Vader Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 The only good thing is that theirs plenty to go on sell :-D :-D
theoryzero Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 I have updated the folder with pics of the Walker per request. TZ
ApophisV Posted December 9, 2004 Author Posted December 9, 2004 I still don't like the mecha, but the speeder (?) looks fine.... :/ oh, and thanks for the pics.... *satis*
theoryzero Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 I would call it a boat, the picture on the back of the box shows it on water. By the way, has anyone seen that minifig head in any other set? I am wondering if the checkered portion of the hair is normal. TZ
Precious Jazz Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Thanks for the pics Theoryzero. I like the speeder version of the set but the walker isn't all that appealing.
Jipay Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Thanks for the pics Theoryzero. I like the speeder version of the set but the walker isn't all that appealing. Damn, it's the opposite for me :)
Vader Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 A load of spare bricks -no ideas- throw them all together and what do you get??? the mecca:(
Orlego Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 A load of spare bricks -no ideas- throw them all together and what do you get??? the mecca:( A load of spare bricks -no ideas- throw them all together and what do you get??? NEW ALPHA TEAM SETS!!! :D ;)
Vader Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Well at least in the case of the mecca, i do like the scorpion though and ill probably get it.
Orlego Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Yeah the scorpion is cool, just not "Alpha Team"
David85 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 The Scorpion is very cool, but Alpha Team is dead. The Scorpoin Orb Launcher is advertised in this weeks Toys Aren't Us ad, it's $20, they didn't mess up the prices like they normally do.
David85 Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Alpha Team should have beenkept as a spy line, the new sets are the worse thing, but they don't go with Alpha Team. But at least they come in cool blues. :)
Vader Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Its always nice to have parts in a wide range of colors :) now if only we could get more parts in purple.
Orlego Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 The dark purple is very cool. I would love to build an Atlantic Coast Line train out of them.
medib Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I agree with a lot of sentiments here. I only liked Alpha Team in its first line-up. Alpha Team vers. 2 (the underwater) and this current version, 3 (frozen tundra) should have not been made. Unfortunately, along with (world) City and KK2, it is deemed a "core" line. I would not be surprised if we see more Alpha Team in 2006. *sick* I think the "transforming" aspect of the sets are to allow more appeal to youngsters and give them additional playability options. Unfortunately the majority of youngsters favor Bionicles and more recently KK2 line-up, at least in my area. I decided I won't get any of the Alphateam sets that came out this summer (2004), but I think the Scorpion is too nice to pass up, even if it has some suspect construction techniques. So I decided to order it from Bricklink at 20% off ($16 US off Bartering the Brick). Just my opinions... :^D Ben

They are trying to cash in on the success of Bionicle with the Knight figures. At my store the Knights sell very well but Bionicles still outsell them 5 to 1.
Vader Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I just cant see what the appeal with Bionicle is, but if lego are making money then i guess theres going to be lots more sets in the future. >:( The transforming aspect is a good idea, but it only works when time is taken to get it right. However from the looks of the mecca set it looks rushed to me. :(

The new Alpha Team line does look very rushed.
