Mechs are a core part of LEGO’s lineup, featuring prominently in Ninjago, Monkey Kid, Dreamzzz, and even in Star Wars and superhero sets, but only the dearly departed Exo-Force theme made mechs the stars. Twenty years after its debut, Exo-Force continues to inspire moc creators like WyndGekko who reimagine and expand on the heroes and villains of the robot rebellion. Here Wynd gives a beefy update to Uplink, one of the smaller mecha of Sentai Mountain.
Wynd applies the same talent for neo-classic space greebling that she displayed as the set designer for Building a LEGO Space Force Volume 2. This suit looks great from every angle.
The scrawny original set packed a lot of play into its $4.99 retail price. I wish I’d picked it up at the time.
