“This is a neat set at a good price. The figs are cool and, let's face it, those are an important part of the set! I can live with and work around the canopy's square tip, and the other pieces included are pretty nifty too.”

“Overall I am quite happy with the set ... we get an inexpensive way to snag some minifigs and some handy (although hardly new) spaceship parts. Most parts are black and white, which I find useful for a wide variety of spacecraft crafting. ”
