I've never really been a fan of the Pod line, but that Aqua Pod is alright. And the dragon might make a nice addition to a fantasy scene. These models don't stand alone very well, but they are nice additions.
Sitting in a midnight glade
Firelight dancing off burnished blade
A Forestman sits
Wondering about the next day
But after three mugs of ale
Let it bring what it may.

Hey,

I like the fishy particularly. I'm also pretty excited that the new 1x1x2/3 slopes seems to be popping up all over in a variety of colors. I see that piece is also available in the micro-city design contest. Remember a couple of years ago when they introduced the curved-wedge-slope piece. I saw it first in red in the SW Twin-Pod cloud car and in brown in the redesigned speeder-bikes, but suddenly they were everywhere in all the major colors.

I like the purple one. It reminds me of Monsters INC. I also like the Dragon and the fish. I may have to ask for some of these for Christmas

Not much of a fan of new colors, but the Dragon one looks pretty cool.
It's a Christmas Miracle!

Er... it would have been helpful if this one had a "Warning: Wear Sunglasses before Viewing!" sign attached. :wink:

Man, those colours are bright.

Thats for sure! that was my first impression as well. I havent been a big fan of the x-pods simply because there weren't a lot of parts that I'd use however, I think that fish one may come in handy, and the liz..dragon one too. that bright purple and green one I think my son will like.
time will tell I guess. :D

I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I personally think that the Arachnapod looks the most promising... I think it would make a good mount for a knight. I mean i'm not that selective... I use the normal green robopods (with some modifications) for barbarians in my army.. I'll have pics when my camera is fixed. And coming in at second would have to be the fishypod. Naturally, i'll probably buy them all, but you know.....

I can only see the last one, all the others say, set not found. Any idea why?
