“Overall a decent set that goes well in your space collection. Everyone needs some small, single person sets. This one fits that niche well.”

“This is a nice little set that is creative and fun. This is a great set for unique pieces and a fun minifigure with a nice face. Although if you want one with good stickers then I suggest getting it sealed in the box.”
Full review at brickset.com
“A neat little saucer-like bike with only one minor flaw. A one-person space-skimmer vehicle in the motif of of the Exploriens. Though small, this set exemplifies LEGO. Simple, yet elegant. A jet-ski for space.”
