“The Interstellar Starfighter is the longest UFO ship and the most complicated. The front of the ship is a flying saucer, while the back is a half saucer. The front portion has room for one pilot, as well as a few control panels and a box. The wings have magnets on the top of... More them and all wings have thrusters and lasers on them. The magnets allow the vehicle to connect to a secondary ship, which is a half-saucer.”

Everything you'd want in a Spaceship — “I never really understood why the UFO sets had a bad rep amongst AFOLs. UFO sets never seem to cost a lot on the secondary market, even the large ones. There were parts in the build I've never seen before, e.g. funky magnet connectors which allow the back section to be... More easily detached. So don't let the poor reputation of UFO sets put you off.”
