"Eagle Interceptor, which I think must be one of the sets everyone is waiting to see"

Ecosystem

70001 — The reviewer had reservations about the price of 70001 but does not have those concerns with 70003, suggesting 70003 is a superior value proposition and addresses earlier pricing concerns from the first set in the series.

70004 Watz' Pack Tracker 85 — 70003 does not suffer as much from the problem of paying too much attention to the front and not the back, though the rear legs still show exposed yellow and grey.

70000 Razcal's Raven Glider 85 — Razar's Raven Glider in this set is very different from Razcal's glider, featuring a sleek black design with dual-charged powered lasers and lightweight frame for high-speed pursuit capability.
