As you can tell from the usage guide above, this Expansion Parts Set 3 alone can't really recreate anything on its own — it's designed from the start to be combined with Sets 3, 4, and 5 together to build other units. So for this review, just take a good look at what's included in the mission packs. For the units you can build by combining this kit with the other sets, please check out the Scopedog Expansion Parts Set 4 or Scopedog Expansion Parts Set 5 reviews.

The Burglarydog-related parts are straight reuses of the runners from the standard retail HG Burglarydog, so there's not much new to look at there. The newly sculpted blade antenna & mission pack and PRSP pack, however, come out nicely and pair well with the existing HG Scopedog in terms of quality.

So on its own there's not a whole lot you can do with this kit, but it does deliver a solid range of Votoms weaponry at a good quality level. The packaging feels a bit off somehow, but either way, if you're a Votoms fan, I'd say the value here is in the options it gives you to pick and choose based on your own taste. :-)
