Description

Decoding the series

Collectors of these display sets quickly run into a numbering puzzle. The six sets carry the catalogue codes COMCON004 to COMCON009, but the codes do not line up with the numbers in their names. Set 1 is COMCON004, while set 3, for example, sits at COMCON008. Keeping a small list of name and code pairs makes it much easier to see which entries you still need, and it helps you avoid buying the same set twice under a different label.

Two transparent accents

Black and light bluish grey form the base, while trans-neon green and trans-purple are listed as the other main colours. Two bright transparent shades in a set of 16 pieces give it a livelier look than, say, display sets 5 and 6, which each stick to three main colours. On a shelf that makes it one of the easiest of the series to pick out. It also helps when sorting, since transparent parts in these shades are simple to spot in a mixed tub of bricks.

Three figures, five elements

The 16 pieces come from five unique elements, more than several other entries in the series manage. The build is still very short, and its purpose is clear: to give three minifigures a tidy place to stand. If you prefer display to play, that simplicity is an advantage, because nothing distracts from the figures themselves. Children looking for a vehicle will find more to do in larger sets, but as a compact figure showcase this one does its job well.

Before you buy second-hand

Sets from 2009 are usually found on the second-hand market today, so a quick check is worthwhile. The parts list on this page shows all 16 pieces with colour and quantity alongside the three minifigures. Compare a listing against it before you commit. Afterwards, What can I build? will tell you which other sets your collection, including this one, could already complete, and which would need only a few more parts to finish.
