My thoughts on it are, it seemed it was the start of the Junior threads, not
so much of parts but as in bizarre minifigs, and decorations. The theme just
seemed to drop, and it just got weird. That goes for UFO and Insectiods. I
don't know what the deal was Exploriens.

The monorail set was good for monorail, but not much else. I don't think it
was very successful. Most of the newer themes had one time and your out.

The Starhawk II is very expensive, but it has great parts. The monorail is
as well, but worth it.

It is a decent line, but I think it was one where you needed to make up your
own story, as opposed to newer themes.
