“This version just doesn't do it for me like the last two. I don't think he's a bad set, he's certainly better than Nathan and maybe Mark too. And he's certainly balanced better color wise than Voltixx. I guess in the long run it depends on whether or not you want them all,... More or if you want the orange for something, or if he's your favorite tech-head.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“Nex from the Hero Factory Breakout series offers vibrant orange and white colors, a nicely updated helmet, and great articulation. While the set includes clever details like a hose and system parts, the laser cutter arm feels awkward, and the lack of new orange shells limits its appeal.”
