“It has a nice little radio antenna, which is ruined by the use of a random missile that looks like it's going to shoot the antenna before it shoots the alien. Still, I never say no to a good missile I can use for something else.”

“This is a good set in which I have no complaints about except the alien which was lacking a lot in movement. It comes with a lot of gems for the mining drill thing to "mine" for. The astronaut is wonderfully printed. The storage unit in a great vehicle that the alien could... More in no way destroy. Overall a wonderful set.”
