“The best Exploriens set out there, at least in my opinion. The little shuttle is well designed and very swooshable, the buggy is fun to play with and the base itself has plenty of room inside.”

“Overall, LEGO Android Base is a nice set, although you really need like a UFO or Insectoids set to have it at its full potential. The Warp Wing Fighter, which I have, goes great with it. The set, though, without one or two of its concurrent factions (In this case, Unitron,... More Roboforce, UFO, or Spyrius) is really not that playable, but still a nice set. Overall, this set is great, if, and only if, you can get it for the right price.”
