“Aesthetically the Celestial Forager looks great in person with nice details all around. Interesting side note: according to the description of M-Tron in my little LEGO catalog, they locate and transport vital resources and those must the 1x1 round trans-neon green pieces... More that go in the box. My other M-Tron set also has those in the box.”
