If thoughts of Sentai Mountain are flooding your head at this time, and you are familiar with that phrase way back in 2006 when this popular mecha genre from Japanese manga and anime first rocked television, welcome to the club. It's either you yourself are an avid fan, or have children who were constantly glued to the TV whenever characters like Hikaru, Keiken and Meca One hit the screen.
With a captivating storyline, action-filled scenes, and a star-studded cast pitting robots against humans, it's no wonder that the world of Exo Force has crossed media and literature and is now a popular LEGO craze.
For most mecha fans out there, they have long used LEGO bricks to make their designs on their interpretations of classic mecha. When LEGO decided to make a whole toy line based on the Exo Force theme, it could not have come at a better time. There was an ongoing regular online comic that showcased all the details of the events in the LEGO sci-fi world. Along with that was a number of short cartoons (2 minutes) aired on primary children stations such as Nickelodeon. Everything fit into place.
Hobbyists and Exo Force Lego enthusiasts can appreciate the range of sets available like the Battle Support Sentry, Combat Crawler Plus X2 and the Sentai Fortress. Some of the battle machines such as the Stealth Hunter, Thunder Fury, or Grand Titan come with a unit designation, minifig and an alternative model. One can get these items at quality LEGO shops or discounted LEGO stores at prices that range anywhere from $20 to more than $150, depending on the popularity, design and model.
There are also online merchants that provide you with better deals and might even have the exact type you are looking for. If you decide on this option, be sure to check the specifications of the model you choose, as well as the total amount including shipping. Some sites offer free shipping for bulk purchases.
Of course, one of the coolest things about these Exo Force LEGOs is the combination feature. With just a few adjustments and re-building, two or more battle machines can be joined together to make one super battle machine. You or your child may be familiar with the Assault Tiger / Chamelon Hunter combination, or the Dark Panther / Storm Lasher rolled into one.
It's definitely a great reason for fans and collectors to make sure they have the complete and original set!
