Lego Insectoids 6977 Arachnoid Star Base

Product Description

It's the BIGGEST Insectoid of them all!
Shaped like a spider, it's ready to scuttle in any direction. Lights and three space sounds alert others to stay out of its way! Use the spider-like legs to grab energy orbs quickly. When danger strikes, this giant insect can separate from its shell to make an escape. The race is on for the energy orbs. And YOU decide who will get them first! Includes two Insectoids, two droids, communications tower and lots of energy orbs. Requires two AA batteries (not included) to operate lights and sound

Editorial Review

This challenging, 433-piece LEGO set includes parts and 31-step instructions for creating a mechanical housefly spaceship that, with two AA batteries, lights up and makes a buzzing sound. When the plastic, Day-Glo cockpit and green plastic visual pods are considered, the fact that the completed project can be battery powered is beside the point. The kit comes with four robot astronauts; blue, moon-rover wheels; and a pair of neon blue insect wings with which to build a flying bug motorcycle. This isn't a click- together-and-play set. It'll take some patience and time to construct the "mothership" bug. Once it's up and running, it's one of the most formidable toys in the galaxy of any given household. --Claire Dederer

This review is from: Lego Insectoids 6977 Arachnoid Star Base (Toy)
Part of the fun of LEGO sets are starting a collection of one type of LEGO, and adding on to make a whole community. The insectoids set is a great example of what I mean by this. According to LEGO, the insectoids are aliens that try to invade earth. Some insectoid sets have flashing lights and sounds and other fun features. This set, the Arachnoid Star Base, doesn't disappoint. It's much bigger and contains much more than the picture shown by amazon.com. It's a whole base-type thing with a control room and a big ship and other things to play with. The only thing that makes this toy fall short of 5 stars for fun rating is because, unfortunately, your wallet won't have too much fun paying for this toy. It's very durable, but if built wrong, it will easily fall apart. This toy really teaches kids how to follow rather difficult instructions, and their work will pay off! Before you go out and buy this set, though, you may want to buy a smaller insectiod set to make sure that the... Read more

I got this toy for my 9 year old grandson because he loves lego projects
and this one was quite a challenge for him. But he was thrilled when he got it put together and everything worked. I recommend this toy highly for
creative children who enjoy putting things together.
