[Mechaton] Best Sets for Parts

(1/2) > >>

Mantisking:
I've been looking at the new line of Lego games and they have a lot of cool parts and interesting colors that might be good for parts sets for Mechaton.

lumpley:
Which ones? People always ask me to recommend sets to them and I usually can't. If there are some good ones I wanna know!

I think Robo Champ, Race 3000, Lunar Command and scarily enough Shave A Sheep are the best.  Hogwarts and Ramses Pyramid are probably the best for scenery and cover pieces.

David Artman:
I find the best sets are anything using Technic pieces that's on deep discount. :) I picked up the Space Squid thing (was once a Lego Creator kit, then official, now prolly gone for good) for maybe $20 (500+ pieces, IIRC) and it's enough for ten teams, at least.

Also, don't forget it don't have to be mechs. I've been considering doing something with Mechaton at the minifig level, with ground troops, "normal" combat vehicles, artillery, etc. It's all a matter of scale. ;)

I got one of those and the corresponding Space Justice set when both were on clearance.  Another good set that's been discontinued is the UCS General Grievous.  Here's the Bricklink inventory list for the set.
