“Some of the other sets may be better than Preston Stormer, but overall I think he was mostly worth it (and Hero Factory as a whole looks promising).”

“This set is a great impulse buy. Better than the Stars. Better than the Agori. Better than the Av-Matoran. Better than any impulse BIONICLE set I can think of. And, at the same price as the Toa Mata, I think these are even better than the early canister sets (excluding the... More Bohrok, MAYBE).”
