Recon Robot #6889
Product Number: #6889
Year: 1994
When our playing style evolves, I save a lot of money to buy this set before. This is my first Lego Robot set and the price was also expensive that time. This is the most baddest models I have before and a great threat to my Lego protagonist on our play. This Robot roam around with his six wheels, Even this robot seems doesn't have the ability to jump or even fly, it is compensated by its fire power. On the waist part of the robot has a room for laser guns, both of its arms were armed by twin laser guns mounted on its wrist and another tube was attached on its head that can act as a flame thrower in my play. This robot has several compartments to keep small accessories and its arms were claws that can pick light pieces of bricks or a Minifigure.
The Spyrius Astronaut minifigure has the same uniform with my Saucer Scout Set and armed with one laser gun and a printed 1x2 tile brick that act as the remote control of the Recon Robot
Include:
1 Spyrius Astronaut Minifigure
3 Laser Gun
Pros:
Overall this model was just the best. I had so many hours fun with it and im sure others did too. The instructions were simple, it’s aesthetics and playability are through the roof for being as old as it is. Places to put things and lots of flexibility you just couldn’t go wrong. If you like space this is a must and for anyone who like top quality models this ones for you. A must have.
Cons:
It is much better if they replace the Astronaut Minifigure with the Spyrius Robot Minifigure.

Islander Catamaran #6256
Product: #6256
Year: 1994
I really love Islander theme, they are the foundation why I collect lego. I always want to collect all islander theme but as a child that time, I don't have enough cash to buy these sets. Actually, I only had Forbidden Cove and King Kahuka's Throne but when I saw a fake Islander Catamaran on our local stores, I bought the last two pieces of it and take care of it as it was original. This set includes King Kahuka and an islander girl. The catamaran is made by two boat join side by side with two lego parrot Minifigure. Even the quality of this fake islander catamaran is poor, The set has all the exact pieces as the original.
Includes:
1 King Kahuka Islander Minifigure
1 Female Islander Minifigure
2 Parrot Minifigure
1 Crocodile Minifigure
3 Spears
Pros:
This is the only cheapest set to get a female islander.
Two parrots minifigure was also nice to had
Cons:
Too much King Kahuka, King Kahuka is almost in every Islander Set. THey should replace King Kahuka with standard male or another female islander on this set

The Knight #5615
Year: 2008
This is a great set for building an army of lego knights. If I could turn back time then Ill but more of this set. The knight was wearing a pearl sliver basic knight helmet and has a silver spear. The rack was also good for keeping his extra Jousting helmet and armor, his crown shield and a sword. A impulse set with a lots of good accesories which is a must have for every medieval warfare fantasy.
Includes:
1 Knight Minifigure
1 spear
1 shield
1 sword
Pros:
an impluse set with several weapons and gears.
The knight was awesome, his face was so cool showing no emotions. a great face for army of knights
Cons:
for me, i cant say anything that lack on this set. The only downfall of this set is the stocks. I havent seen this set last on the stores for one week and they didnt re-supply again.
Hovertron #6815
Product Number: #6815
Year: 1996
As soon as Ive got the Saucer Scout, my brother purchase this set to counter my set. This set is also a flying saucer with two booster on its sides. the minifigure included on this set is the leader of the exploriens armed with a unique space gun with scope.
Includes
1 Exploriens Astronaut Minifigure
1 Space Gun with scope
Pros:
Cons:
Saucer Scout #6835
Year: 1994
This is one of the most amazing spaceship I had in my lego arsenal, despite its size. The ship has a tight cockpit, plus an actual seat unlike most ships. The ship is not over armed and has just enough firepower to be a threat on its top. Though the panel out side seems like a computer, it also looks cool as a front cover, rather than having all four ends exactly the same, taking away from the design and the playability, since you can't build much else without the computer. Also, the computer can serve as a security system, allowing the pilot in, or as a dataport for the found (stolen) information. But what makes this a great scout is that the four dual boosters make this ship beyond agile, since the thrusters make for movement in all eight standard directions as well as allowing the ship to turn on less than a dime, since if two thrusters fire in opposite directions the ship rotates
1 Spyrius Astronaut Minifigure
Pros:
-Very well designed.
-A good source of red inverse slopes and jet engines.
-Weapon can be used by minifig
-No controls? No problem. Note the funky headband on the minifig's head. It suggests direct brain-control.
Cons:
-Is there any point to having the monitor outside the cockpit? itd be pretty hard to see from a reclining position.
-Not enough pieces, i could easily imagine this in a bag set or as part of a combination pack.

