@Sonicphoto, thanks for the pointers. I had thought about doing the radar for the gears, but like you said I was thinking about the exploration thing. Having placed them myself and knowing where they were i didn't realize how difficult they'd be to find until I watched @MightyGitis play through it last night. I will definitely use the radar marker in the future. And after I had submitted it I thought about adding a counter to keep track of the enemies, I didn't do a radar marker for them because they did show up as red dots if you were in the right area. But again watching @MightyGitis I realized it would have been good to know how many you had left. For the spies there was a quick camera cut to a collection pen. You had to use the elevators to go up the landing platform to get to it. The landing platform is such a great set piece I wanted to use it and for it to have a function, so I built on a connected elevator and another structure to hold the collection pen. Again after watching @MightyGitis I realized what a hassle it was to do so. It's so easy to miss these things because I know how my toy box is supposed to work. It really helped to watch someone play through it, and to get feed back from others who did. I will definitely use your advice as I continue to work on future boxes.
