Crystal Collector (Qiji 2407)

About this set

This is KEEPPLEY 2407, Kyanite Squad's Crystal Collector, a sci-fi engineering vehicle set from the Crystal series. The box shows the ENLIGHTEN name, a 309-piece count and a 2/5 difficulty rating. The colour scheme stays tight: yellow, blue, grey and black. The build centres on an engineering truck with a mechanical claw, plus a minifigure, crystal pieces and a rock base that turns the whole thing into a small mining scene. My suggested order is the rock base first, so you lock in the scene height and where the truck sits, then the chassis and claw, and finally the minifig and crystal; that way you can judge the claw-to-crystal distance as you go. Pay attention to the claw arms when you clip them together, and work the claw open and closed a few times before placing the crystal so nothing binds. At 309 pieces and 6+, it is a light build for kids moving from vehicles into small scenes, and the truck shape works as a desk display for collectors too.
