Hey looky, it;s my first ever set!

This was a great set, and I still use the pieces a lot today. I wish I still had it whole today!

Nice review of a great set! We should get a classic space review index. Oops

That reminds me, where is my Anti-bug?

I keep seeing this set semi cheap on ebay.

But...

That minifig really is terrible.

And I dont see what I'd do with only 2 of those wheels, nice as they are.

Guess you could buy 2, to get a set of 4 wheels, but then you'd be stuck with 2 goofball minifigs too....

Now the blue skinned female insectoids pilot on the other hand.....

Thanks for the great review! I like this one, even the alien!

Well this one has been added.

Really? I've tried to buy some of these but they always go too high...

I love the alien in this, better than the Mars Mission one. It can actually move it's arms.

I never thought that I missed so much with that line, but this one looks rather interesting....

Thanks for the review, The Cobra.

I'm warming up to Insectoids after getting a few of their sets recently, but I don't think this particular one is so hot. The rear wheels just look out of place with the rest of the model, especially given the size of the front ones.

That Insectoids poster is really nice though. I have posters for some of the other space themes but not that one.
