I purchased 2 each of 4915, 4916, 4917, and 4918 as well as 2 extra 4916. The price tag on these sets is affordable and it gives me a nice base to experiment from... but I had the same problem rokendo mentions. There aren't enough key pieces. What are key pieces? Joints. I don't mean a specific piece, although I can think of a few. The hardest part to build for these very small mechs is shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. These have direction changes (and if you are lucky, range of motion) that are challenging for LEGO bricks. A listing of key joint pieces would be very helpful. In fact, after a fair amount of research, all LEGO bricks for Mechaton break down into two categories - frame and dressing. Joints are the essential component of the frame. For example, the shoulder and hip assemblies of these and these are crucial parts for pleasing designs. What are these parts? Building a fleet of Mechaton war machines is going to depend on getting large numbers of these specific parts. |
