This set is the largest set of the LEGO® Rock Raider theme ever made. It comes with most of the characters except Axel. The monster is also very cool. The whole creature is just one big piece, and it's a rare piece to find. This set includes a dump truck as well, and you won't have to worry about stickers.
The whole base rests on a big baseplate, and we get lot's of play features. We get a crane which sviwels full 360°, we get a place to cut the rocks with a laser, we get a big laser canon which does light up (I'm not sure if this set does come with batteries) and a platform where the little speeder fits in. We also get a monorail which can drop the rocks onto the dump truck. Some of those buildings, like the crane or the laser canon, also appear in the LEGO® Rock Raiders videogame. It's a great set to play with and it's very sturdy. The build of that base was not that hard for me to put together, but I enjoyed building this set.
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
I bought this product myself. Nothing has been sponsored by the LEGO® group or by third parties.
