About Mission Deep Freeze

A complete sub-theme at a glance

Because the theme is so small, every one of its eight sets appears among the largest models. Ogel's Mountain Fortress (4748-1) leads with 436 pieces, only just ahead of Mobile Command Center (4746-1) at 425. Blizzard Blaster (4770-1) has 305 pieces, Blue Eagle vs. Snow Crawler (4745-1) 257 and Scorpion Orb Launcher (4774-1) 229. The smaller vehicles are Tundra Tracker (4744-1) with 141, Ice Blade (4743-1) with 108 and Chill Speeder (4742-1) with 58.

The end of Alpha Team

Mission Deep Freeze is a sub-theme of Alpha Team and followed Mission Deep Sea, trading the ocean floor for frozen landscapes. Its set names, from Blizzard Blaster to Tundra Tracker, make the setting clear. With one year of releases and only eight boxes, it is one of the easier themes to complete, and the parts lists on each set page show precisely which pieces a rebuild needs. Only a year separates it from the last Mission Deep Sea releases, so the two sub-themes sit naturally side by side on a shelf.
