Description

Welcome to the future…where humanity is under constant attack from a brutal alien threat. The Komplex spreads through the galaxy and growing stronger with each species they defeat and assimilate. To fight them, humanity relies on an elite team, the Forge, who pilots their own armada of spacecraft known as Snap Ships. Now YOU can Build to Battle! Snap Ships is a versatile building system for creating multiple crafts with action play, and all sets and pieces are interchangeable, so kids can build however they want. The Snap Ships set for Gladius includes instruction for two builds (ship and attack rover) that you assemble yourself and then engage in battle with real shooting weapon play! Gladius AC-75 Drop Ship is large and heavily armed so that it can clear landing zones and deploy a fast attack rover for ground missions. Gladius is piloted by Commander Dex and the spunky Dee La, two of the Forge’s best pilots. Battle gets really interesting when you add the mysterious UJU tech piece that’s included! Download the free Snap Ships app for more action play and more ship build ideas! All Snap Ships sets are modular and designed to be combined to build whatever you can imagine! Includes 124 Building Pieces, 24 Accessories, Instructions; no batteries required

    • 2020 has sucked. But we did get Snap Ships!
This building system is amazing. It is very easy to put together a detailed science fiction vehicle. While most sets have instructions for more than one out-of-box model, my favorite activity is creating my own ships. You can build an attractive little mini-ship with 5 pieces in under 10 seconds. Or you can spend hours designing complicated, grandiose battleships. The designers developed a very elegant cuboid block system reminiscent of Zoids Blox, but with the the connecting peg attached to the primary block type. In its simplest form, you build a basic structure with the blocks and use a dizzying array of connectors and panels to camouflage the blocks and create a well-defined model that doesn't look like a building set. This was obviously a labor of love for the designers and manufacturer. There is a veritable buffet of parts that touch on classic science fiction vehicle elements: -Thrusters? Check! at least 5 different types -High-tech weapons? possibly a couple dozen death-dealing blasters! -Wings that look cool but are irrelevant in space ? Check! -Missile launchers? Several varieties of detailed missile launchers and "toyetic" launchers that really shoot! -Various undefined greeblies that allow you to imagine a high-tech function? Check! -At least 5 different cockpit types -Nicely sculpted 1-inch figures to staff your creation. There are distinctive design styles for each of the 2 warring factions. The "good guys" have very familiar grey and blue clean-lined parts that borrow from Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc. The "bad guys" have a black and magenta insectoid motif with menacing wings and pincers. The attractively textured packaging lid doubles as a display stand. While I've not tried the associated smartphone app, it looks pretty sweet from what I've seen. Cons: These toys are easy for kids to use but the detail is good enough for a grownup. This also means that some pieces are kind of sharp - case in point being the Gladius 9-missile panels. I would use the prying tool to push these into the blocks and warn your kids not to simply "thumb" them in. Worse than stepping on a lego brick. Some of the pieces are brittle - we've snapped a few missiles in half, and a number of the guns have broken off. Despite these criticisms, as a geeky adult I am engrossed in this toy. My 7-year-old and I give each other building ideas and fight for pieces so much I've had to buy a bunch of sets to keep up with our demand for pieces! I love trying to push the boundaries on how to combine the parts in novel ways. ... show more

    • A Fun, Mammoth of a Set!
So far my son and I have enjoyed every snap ship set, and this one is no exception. This is currently the biggest set and on of the best. Pros: -Build quality is on point and the ship can be held with one hand without fear of items falling off. -For the asking price, you get a lot for your money for build quality and parts count. -The options for customizing and making your own craft are almost overwhelmingly high. There are a few alternate builds for the Gladius in the online App which will make your dropship into fully armed corvette class of vessel. -The scout car is really neat and rolls well. Cons: -The armed wing tips are held on by a single tab. It is secure but if bumped or dropped, they will fall off. They can easily be put back on however. -The Green Missile-Pods have a good point to them so parents may need to assist the younger kids on teaching them how to attach them without poking their fingers too much. As with this entire line, I cannot recommend the Gladius enough. This is a great building set of ships that are easily put back together and disassembled and I recommend highly as a collector of toys myself and as a parent. ... show more

    • I'm 40 and I bought this for myself.
Where were these when I was a kid? I bought this on impulse for less than $20 and it's the best money I've spent in awhile. This toy is seriously heavy, I can't imagine how they make money on this amount of plastic for so little money. The value is out of control. It was super fun to assemble, complicated enough to be fun but simple enough to be easy to follow. The instructions were well thought out and aside from one minor error, there was no issue. Even the error was a simple coloring issue I think and didn't change anything. These things are super well designed, the engineers who came up with them should be hired by NASA, the end result is surprisingly sturdy and super fun. I followed the instructions but you could easily let your imagination guide you in the same vein as your favorite assembly blocks from Denmark. Comes with an option flight stand and base, which is also cleverly the top of the packaging. I have never seen these in stores and I don't understand why. Even the packaging and is well designed and handsome and the assembly book is one of the best I've ever seen. Comes with 2 figures, slightly smaller than 1/72 scale. I will be buying more of this line and for this price I suggest you do too. Makes a fun project to do with the kids, or just a cheap way to entertain a grown man child like myself. 10/10 ... show more

    • Best toy line in YEARS, Just buy it!
Some toys come along as game changers and this is one of them! They are fun to build, but you can't just stop at one. We have bought all the ships now (some duplicates because we liked them so much) and have gone on to create our own builds. It is a fantastic toy. I wanted something like this for a long time to share with my kids and it is HERE! - THIS MODEL: This is probably your biggest bang for your buck. It is a large ship that comes with a small vehicle. There is a click release so as you are flying low, you just press a button and your vehicle is landing. The creators truly thought this out and it is fun to build. The amount of weapons on this one is insane. It is a gun ship through and through and my 9 year old always has to have it in battles. - Companion App for the phone: They didn't stop at an amazing toy set, they kept going with a mini youtube series of cartoons and an app that allows you to have interactive instructions (haven't seen that before) and an Alternate Reality feature that allows you to model the ship in your room and see how all the weapons work. The kids absolutely loved it! (I was also there to enjoy :) ) ... show more
