Good job on the review. It convinced me not to buy Chirox because he's not a good set, lol.

@Predator: You mean the leech bomb and shadow leeches inside it? Well, there's really nothing more to say about it except the leech bomb pieces also have rod holes in them. I dunno if it really helps in MoCing, but you can buy a truck load of them and create a massive army, which sounds pretty awesome.
@Taarel: Yeah, those pics were hard to take. =/
@Somedude: Heh. Yeah, get Antroz if any at all. He's my favorite.

Good Review, Though I'm Impressed that You Took the time to do the Review.
I like the Idea to get a Truck Load of those leech bomb pieces....No, three Truck Loads. We should by the end of the Year we should Count all the leech bomb's we got and see who would win a War..

I got Chirox along with all the other Phantoka/Nuva/Matoran I needed (Hehe, Extra money from Christmas) And I think Chirox's arms are too... flimsy for me.

I'm actually thinking of getting Chirox before all the other ones, if I get a chance. As I'm usually rather fond of getting the black sets before all the other ones. The main thing I dislike, though is how flimsy it seems. Though I suppose it's supposed to be somewhat skeletal...

Also, the mask reminds me of Batman's for some odd reason. Despite the lack of resemblances.

... Batman ... and Chirox? Wow. Talk about Imagination.

Anyhow. I think he's cool. But like I said, The arms... But however the arms ARE cool when spread out like wings.

What's going on in this image?

Step 1 seems to be saying, "If you only have 5 pieces, you need to get a few more." (What does the text above it say?)

Step 2 seems to be saying, "Don't start until all of your pieces are sorted."

I've never seen anything like this in a LEGO instruction book before. It reminds me of those strange warning labels from other countries that people send around as a joke.

The first part is saying not to build it on carpet but on a hard surface. I've had an instruction booklet with this image in it, and it's obvious it's carpet, or maybe grass, since edges are coming up over the parts.

You know, I find it quite strange that I actually have built earlier sets in such ways (such as building them outdoors, on the floor, etc.), and never experienced difficulties in doing so. In fact, I've even placed firecrackers in Lego houses(And blew them up), stuck non-electronic mechanical pieces in the water, and even launched a Lego Guy into a model rocket once. I did all this, and I NEVER got any of them damaged... well, okay, they burn easily, but you should know better anyway.

So as I was saying, don't bother with reading the instructions, except for the safety part. Really. And if you lose a valuable piece, just use ductape to suffice for it. Always works for me...

Yeah, I also O_o'd at the start of the instruction booklet. As you can see, I deliberately disobeyed it by building on the carpet. >>

I should also note that your Chirox may also have an extra shadow leech like mine did.

I strapped one to the inside above the engine once... He was scorched, but he miraculously survived.

Anyways, I don't understand why you left out his coolest feature: The Giant Extendo-Wings!

I don't understand your fascination over something that doesn't actually work with the set itself without flipping the wings around. >_>

And that's exactly my point: The Giant Extendo-Wings have too much "Giant" and not enough "It works right" for me to be impressed in any way.

Maybe my Chirox's joints are unusually stiff (it did seem like that when I built him), but I've had no problems with that... He's as swooshable as a Star Wars set.
