Recommendation: yes 9.5 / 10 by LuxorV

Overall, the Hive Crawler is a fantastic set, both for the small human vehicle/s and the titular alien one. As a flag-ship (or flag-bug), it really compliments the line, and adds a lot to the Galaxy Squad universe, introducing Elite warriors and larvae, as well as confirming the idea of a central hive guarded by new levels of the bug's cast system.

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Huw

It's good that we have a new alien minifig and a couple of larvae in the set but it could have done with more. As I said in another review, how is one supposed to build up a colony when there are so few of them in the sets?
