Actually I think the ship is the "Odyssey" but it escapes me now.

  It's the Discovery. I thought about trying to make a minifig scale
model of it, but I'm afraid I don't have the parts or the time/patience,
especially for the spherical part (and would anyone really even want
to attempt to make the rotating deck section inside the sphere??)

I'm actually quite disappointed with the Arctic sets and think they are

those transparent boulders, but the theme overall leaves me cold (Sorry, • I
couldn't resist!)   :-)

That's mainly what's kept me from going hogwild over the new Arctic • sets --
seems like a lot of air in the boxes.  OTOH, I think 4 of the large • pre-fab
pieces in the big base are those awesome 4x4x6 concave corridor corners in
Gray!  (Can anyone confirm this?  I love those pieces!)

That's the one piece in this theme that really interests me.  I agree that • the
boxes seem contain a lot of air which is why I have stayed away for now.  I
really think those pieces would work great in space themes.  I think in
quantity they would be great to make a model of the ship in "2001 a space
Odyssey" used as the spine of the ship.  Actually I think the ship is the
"Odyssey" but it escapes me now.
