    Volcano Exploration Base (#60124 RRP: 79.99, 110)

    Science rocks with the Volcano Exploration Base! Featuring a volcano with eruption function, scientists and explorers get to discover the secrets of the lava. Set up the mobile operations centre complete with lab, fly the drone to plan the expedition and then use the excavator and dumper to place the lava' boulders in the rack and break them open to find the crystal elements. The set comes complete with a team of minifigure scientists, adventurers and back-up crew.

    Like the look of the set and the multiple vehicles and the heavy suit guy is class. The drone is a nice touch too. The 'volcano' itself is pretty disappointing. That said, I don't know how you'd improve it besides giving a baseplate and bricks to build a caldera or a lava-covered slope.

    Great write up, loads of pictures too, certainly underselling it as a little review! Very impressed, thanks. Think that set will be a purchase at some point.
