Whoa. Windscreen 6 x 4 x 2 1/3 Bubble Canopy with Handle in light gray x2! Also first time in opaque.

Another must-buy set.

It is nice to include hair piece for Kryptonians with full gear. What surprised me was that TLG supplied two different armor suits for them.

On the other hands, it is good to see something other than helicopter. TLG has introduced too many helicopter recently and I am so sick of it. Looking at the dropship, I thought of 9499 Gungan Sub and couldn't hold to make a comparison. In short, this superman set is a much better value set than Gungan Sub.

Indeed, even different hair pieces!
The set looks great with some interesting build as well..

Should be $40 and not $50 but it's different so that is nice.

And the hair pieces is a nice extra.

The dropship looks kind of...odd. But it's cool nonetheless. So far, the Superheroes line hasn't really taken us 'out of Earth' with its vehicles, so this is a nice change up.

Overall, a great-looking set. This will probably be the one MoS set that I do buy.

There's also the Metropolis showdown 76002.