Shark Scout #6115
Product Number: #6115
Year: 1995
This cool underwater scooter was another great impulse set carefully chosen by my brother. It has the usual Aquazone transparent orange fan and helmet holding two harpoons. The front of the scooter has a printed Aquashark emblem which is very nice since it is not a sticker. The scooter itself is all black with a touch of blue color scheme. It looks sleek, quick and maneuverable which is a must is this type of vehicle.
The mini fig is nice with an awesome looking face. The Helmet is black with a red shield. He has the two harpoons which can also be but into the front of the vehicle as defense or to be fired.
Includes1 Aquashark aquanaut minifigure
2 harpoons
Pros:
In my collection, this set is the only one that has harpoon weapon.
Cons:

Year: 1994
As soon as I bought a female minifig that has her won speed boat to join my pirate versus islander play, I want some one who will save her from the Pirates or from the Islander. That is the reason why I bought this set. This set is a great and versitile since it include a beach vehicle and a sailing board which he can use in confronting the pirates and islanders on the sea or sand.

Paradisa Speedboat #1761
Year: 1995
There is only one reason why I bought this set on the mall and that reason is I want to have a female Minifigure who will act as a damsel in distress in my play.

Skeleton Crew #6232
Year: 1996
I remember wanting this set as a kid for the skeleton as I didn’t have one at the time.
The cave is made up of several gray bricks and from top of it was a leaf clipped into both points. In this set, instead of having a treasure chest, the Lego gold coins were stored on a barrel.
The pirate in this set has more of a newish look and can be seen rarely unlike those previous pirates on smalls impluse sets that lego has.
The skeleton is an old style skeleton with loose arms that rotate 360 degrees. The skeleton is equipped with a Conquistador hat. I really liked him and had alot of hours fun using him in other play until I got more skeletons.
Includes:
1 Pirate Minifigure
1 Skeleton Minifigure
1 Flintlock
1 Cutlass
Pros:
A skeleton was very impressive.
The Pirate included in this set was really rare
Cons:
It is much better to have a treasure chest instead of a barrel for keeping the Lego gold coins safe.

Before, I always want to have Captain Roger but I dont have enough cash that time to buy the set in which he is included. as an alternative solution, Captain Iron hook turn to be my pirate captain everytime I was playing Lego. Being the captain of pirates without epaulette was not nice so I set my mind buying a set which epaulette is included. The time I saw this set, I didnt hesitate to buy it. This set has two minifigure, A pirate and an Imperial Guard. The set has includes one treasure box that has four coins inside.
Include:
1 Pirate Minifigure

Ship Wreaked Pirate #1713
Year: 1994
The Ship Wreaked Pirate Set was almost identical to Renegade's Raft but I can say that Renegades Raft is much better in terms of quantity and accesories. The Pirate included here was the standard pirate with a cutlass. I was thinking to buy another Renegade's Raft until I saw this set. It is much cheaper and great for building army of pirates.
Included:
1 Pirate Minifigure
1 Shark Minifigure
1 Flintlock
1 Cutlass
Pros:
The built was sturdy.
Cons:
This model doesnt have a shark minifigure
also doesnt have any treasures

The Renegades Raft Includes flintlock and Cutlass which can be use by the Pirate minifigure included on the set. one good thing about this set is Lego include a shark minifigure which is very nice for a small set.
