He was extremely excited to receive it and open it up and begin playing with it. My son being only six years old, it fell to me to assemble the majority of this set. I don't mind doing this, as I have always like LEGO toys and still own over 100 sets - most with the original boxes and instructions still intact. Compared to other LEGO sets that my family owns, here's what I think of this set:Positives:This set looks really cool when it is all put together. It is the largest Mars Mission LEGO set and is the base of operations for the Mars astronauts.
The base set offers some pneumatic functionality that is intended to both launch soft foam darts, transport alien test subjects through a tube system, and load the alien prisoners into the main spaceship's prison cells/energy cells. There is a small labrotary area at the top of the base that is for experimentation on the alien test subjects.Negatives:Getting the aliens to slide through the tubes is a challenge for me, so for my six-year-old it's pretty much impossible. Getting the aliens to slide through the tubes and actually load into the ship has proved impossible for both of us. At least the foam darts launched OK.The base is pretty unstable, structurally, as I knew it would be just by looking at it on the packaging. Forget about building this set and leaving it on a carpeted surface. It really neeeds to be kept on a table. Better yet, assemble it and stick it onto two LEGO 15 x 15-inch Building Plates and THEN put it on a table top, shelf, or dresser. I bought a couple of these ahead of time as I knew we'd need them.
Also, by doing this, I stuck a few of the small, spare pieces onto the base plate so my son could see exactly where to put the tail end of the large spaceship so that it wouldlink up well to the base. So far, with gentle play, the base has remained pretty much in one piece by assembling it in this manner. Still, it is not transportable, so you'd better assemble it in the room you want to keep it in, because if you try to move it, you'll break it.The spaceship's canopy is difficult to open which means my son usually has to have help when he wants to put an astronaut into it. Not fun for parents! The spaceship is constructed with a "handle" that sticks out from the bottom of it. In my opinion, this "handle" is entirely unnecessary. It makes the ship no easier to hold, more time-consuming to construct, and reduces the asthetic value of the toy. Generally speaking, I've never found that having a "handle" piece on any LEGO toy is a good idea.Overall, the toy is a nice addition and any completist will want it for their Mars Mission collection, but you need to know that this set has some major flaws to it and is not a real good buy compared to some of the other Mars Mission sets.
Mars Mission - A wrong step for MankindVery cool set, really like the tubesIn Response To the review about the guy who doesn't really understand what Mars Mission is aboutLego Mars Mb-01 Eagle Command Base 7690To the guy who doesn't understand the REAL Mars Mission story. Mars Mission is about how Astronauts (like NASA) go to explore Mars in search of rare and unknown substances, and if there is really life on Mars, which that is still a mystery. If you can go onto the Lego website and go to "Games" and play "CrystAlien Conflict" you will see in the first cutscene (or second) that when the astronauts arrive, they are mining Energy Crystals, and they have set up camp (Eagle Command Base). An Astronaut then encounters a lone alien, and waves a white flag for peace, though the alien does not care or understand, and proceeds to fire is Energy Rifle at the unarmed Astronaut. The Astros then see the aliens as a threat to not only them, but their mining operations and have to transform their mining vehicles into Assault/Defense vehicles and aircraft, etc.
So, it was actually the ALIENS who started this. Astros didn't do ANYTHING wrong. (Okay, maybe except for mining their Energy Crystals without their permission). BUT THEY NEED THE CRYSTALS TO SURVIVE! (Both Astros and Aliens).Wonderful gift for my 8 year old sonWorth the smile and enjoyment of my son!7690 MB-01 Eagle Command Base is a Mars Mission set released in 2007.
