Crater Creeper

"With a BrickScore of 63.0, the Crater Creeper earns its Mixed Reviews label: the alien minifigures and hovercraft deliver real value, but expert opinion is genuinely divided on whether the creature's unfinished aesthetics and limited articulation hold up their end of the $19.99 original price."

The Crater Creeper (70706) lands squarely in Mixed Reviews territory, with a sharp split between Brickset's measured positive take and JANG's pointed criticism that it is his least favorite Galaxy Squad set. Both reviewers agree the minifigures, particularly the Buggoid alien, are a highlight and that the included hovercraft adds unexpected charm. Where they diverge is on the creature itself: Brickset found the snapping mandible mechanism and SNOT techniques praiseworthy for a display piece, while JANG found the overall design unfinished, visually inconsistent, and short on play value. Owner data is extremely thin at only 3 LEGO.com ratings averaging 4.5, not enough to override the critical split.

Where they split: The reviewer split is the defining feature of this set's record. Brickset scored it 80 and recommended a buy, finding the snapping feature and display merits worthwhile. JANG scored it 45 and recommended skipping it, calling it his least favorite Galaxy Squad set for its unfinished look and design inconsistencies. The BrickScore of 63 reflects that honest disagreement.
