Description

A vehicle from the M:Tron universe

M:Tron was a space line built around magnetic power and futuristic vehicles. The Vector Detector fits that picture: a small craft of 62 pieces with one minifigure to act as pilot or researcher. The name hints at tracking and measuring, but what the vehicle actually does is left to your imagination. As a small set it goes together quickly and looks good on display, especially next to other pieces from the same space range.

Neon against a dark backdrop

Red and black form the framework, light grey supplies the technical surfaces, and trans-neon green provides the eye-catcher. That combination gives the set a distinctive look that still appeals to fans of the classic space themes. Under dark lighting or on a dark shelf, the glowing pieces really stand out and lift the vehicle above the rest of a crowded collection. Few small sets of this age have such a recognisable colour accent.

35 kinds in a tight space

Of the 62 pieces, 35 are different kinds, a high proportion. Hardly any brick repeats, and many elements have special shapes. Our parts list gives each kind with colour and quantity. With so many individual parts, a check is worthwhile when you buy a second-hand copy or want to fill a gap, because the rarer transparent pieces are usually the first to go missing from a used set, and they are the hardest to replace.

Taking it further

The blend of special parts and basic bricks makes the set interesting for your own space vehicles. Red and grey elements make a good base, while the neon green adds accents. Use “What can I build?” to see which further models you could make with your collection combined with this set. You might end up with a small fleet that matches other classic space sets and shuttles between a moon base and a research station.
