Details of the igloo...

I did wonder if that transparent part could be painted in white to make a more "normal" igloo... but there are also the grids in the bottom.. that'd have to be somehow fixed as well.

The orange antenna is made of that silly soft material, and is bent.

The radar dish is attached directly to it, making it virtually fixed. An odd decision. I supose that may be (easily?) fixed. But it's a shame.

A big plus - the top does come off. This is very important to enable putting it away:

Detail inside:

Looks really nice.

The screen shows a puppy - not sure where though. And the desks are not fixed in place. Oh, goody.

Of course, no set would be complete without blinkies. That thingamagig goes in the middle of the place (not handy at all, I think).

It's supposed to light up, but I didn't try it (we rarely bother with blinky-winkies).

The tube and the crystal (there are several in these sets) come off...

(Kyber crystals? The Sith kind, my sister says, because of the color.)

Ah, yes, speaking of the crystal, there's a hidey hole under a small rock for it, next to a storage space.

I was not impressed with this one (and there is only one - more on this later).

Not happy with the blinky-winky alone, playmobil decided that the set should also have something to shoot . A very poor decision, IMO, that takes from the set and the theme (along with the two odd shooting vehicles that we didn't get).

A real shame they couldn't give us a "peaceful" exploration.

That said... the cannon is gorgeous! I really really like it. It's just completely out of place - like "nipples on a breastplate"!

It does look great - for the space theme! I am sure we can find some other thing to put there - at the very least a small rock. So this is a really easy thing to solve (and we get an "extra" cannon), but it would improve the set sooooo much if it wasn't there.

That "snow bike" is new, it looks great, and is a welcome addition.

The top part lifts, and here is also a detail of the underside. Those rubbery cylinders are awesome to catch all little hairs and dust from any surface. Just sayin'.
