of that theme that I'd consider getting. Thanks for the review!
July 24, 200816 yr Where did the reviewer find it, anyway? I've looked around and I haven't seen it anywhere.
July 24, 200816 yr Author Where did the reviewer find it, anyway? I've looked around and I haven't seen it anywhere. Toys R Us. It's exclusive to the store. However, my TRU usualy get sets faster than most.
July 25, 200816 yr If Toys R Us has it, I would think that the LEGO stores would have it, and I checked mine...
July 25, 200816 yr If Toys R Us has it, I would think that the LEGO stores would have it, and I checked mine... Not so. Here in Minnesota TRU has the Volcano Base and Peril in Peru and the Lego Imagination Center at the Mall of America has none of the limited edition sets. The limited editions do tend to show up at TRU first if the TRU exclusives... Lego Store does generally beat the other retailers though. No Ultra-Drill Walker in MN yet.
July 26, 200816 yr Author Maybe that's why Toys R Us is always a dollar or two more expensive. =/ Well, they were spot on with this set, with a price sticker of $69.99.
July 27, 200816 yr You know what is really stupid about Mars Mission?? Lets think ummmm the aliens have NO chance of winning no matter what The humans get all the huge amazing sets where the aliens get the same ships that all seem to look alike If TLC actually put some thought into alien vehicles i would actually consider buying some MM sets
July 27, 200816 yr The human vehicles really aren't that heavily armed for the most part... and when the human sets are so good, why should the aliens bother you?
July 27, 200816 yr Because its just stupid on the lack of creativity put into the alien vehicles compared to the humans It makes it so stupid All around the world, kids are probably like "HERE COMES THE ULTRA DRILL WALKER!!!!! And here comes the unnamed alien vehicle! GO DRILL WALKER GO! DEPLOY THE SHIP! SHOOT THE ALIENS WITH IT AND THEN DIG OUT THE CRYSTALS! THE MISSION WAS A SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!
