Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot

Review for LEGO set 6893 Orion II Hyperspace from mpospese.com

“Three-part modular vehicle: front cockpit, mid scooter, and rear trailer holding a robot-driven rover. Comes with blue and yellow Futuron astronauts and a brick-built robot. I especially like the scooter and its control scheme. The new octagonal windscreens are used here in... More white to form the walls of the trailer.”
