Description

A spacecraft with an insect look

In the Insectoids range humans meet aliens whose technology resembles beetles, scorpions and dragonflies. The name Stinger fits: the craft is a menacing spaceship that looks built for attack rather than research. If you like science fiction with a character of its own, this is a model that deliberately stands apart from the smooth spaceships of other space themes and tells a story of its own. The insect motifs are not cute here but alien and faintly threatening.

Dark tones with a neon glow

The palette relies on black, dark grey and blue, with transparent neon green added. That glowing green stands out against the dark hull and reads as energy, canopy glass or venom. With 91 different part types the set is very varied for 256 pieces. That points to many special shapes for wings, weapons and engines, just what you need for a craft with an irregular, alien outline.

Three figures, two sides

With three minifigures you can stage a small conflict between a crew and its opponents. The ship is meant for play and manages without much extra, yet it also looks good on a shelf. For collectors it ranks among the more eye-catching space sets of the late nineties. The mix of aliens and humans offers material for your own stories and links up easily with other sets from the same range to form a larger scene.

Completeness and reuse

In a set with so many different parts it is worth checking the parts list on this page, above all when you buy a used copy, since missing special pieces show up quickly. The What can I build? tool also tells you which other sets you could assemble from your bricks if you take the spaceship apart. The dark pieces are versatile and suit castles, pirates or other science fiction builds. The transparent neon green is rarer, so it is the piece to watch for when you check a copy.
