“This is a cool set. It looks brilliant has got a sturdy structure and has got nice pieces. This is the smallest set where you can get a safe and magnets, so It's a useful set! Mainly, it is too expensive for what is included. If found for a cheap price, which it easily can... More be, it is worth acquiring.”

M-Tron Dream Chaser — “I think the M-Tron theme had some of the best looking spaceships Lego ever designed and this set is no exception. This search craft is a good looking spacecraft. There are several wing bricks which give a futuristic aerodynamic shape but with biplane wing charm.”
