Recommendation: meh 4.4 / 5 from 39 reviews

This Lego set was on my son's Christmas list. He is ten and loves assembling and collecting Lego sets. He put the set together in less than an hour and played with it throughout the remainder of the day. He has since taken it out numerous times. He loves the wings on the space swarmer. The set has an easy to follow assembly guide. I am overall pleased with this set and recommend it to others.

The Brick Fan

Recommendation: no 3.5 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The main part of the set is the Space Swarmer. It looks similar to a large beetle. The majority colors of the Swarmer is bright green and red. The cockpit opens up to sit the Alien Beetle inside. The wings are able to flap much like a beetle's. The main function is that it has a grabbing action to capture the Robot.

There's nothing much to dislike about this set: 2 great minifigs and an interesting bug-like ship that looks good and is fun to play with, and for a reasonable price. With 6 legs it would have been even better.
