“The Scorpion Detector is made up of two parts, a main vehicle and trailer. The first vehicle is where the pilot is. The trailer has thrusters in back, and a rotating laser cannon which requires a pilot to operate. It is powered by objects put into a small compartment, which... More can be opened up.”

“Overall a solid set that would make a good addition to any space collection. Not the best ground vehicle, but certainly not the worst. There are quite a few large pieces, which relly hurts the usefulness of the parts selection. But it does have some old style finger hinges,... More which are always useful.”
