Title: It at least teaches how to read instructions, I suppose
Product review: When it began at the end of the seventies, the Lego Space range started as inventive and highly flexible - you could build all manner of things out of even small sets. This high quality progressed throughout the eighties and early-to-mid nineties. But in recent years lego space sets have become very tacky and gimmicky. There were the hologram stickers and the red/blue filters of the Exploriens sets, which were fair enough. But more recently space sets have employed the use of big specialized pieces which limit scope for alternative building and often make the sets look ugly and clunky. The eyes, pre-printed wings and light-and-sound box can really only be used in Insectoid sets, the insect-person minifig looks ridiculous and the use of magnets to hold those two little ships in place makes the whole thing far too wobbly and unstable.
