Box
Again, this is a small set with little content and of course a very small box. I don't really like the box art much, but only the background while at the side of it we got a minifigs scale while at the back of it are warnings.

Just in case you are not planning to display the model, you can just keep it back in box without dismantling it.

Content

Inside the small box are a packet of bricks and a small instruction sheet. Instruction sheet contains parts number at the side of the building steps and advertisement of other impulse sets.

Minifig
The minifigs got both side of his torso printed, the leg is printed too. Just in case you only want the minifig, you can buy this set instead of the space truck which give the same minifig. Anyway the headgear is unique, just that it is without visor.

Headgear Minifig Minifig 1

You can apply the visor yourself and since it is not included, you can use the extra visor from K-9 Bot (#8399) and it will turn out perfect.

Space speeder
I'm a little impress that the designer can create a space speeder with this few pieces, but it turn out be real ugly. (--") The handle can be fold just to save space.

There's nothing much to do with this space speeder, the only thing that is playable is the handle. Anyway, this is the ugliest impulse up to date.

Extra pieces
We got three extra piece of bricks left after the process of assembling this set is done and here they are:

Completed model
Here's the completed set, and it turns out to be. . . well you know it, I know it. But luckily, the minifig's headgear save the day.

Complete set

Playability: 4/10 Handle that can be folded is nothing special.
Design : 4/10 Ugly space speeder it is.
Price : 8/10 The price is cheap.
Overall: 5/10 Lack of playability and ugly speeder.
