I got this set because I wanted something different to add to my world. Plus I really wanted that saw assembly, as it has multiple uses. This set has some nice colour offerings, and just the perfect amount of them. The mini-figure has such a stern look on his face (good addition!). The blue toque is adorable. The printed gear on the mini-figure is top-notch. A set of ATV-style wheels is included. The rest of the set is pretty lackluster. For example, if this is an Arctic theme, why is there a huge gap in the vehicle for Arctic wind to pierce through? The ice structure doesn't "break" as easily as I thought; it takes a bit of digital effort. Also, a minor point, besides just attaching the "insect piece" to the back of the vehicle via stud, there is no place to house this "delicate" object which might break b/c it's surrounded in ice. The two transparent pieces get lost in the dark blue, so they don't show up visually right away. Overall, a nice little set which will be put to good custom use, but the Road Worker set is a 5-Star compared to this. When will Lego make an Iditarod race theme with dog-driven sleds? Parkas, huskies, and hot chocolate!

I am fairly satisfied with this polybag as it offers reasonable play value and contains some interesting parts. The set is packaged with National Geographic Kids magazine at the moment, costing £3.99 in the UK. At that price I would recommend adding it to your Arctic collection as I think this is a fun set, despite its small size.
