Description

A ship for the bug side

Galaxy Squad is about space soldiers fighting an alien insect swarm. The Swarm Interceptor belongs on the insects' side: an angular craft designed to cut off the human crews before they can escape. The set was released in 2013 and belongs to the Space theme. At 218 pieces it is a mid-sized model that can be built in a single evening and is ready for space battles as soon as the last brick clicks into place, which is part of its appeal for younger builders.

Dark colours, many details

The palette is mostly sombre. Dark bluish grey and light bluish grey shape the hull, black adds accents, and white provides contrast in a few places. The result looks technical and menacing without becoming cluttered. The variety of parts is remarkable, too: the 218 pieces contain 79 different parts. That points to plenty of specialist elements and small components that are rarely found in such density, so the set is worth a look as a donor of spare parts for fans of space models.

Two figures, plenty of play

Two minifigures are included, so a small showdown is easy to stage. The cockpit and wing surfaces are simple to hold, which makes the craft well suited to being swooshed around the playroom. It also works as a display piece, especially beside other Galaxy Squad sets from the same season. If you want to continue the story, combine the ship with further vehicles from the range and put together a complete space base around it, adding your own scenery as you go along.

Reusing the pieces

The grey and black parts are excellent for your own spaceships, whether as hull plates, engines or antennas. This page offers the complete parts list with all colours. If you already own the set or combine several sets, the “What can I build?” tool shows which further models your pieces allow. A single spaceship can soon turn into a small fleet, and you will not need to buy much extra to get there.
