Lego Hero Factory Invasion from Below set review: Rocka Stealth Machine

Here's a Lego Hero Factory Invasion from Below set review of Rocka Stealth Machine! I bought this at The Brick Shop yesterday. Here are 9 pictures of it.

Jumper in container... thingy I guess :P

Minifigure+jumper: They're okay... I guess. They aren't the best Lego stuff... but still okay...I would LOVE to use Rocka's minifigure parts for the minifig version of my Self MOC but apparently there aren't any purple so I might have to use my purple modelling clay... But whatever they are good. However, one thing I dislike is how come the jumper has a tan 1 1/2 pin used to connect the black and orange parts together? It's so off colour scheme! But thanks to the function on the jumpers I will give a 0.5 point more. Here's the function.

(9.5/10)
Mecha: I am a little utterly disappointed with its physical appearance, especially when on the package it appears to be very bulked up and looks very armoured but when you actually build it it doesn't seem quite like I expected. I'm very disappointed. (5/10)
Pieces: YAY PIECES I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!! Enough said, let's go to the new pieces I get in this set and pieces that are rare that I get more of in this set.
New(to me):
1. Black 5 long armour piece(Yes at last I got these and in this set came 4!)
2. The jumper container piece in transparent bright green
3. lightsaber piece in bright green
4. Lime green cockpit piece that has the 2 minifig sized hooks for Exo-force claw thingy
5. transparent black/brown cockpit
6. Rocka minifig helmet
7. Rocka minifig arms
8. Rocka minifig legs
9. Lime green head
10. Technic hinge w/ pin size connector at the end
More:
1. Black version of the armour add-on piece that is on the mecha's 'shoulder'
2. Gunmetal grey/dark pearl grey feet
3. Gold 3 long armour piece
4. Gunmetal grey/dark pearl grey 4 long armour piece
5. Transparent green bottom half breakout shooters
(10/10)
Total: 24.5/30
That's it for now and I hope this review helped you!

Lego update 20

It's been awhile since I've done a Lego update as usual BUT I came with sad news: My Lego city is disassembled. COMPLETELY. Except for a few things that I like and decided to keep them. Otherwise, the rest are all disassembled. Here's a picture of it now.



Yes I love the Yellow Cross Restaurant a lot it is probably one of my more favourite creations of all time. And yes you kind of saw quite a bunch of my recent Hero Factory MOCs and there's also a brick separator holder in the picture. :P 
I didn't disassemble the cars because they ALL have black pieces and my black and grey pieces collection is already overflowing so much that some of the pieces had to be moved to where my purple pieces were 'staying at'(my purple bricks aren't in the same containers as my other Lego bricks). 
Also I made a brick separator holder because first of like I said in my Lego torch light MOC post I said that I had already disassembled it and I wanted to find some use for my light brick because honestly speaking I don't know where should a precious piece like that should be put, secondly I can sometimes misplace my brick separators and when I need to disassemble MOCs which requires them I would be very frustrated trying to find them and third I wanted to use up some of my pieces because I AM HAVING A BRICK OVERFLOW. :P 
Anyway actually honestly speaking only my black and grey bricks and white bricks collection are overflowing the rest aren't. My red bricks are close to though, so it might be a good thing that I don't disassemble my yellow cross restaurant now because then I have no space to place my red bricks and I got no other containers. Oh and by the way because this thing has been sitting around for a year and a few months some of my bricks were very dusty and I had to clean them up with water. :P
Anyway that's it for now and if you ever see a Lego update it might be just an update in general not a Lego city update anymore!
