LEGO Hero Factory SURGE & ROCKA Review - Nicola Kellie-Jones

At a glance

"It isn’t just an ornament once built – It can actually be played with. Comes with 2 mini figures. Durable. Helps encourage imaginative play"

"Instructions definitely needed if not use to this style of build. Our 10 year old's patience would have been lost if we were not helping to build. A part of the instructions showed the feet being assembled one way but the picture shows another."

When the package arrived I don’t know who was the most excited, my 10 year old son or my 32 year old husband! Their faces lit up when I lifted it out of the packaging and they were gazing in awe at the images on the box. This was followed by a 20 minute discussion on how ‘Cool’ the Combat Machine looked and whether to follow the instructions or go with your gut.

Eventually, the actual pieces were removed from the box and at this point it was a unanimous decision that the instructions were to be followed as we have never built a Lego model with pieces like this before. It turned into a family project, but, we all had fun building the model and got a taster of what the Hero Factory Builds must be like.

There are 10 flick missiles, 2 stud shooters and a sphere shooter attached to the model which the mini figures can use. The Flyer or Upper Section can be removed, the wings can be moved into different positions.

Our 10 year old son has spent hours playing with this model and unlike some it seems very durable and withstands the movement very well.
