This is the 6989-1 Mega Core Magnetizer of the Lego's successful Space series. It was the largest set in the M-Tron sub-theme, and incorporated several revolutionary magnet pieces, that made the M-Tron theme famous.
For me, this was a b**** to build. The color saturation, coupled with the fact that I had to create over 20 separate sub-models for this particular project, was enough to drive me crazy. I must admit that I kind of gave up towards the end, as I did not build the other three vehicles and the tool crate, that this set included, as I had planned. In all, this project took me about 16 hours to build, from start to finish.
