Mega Bloks - Neo Shifters Robot -Scar Dorn -Green-Templar Warrior

This is a brand new series from Mega-Blocks that hopefully will continue to expand. These construction toys are very cool but just a little unique. My nine year old son has his own way of putting it: "It's what you'd get if a Transformer married a Bionicle, this would be their baby." and the things do look a whole lot like the Bioncle toys. My son has no problem in putting these things together. he's been slapping together Transformers and all kind of Lego kits since he was 4. He did have to really strain to get the arm and leg joints on. they give a definite sanp sound when they lock in. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get them apart. One note: There's a small robot that houses inside the chest of the bigger robot and he is very tiny. when my son went to put the small one together, the little nub part that fits the head to the body snapped right off. I tried to crazy Glue it back on but to no avail. I've written to Mega-Blocks via email and hope that they will send a replacemtn part. Besides that the completed toy seems pretty sturdy to me. It stands with no problem and you can transform it into a big sphere which my son proceeded to roll down the hall like a bowling ball. There are currently four different ones to collect and my son is looking forward to getting the others. I reccommend this toy, but I'd also reccommend supervising those small parts. (Keep them away from small children.)

My 10 year old son loves this toy. If your child likes Bionicles, he will like Neo Shifters. However, the leg broke off of the microfigure (that fits inside ScarDorns chest) within the first week.
