One of the smaller Ice Planet 2002 Sets, but that doesn't keep me from loving

it dearly!

Here is a breif description:

The rocket truck itself is very nice, it has some nice features, The orange window cockpit

opens up so you can take the Figure out, The wheels are Indeed cool, and the

skis can be put on a rack.

Now we move on to the rocket.

The rocket has a magnet on it, there is an arm that can grab onto it and pull it up.

You can lock it into position by two orange windows.

Now the figure.

He has a standard Ice planet torso, with a nice face withe white hair, he also comes with a chainsaw.

I would reccomend this set to any collector, because, well, it's just too much fun.

I bought this set on Bricklink a while ago and I thought that I'd review it.

The Set Itself

This is one of those sets that looks better built than it does in images. It's got a lot of great features-it's also the third largest Ice Planet 2002 set. For a space vehicle, it's pretty good. The best feature is the rocket launcher. The magnetic arm attached to the rocket and has a good range of motion. The trans neon orange parts holding the rocket are great keep it in place. There is also a satellite to attach to the top (sputnik?). The front is decent, but it's got a great design. The only annoying thing about this is the skis attach to a part and can be difficult to take off, but that's no big deal compared to the rest of the set.

Building

Not much to say-not really any techniques of interests, although it's pretty fun.

Parts

Lots of blue, white and trans neon orange (great colors)-the crane arm parts, the windshield, the rocket base, the wheels, and the minifigure accessories are all great.

Playability

Very playable.Overall:

Pros:

• Barely any issues
• Great colors
• Good land vehicle for a space theme (the only ones I prefer at the Spy-Trak I and the Mega Core Magnetizer)
• Great parts

Cons:

• Trouble with opening and closing cockpit
• Trouble taking snowshoes on and off the rack.

I recommend this set to any and every Space fan. You will enjoy it, guaranteed. It's nearly flawless.

I got this set off of ebay for a reasonable price, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The aesthetics are very nice- it looks pretty good when the rocket is stored in the docking bay with the crane attached to it.

However when you move the crane you find that the joints aren't even capable of supporting their own weight, much less that of the rocket. I realize they didn't have a preferred alternative at the time, though.

Despite this it has some things going for it; the cockpit snaps into place, the eight-wheel drive is cool, and the aesthetics are great!

All in all this is a nifty set and any Ice Planet fan should snatch it up, since it's one of the best in the theme (though not THE best).

Ice planet is one of my favorite themes, and this set is awesome. Essentially it's an 8-wheeled truck with equipment on the back for launching giant rockets. Although I believe the rockets are meant to be satellites or something like that, it's always more fun to pretend that they're nukes. The colors consist of white, blue, and trans-orange, with a bit of black thrown in. The set has a decent build with nice parts and an awesome minifig. With lots of hinges and moving parts, there's plenty of playability to this set as well. The back tilts to point the rocket straight up for launch. Besides that, there are several tools that clip on the sides for the guy to use.

Overall, this set is great, a classic that is worth tracking down.

This set is awesome! The orange, blue and white color scheme makes it very attractive! The rocket is awesome. It can turn 90 degress and be lifted up to "Launch" the rocket. It doesn't look bad for an eight wheeler! I love how it comes with magnets! There so rare now-a-days. The minigfig is awesome! I love the orange visor. The saw is good! This set sure packs a punch for the price! I highly recamend it!
