Hmmm. That's the opposite of what I thought. I like the 4970 Chrome crusher,
but I don't like the Tunnel Transport.
The Insectoids, to me, were not very cool. I got the 6969 Celestial Stinger
for $50 on July 1st, the day they came out. I went home and built it right
away, and when I was done, I didn't like it very much. The set was big and
clunky, and fell apart a lot. Also, the big laser flashy bug zapper thingy was
not that great.
I mean, oh wow. Now I can scare my minifigs to death using a big flashy green
light that just makes a sound like a cricket.
Come on TLG. Get back to the REAL space themes like blacktron.
