Cool Dropship

Posted by james3426 in United States on 27 October 2009

In my opinion, this set is one of the best Mars Mission sets ever! The alien ship has a very original design and can hold two aliens. The dropship is amazing! The cockpit can move, the front lasers can aim in almost any way, has a blunt launcher, adjustable wings, has a crystal container, an alien prison container, and a place to hold the mining vehicle! The mining vehicle has a "drillstaff" as a drill.

pros:
Alien ship
Four aliens
Dropship. (Period)
"Drillstaff"

cons:
NONE!

I recommend this set to anyone, so get this if you get the chance!

A Wonderful Buy

Posted by A1565 in Canada on 28 December 2008

This set is fantastic! As a matter of fact, I wish that I bought 2, but now my local Toys R Us ran out. Shame. But, this is a review, not a popularity analysis, so on with the review. I will review this set in, what else, Pros and Cons table of course.

Alien Vehicle

Pros:
Many Useful parts
Very well designed

Cons:
2 piece aliens

Overall, the alien ship deserved a 4 out of 5.

Small Human Miner

Pros:
Good drill function
Dropship can pick it up

Cons:
Flimsy
Strange Looking
The astro looks like he'll fall out

The miner, which, in my opinion, is the worst part of this set, deserves a 2/5.


And, Finally(Drumroll), The DROPSHIP!

Pros:
Looks Awesome!
Perfect parts for space MOCs
Great Landing Pads
Moveable Wings, engines, forward guns
Dropping function
Spring-Loaded Missile, my favorite LEGO projectile, and possibly the most powerful
Lots of places for extra weapons

Cons:
The much hatred stickers
The Crystal and Alien Pods could be slightly better designed, but that is no big issue
Tail is slightly flimsy if overloaded

The Main ship deserves a 5/5

Overall, this set is a great set for Collecting and as MOCing parts, not to mention display and as a playset, so try to get it before selling out.

A brilliant set!

Posted by Johnnus in Australia on 16 December 2008

despite what any other review states, I think that this is the BEST set of the mars mission series (along with the MB-01, MT-21 and MX-11).
The alien ship is unique and very powerful.

Dropship
Pros:
Clips onto drilling unit
nice weapons
large
cool cockpit

cons:
aliens tend to fall out
cockpit wobbles
rocket tends to randomly fire
engines are annoying to align

drilling unit
pros:
small
clips onto dropship
drill

cons:
crystal storage??!
clip tends to fall off

alien ship
pros:
fits 2 aliens
guns

cons:
doesn't quite stand properly

just a note...
where does the final alien go???

MX-71 Recon Dropship

Pretty good!

Posted by LEGOSystemFREAK on 05 December 2008

This is the second MM set I own,and i have to say,its pretty cool.
So here is the review:
ETX Crystal extractor(thats the name of it from CAC): Even for an alien miner, Its pretty dang good. It also has a unique feel,as it is the only Alien vehicle that doesn't look like the others. But 2 aliens to pilot it? Shame.

MT-01 Mini drilling unit(I gave it the name myself!): Its pretty impressive for a drilling unit. Only flaw is that the drilling arm can't move as much as the one in the ETX Alien strike.

MX-71 Recon Dropship: Pretty much the most amusing Transport. The Blunt Missle shooter is good,since it also was good on other LEGO sets such as Exo-force,Bionicle,etc.
The landing gear is pretty good,as in the storyline it could possibly cling to any surface.
The windsheild on the cockpit could use a bit of work,as it has to be removed completely to switch pilots.
Overall,it is pretty good and worth the $50.
