    Details:
    Price: RM50
    Pieces: 131 (around 38sen/piece)
    Minifigs: 1
    Year released: 2008

    First time review used set.  Tongue

    Box art:



    Content:
    The set comes with two packet of bricks (one bigger and one small) and with two instruction book.  No picture though.  Tongue

    Instruction books:
    The instruction book include brick checklist, shows the function of the set, a small poster, the combine model of this set and Dark Panther (#8115) and advertisement of other set from Exo-Force theme that is release the same time.

    Sticker sheet:
    The sticker do comes with number, maybe is easier for them to give instruction in applying the sticker.

    Minifig:
    There's only one minifig included in this set, which is the grey drone. They call it drone before this and suddenly turn into some robot pilot. One good thing is that it has eyes.


    Battle Arachnoid
    After they fail in the second release of Exo-Force (yes, is really bad in term of design for the good guys), they finally manage to get the thing right again in the third release and I like them very much.



    Here's a picture with a drone piloting it.

    Here's are some detail at the front and the cockpit which can turn into dome small air craft:

    Below are pictures where the cockpit is detach from the arachnoid body, take this part one outta three:

    Here's what left after the cockpit has been detached, so I guess is part two outta three:

    And finally, the mini robot with the armor piercing fang, Exo-force version of Buzz Droid, which I think is part three outta three:
    Also given a skeleton head in a glass that are attached below the cockpit, I wonder what's the use of it. I suppose the mini robot is powered by human skulls. The theme is getting more and more violence and extreme.

    Extra parts:
    We do get a lot of extra parts from this set considering the size of the set which is so called small by me.

    Completion:
    Although this is a great set, one flaw here is that, since whe you see a spider with only six leg?  Tongue IS a good set with high playability and nicely design.

    Functions:
    -detachable cockpit
    -mini robot
    -moving leg

    Pros:
    -nice design
    -high playability
    -many extra parts

    Cons:
    -stickers

    Final verdict:
    Playability: 9/10 So many parts that can be detach
    Design: 9/10 One thumb up for the design
    Price: 7/10 Reasonable.
    Overall: 8/10 A nice set to be play with and nice colour scheme.
