“Blaster is a larger Throwbot compared to the rest, he came in a box set rather than the small carrying cases that the other Throwbots possessed. His build is also unique among them in that you are building up a lot more comparatively to the other Throwbots as well. However... More bigger in this case doesn't mean better.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The LEGO Throwbots #8523 Blaster set offers a unique build experience, standing out with its larger size and quirky Technic elements. While the main model may lack aesthetic appeal and isn't the most enjoyable for play, it serves as an excellent source of parts for creative custom builds, especially with its dual disc-flinging arms.”
