Box

The box is very thick which is good as you can fit the whole model in after dismantle the wheel. The side shows us the name of the magma monster and the actual scale of it. As for the back, it shows us the function again.

Accessories

This set include us with a neon green crystal and a dynamite, but dynamite was used as flick-fire stuff, so I didn't post it here.

Minifigs

We got Combustix the new magma monster and a miner. Combustix seriously looks good and I like it a lot. Just like the old monster, the mouth can open widely and take in dynamite or even crystal.

As for the miner, he got both side of his torso printed and the leg are printed too. He also have double expression.

They actually done a good job on the minifigs and I prefer the new miners and monster over the old one.

Fire Blaster

I would say the design of this vehicle is very nice. The designer has done a good job after they design badly for the second wave.

The cockpit can be open to place the minifig inside although there is no windscreen and are pretty much danger when it encounter the magma monster.

While on the right of the vehicle are the dynamite launcher.

Extra pieces

This set provide us with a lot of extra pieces too since there are a number of small parts needed in this set.

Completed model

I would say this is one good looking vehicle and the designer has done a great job in making this theme interesting again.

Playability: 6/10 Flick-fire again.
Design : 10/10 The design of the vehicles indeed very attractive.
Price : 6/10 Is quite an expensive set looking at the currency exchange rate.
Overall: 7/10 Nice vehicle, nice minifigs, everything is just right.
