Is this LEGO set a good investment?

Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot

“One of the last bright stars before Lego space collapsed. The Scorpion detector is made of two four-wheelers; there are no odd space wheel settings so you can separate the two main components and they won't fall on themselves. The front half has a cockpit which is closed on... More the top but open on the sides. A set some may overlook, but it will catch your eye after a closer look. I'm sure there are a few left on the net, try to detect them at a fair price.”

Lego Maniacs' Guide
“The Scorpion Detector is a nice large tank-like vehicle with multiple features. It is actually two sections: the cockpit and a trailer. This is a very nice set to have and there are plenty of pieces that make it worthwhile. Alternate models on the back of the box show a... More medium-sized air vehicle and even a small base. There are also some rare or one-of-a-kind pieces. A 4x4 white turntable included is a first for me as is the 2x1x3 window.”
