“Honestly, I cannot wholly recommend this set if you already have the pieces to build Skirmix from other sets. Granted, he is fun to play with, but as one of the bigger sets, I was half expecting something different, especially since he is toted under the label "Special... More Edition." What makes them so special anyway that they could not just be released at any store that sells BIONICLE sets?”

“Overall Fero and Skirmix is a fairly decent set but I can't fully recommend it to you, sure it is a good set but it isn't fantastic either.”

“This set is one of my favorites. Fero is one of my favorite 2009 characters story-wise, but set-wise, he has the simple Av-Matoran/Agori build, although I like staging battles with him not riding Skirmix, with Agori or Glatorian. Skirmix however, is fun to build and has cool... More conjunctions of pieces put together, like the Av-Matoran torso with liftarms attached that go down to his lower torso.He also has Metru Nui Matoran limbs as leg supports and part of the head. These also have not been used since 2006 I believe, so this is a good way of getting some.”
