I love mechs too, but the knee joint is stationary which really hurts poseability ? I don't see the point of an almost-stationary mech, honestly. A knee joint would've made this set so much better.

The price is fantastic though.

Should have been included, but pretty easy to mod.

this set totally sucks as an investment.  what a dud.  still in stock from amzon.com  less than msrp despite retiring at the end of 2018.  i got a few at 50% off but that's  basically break even to zero or even lose a little on shipping ignoring opportunity cost.   at the time i bought them i thought the set looked interesting but there was this small voice inside whispering its another exo-suit.  i should have listened.

Maybe in the US, but had no problems selling these in the UK at double RRP.

Would be happy to depending on price, as import duty and shipping costs from the US would soon mount up.

Well, I stand corrected. I had thought that as I originally bought this direct from Lego.com in August 2017 at £49.99, that this was UK RRP.

Lego did increase alot of the rrp in 2017 by £10/20, but this was mainly on the big sets worth £100+, so maybe it was originally 50 and brickset just has latest rrp?
