    Here's the review of Soldier's Arsenal.

    Details:
    Price: RM16.90
    Pieces: 17 (99sen/piece)
    Minifigs: 1
    Year released: 2009

    Box art:
    Front:


    Side:
    The side is different from City theme which shows you the actual size of minifig, which is show you the size of the sword.


    Back:
    No more picture at the back, instead a warning. It certainly saves LEGO packaging cost.


    Content:
    A pack of bricks, like any other impulse set and a instruction sheet.


    Instruction sheet:
    It includes some old impulse picture at the back and the new pirates set other than instructions.


    Minifigs:
    Here's the new soldier minifig. His torso are printed at the back.




    The rack:
    The rack are about the same with Knight impulse, but anyway, at least you see something rather than you see nothing. At least there are a process for you to assemble.


    Extra parts:
    You got a sword and the ranking stuff as the extra parts. Really nice for LEGO to do so as you will have extra weapon.


    Completion:
    Here's a shot of a complete set, which I quite like it compare to the other impulse.


    Pros:
    -many weapons
    -extra parts

    Cons:
    -can't think of any

    Final verdict:
    Playability: 6/10 . Nothing to play with but, still acceptable
    Design : 8/10 I like the design of the rack, pretty nice.
    Price : 8/10 The price turns out fine to me.
    Overall: 8/10 A very good set to combine with soldier's fort I would say.

    Lion-kun's guy with arsenal works well with 6241: Soldiers' Fort since it doesn't have one. =D
