A cheap way to build up a group of multiple dark azure astronauts, but every other coloured astronaut uses the same leg and torso. Thus, if you do get multiple, you can have fun with changing the armour colour and helmet.

Aside from the battery placement, the hoverbike is very good-looking with the jet being able to spin 360. The small downside of the colour scheme is the lack of sand blue as it only has two pieces of colour at the back.

While this is a good set, there are noticeable problems, such as consistency, as this, along with set 60429 & 60439 (though the latter has a wheelchair) doesn't have a backpack. The reason for not having this is because of the battery behind the seat. This could maybe be an easy fix by just placing it in the front with a level piece next to it.

The polybag also includes a nice little terrain made of 4 simple pieces, which give you 2 stain trans-purple crystal, a nice thing to get instead of only the vehicle.

It is overall not a perfect, but still a good set and a fantastic cheap way to get the dark azure astronaut, and the satin trans-purple pieces.

Yes, yes, I know this is "only" a polybag-set, but to me, it is well worth a detailed review since it follows in the footsteps of the good old 90s space theme. Back then, we also had sets with less than 50 pieces which still looked pretty cool!

Parts

There are 46 of 'em. What do you expect? We do get two crystals and a cylinder in trans-violet, though, which is nice. Other "special" pieces are the 1x1 round tile with a battery print and perhaps the black thill for gig, that serves as a safety rail for the pilot.

Minifigures

Obviously, there is only one minifigure in this set. It is a female astronaut with a blue helmet with a large visor. Her body is printed on both front and back, the legs have prints to the front. There is no further gear, not even an air tank.

The build

The instructions are printed on a single folded sheet and separated into 12 easy steps. The first two cover the simple patch of rocky surface, the remaining 10 the Hoverbike itself. Everything is super simple and should not take much more than a few minutes to assemble.

The completed model

The Hoverbike has a rather bulky front with a sensor and two spotlights on the middle part. To the front, left and right, are the two main engines, connected via a small arm. Each engine has air inlets to the front and two small exhaust ports to the back. The "cockpit" section has a small joystick for steering and guard rails on both sides, the same concept as with the 1991 Blacktron II Supernova II. Behind the pilot is the place for the vehicle's energy cell.
The additional patch of rocks has a small sloped brick and two crystals.

Overall opinion

This set, while being so small, has a nice swoosh to it and, with that, follows the tradition of other tiny space sets from my beloved 90s era. I like to compare it to sets like the 1995 Spyrius Surveillance Scooter, or the 1998 Insectoids Beta Buzzer. I also like the design, which kinda resembles a compressed podracer from the Star Wars series! The addition of the two extra crystals is also welcome, since these play an integral role in this whole series of sets.
What could have been better is the minifigure. If the vehicle had been just one stud longer, the pilot could have been equipped with a backpack/air tank, which is kinda crucial for a space explorer.
Still, this is a sweet little polybag-set, a perfect gift for space enthusiasts and friends of all things swooshable!

This set reminds me of some kind of Star Wars speeder if it had been designed with a more Star Trek aesthetic. It's functional although seems to have very limited controls.

The minifigure in this set also appears in #60432 but in that set she has a backpack, so if your focus is on collecting the Space minifigures then this set is not necessary. Actually all Space minifigures have backpacks apart from this one and the ones in #60429.

And this is the terrible flaw I mentioned - there is no room for a backpack on this speeder! Just because this version of this minifigure does not have a backpack, it doesn't mean that only backpackless minifigures will want to ride the speeder. The speeder battery can be easily removed to make way for a backpack, but then how will the speeder be powered?
