Set Review: 1392 Tohunga Kongu

Hi everyone,

I told you I would have something special, and I do! Here is my first set review.


1392 Tohunga Kongu


The Package

It's what catches your eye as the set lies on the shelf, and is the selling point.

This is a truly unique packet, as it was only available through McDonalds in 2001. It is a plastic bag instead of a canister or box.


The Instructions

Are they easy or hard to build from?

This is not so much instructions as a poster. There are pictures of combiner models, and scenes from the story.

A real poster adorns the back.


The Pieces

The most important part of the set, and what I buy them for.

Maybe the least pieces in any set known, but rare ones. Some of these are turquoise, a rare color at best, an impossible color to find at worst.

The Complete Set

This is what it's for, people. The finished product of your labors.

Here he is, in all his glory.





This is a movie of his disc-launching function.


Final Thoughts

All in all, is the set worth the purchase? Or should you have kept the money?


This set has many rare pieces and colors, and has a great disc-launching function. On the other hand, it cost about $10, and that is a lot for only eight pieces. I still think it is worth the money, though, for the potential the pieces have for creations.

Pros:

-Rare pieces
-Disc throwing

Cons:

-High price
-Few pieces


I hope you enjoyed the review! Hopefully I will be able to get more posts up as fast as this. Check back often!
