“The Base can split up for a vehicle that looks like a grasshopper and an abdomen section. The grasshopper has four legs and some mandibles (made from smaller transparent dark-green insectoid legs). Its abdomen glows red and has a sound system which can make three different... More sounds of which two sound like a robotic insect whereas the third one sounds like an engine.”

“The set contains weight of rare details, beautiful minifigures, and the set is very beautiful!”

“Arachnoid Star Base, however, stands out as an exceptional example of how to create an innovative base of operations that will characterize an entire subtheme. Arachnoid Star Base has obvious gimmicks, but the gimmicks work. Yes, the base looks like a giant spider and yes... More there is an enormous light and sound piece that makes obnoxious noises, but that is reasonable to fit these attributes into the Insectoids’ theme overall, since, obviously, the Insectoids have structures and spacecraft that look like insects.”

About Space Insectoids

Insectoids was a LEGO Space subtheme released in 1998 that consisted of 17 sets. The Insectoids story line was based on the cybernetic Zotaxians and their droids who fled their home planet of Zotax after a war with their leader. During the escape they crash landed on the massive planet Holox, but the planet was too hostile on the surface for survival so they tunneled underground and built cities. The Zotaxians owned vehicles called Insectoids that were insect-like in appearance and were desigend to escape the underground insects.

Insectoids consists of 17 sets that ran from 1998 to 1999. As of today, 6977 Arachnoid Star Base is the most valuable Insectoids set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $424.
