Skopio XV-1 Reviews
Eurobricks
“Not a bad set. The tracks move. Each tracked part can swivel outward and fold out to give it legs like of an insect. Comes with TWO ball shooters and one of those spiked ball shooter. The figure is totally pose able. The middle armor can move up/down, and so can the "tail"... More move up/down.”

“An absolute must get for Bionicle lovers of all ages with tons of playability, unique parts, and one of the few sets of the iron tribe. This set contains a nice 849 pieces, with the only Bionicle set bigger being 2005's Battle of Metru Nui with 858 pieces. I really hope you... More buy this set and enjoy it as much as I do.”
