Wonderful, Practical keychain!
Great keychain to give to your favorite lego lover. The Minifigure is fully articulated and uses no glue to keep it intact on the other parts of the body. Santa Clause I'd a perfect Minifigure keychain item for some one aged 6+ I would say. Great for rucksack zippers. Great for children's first keyring...can't miss Lego Santa when getting your keys. Also places a higher incentive for a child not to lose his key while remaining non cumbersome and safe! Great choice for any one these holidays!

Exo Force 8107 Fight for the Golden Tower
This set belongs to the lego genre called Exo Force which is based around a comic series that comes with the sets as well as separate content in the form of online comic books, online storyline, and lore.
The Exo Force series focuses around heavy Japanese influence which is really appealing and in my opinion a better Asian theme than Ninjago or Spinjitsu.
In the story it is Humans vs. Antagonist intelligent robots. The humans and robots alike rely almost soley on their Mechs for battle.
Both sides have some extraordinarily detailed and incredibly imaginative and imagination provoking sets which provide for immense enjoyment by children. I would not recommend any of these sets to children under the age of about 10+ due to the more advanced building skills needed as well as certain aspects of the mech being highly fragile when changing poses.
Aside, this set, 8107, Fight for the Golden Tower is a very nice set. There are numerous aspects to it and is a pivotal part of the Exo Force story line. The set itself would be great for all lego fans, Mech Enthusiasts, Anime Enthusiasts, fans of Fantasy and New and Unique Futuristic Environments, Settings, Lore, Storylines, and Enthusiasts of playable content. This set and genre works especially well for two individuals. Neither Human nor Robot factions have advantage over the other in terms of the options they have to wage battle. In a different set, The Mobile Devistator, the robots have an absolutely huge fortress on wheels.
On top of Mechs and Flying vehicles and Mechs there are also numerous land based vehicles including a tank lIke vehicle, a rescue vehicle, large 4 legged walking machines and more.
I ranked this set 4 out of 5 stars because the high level of play value as well as all the other options I have listed. If not for some Mechs that are highly fragile I would have given it 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend this set to any one that enjoys lego. Moreover I would suggest this Genre and set to ANY Mech enthusiast or people who enjoy being able to have models of the characters, settings and overall environment, and models of the machinery from the comics they enjoy. On top of that I believe fans would enjoy this set and other Exo Force sets based highly on the great attention to detail and the high playability of each set.
Finally, I would extremely recommend this set to any one who has Exo Force sets or wants to begin getting them because of the playability and high importance of the Golden Tower within the Exo Force story line.

Great for children and adults alike with great features and extras!
I bought this item because I am a Lego collector and was impressed with the ingenuity and design. In fact, I bought two, both on Ebay.
The plane itself is a model of aircraft they use in the military, primarily on aircraft carriers. Its called an Osprey, after the long distance ocean fairing bird. Unlike the Harrier which can only hover for around 40 seconds and can only do 1 vertical take off/landing due to the need to carry a large amount of water to cool the jet engines, the Osprey was designed with the ever most ingenious rotating old style rotary propellers that can rotate 90 degrees. With that, it can take off and hover like a helicopter and then slowly rotate the engines and fly through some of the roughest weather the planet can throw at it. And just like a helicopter it can come to a slow halt and land vertically.
As for the product, I really like how Lego did such a great job replicating the real plane, I love that they implemented it, as a heavy lift operations vehicle, specifically for logging, an area they never really tapped before. Lego now has lumberjack Minifigs, log homes, and more of the blue collar and "Living off the land" type of sets; expanding into more ways of living and recreational activities that the typical person or family participates in. In less words, rather than just city, high middle class suburbs, and super heroes, they have found a great and fun way to tap into the lives of most of their customer base and show them that creativity, special skills, and fun aren't exclusive to mysteriously over successful Lego families of the past.
Finally, I really enjoyed that they payed special attention to the extras of the set. The pilot, the dog, the geared winch, the ATV, and more than anything, the color scheme and "air Cargo" logos, giving their air cargo line another great set that has all the realisms and features fun for children and fun to have as an adult builder/collector.
I have an enormous airport that is central to my city due to the great planes of past and present and have always wanted to build something like it. With the advent of the "air Cargo" color scheme and sets, it set me up to rethink and rebuild what I had as an airport. With all the different sub genres into flight I was elated to now have the opportunity to build different areas and terminals of my airport.
