“I think both of these are very nice sets although the walkers set seems a bit dull without much to do. It does have a wonderful classic space feel to it though.”

Brickipedia
“The mech is made up of mainly white, with flashes of orange and dark grey. The bottom of the mech is made up of a 2x2 circular transparent-white piece connected to a black parabolic ring that supports the four legs. The legs are made up of two pieces, a robot arm and a... More transparent orange globe.”
