REVIEW: 60378 Arctic Explorer Truck and Mobile Lab

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO City Arctic Explorer Truck and Mobile Lab:

 

THE GOOD:

• Of course the Polar Bear Cubs.
• The so called Arctic Explorer Truck (a snow prowler) looks great, love the design on the side.
• The lab also good with surprisingly large space inside.
• Love the use of bucket as the camera lens.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Can't find anything to criticise, the only thing would this being retailer exclusives, which means less discount!

This set caught my eyes with the polar bear cubs, turns out it is actually pretty good.  Since I never have any snow prowling vehicle builds before, it was very refreshing for me.  The design looks great too and I particularly like the exterior texture on the side.  I'm so surprised you can take off the main console like modular buildings.  Which means you can easily replace the top to be a tank lol.  The lab also looks great with the curved edges but I'm impressed with the look of the window.  Interior wise also very spacious and this lab is way better than the lab from the Avatar set.  The Polar bear and the subs are great, including 2 cubs is a surprise.  The polar bears are accompanied by a small terrain build.  The big rock actually hide a green crystal, and I wonder if that is Kryptonite XD. The minifigures have great variety of parts and I love they use of the bucket as camera lens.  To be honest, I couldn't find anything I don't like about this set.  Even the pricing is pretty reasonable.  The only problem is this set can be hard to find as this is a retailer exclusive.  I'm glad it was available on Amazon AU with free shipping to NZ which means I got a even lower price than RRP.  Anyway, I would totally recommend this set to everyone =)
