I just finished building this set now and I must say that it exceeded my expectations quite a bit.
The set has around 10 stickers of various sizes, none of which I have applied, I may choose to apply some at a later date, not sure yet.
I bought the set because it was on sale and because I thought it could have some interesting pieces and be a fun build - despite it honestly looking a bit simple and almost boring on the box.
As I said I was pleasantly surprised, the set comes with lots of different useful parts - and for me, they essentially can be classified as landscaping and mechanical/cybertech.
There's lots and lots of green studs, green bricks of various shapes and sizes, and some other pieces which are of different colours (white and dark grey for example) which are ornate in a way and could be useful in building landscapes. But yes, there's a lot of greenery which I quite like because 'greebling' with foilage and such is something I think is pretty neat.
The other half of the parts all lend themselves really well to mechanical/cybertech builds (e.g. mechs, space cargo shuttles, science labs, etc etc). There's a lot of pieces related to joints and connectors and stuff like that. The mech itself of the set has a lot of articulation. Also there's the fluoro pieces which often add a nice touch to mechs or cybertech mocs and there are the other obvious pieces like the stud shooter things (gatling gun stud shooters, which I wasn't aware about, pretty gnarly) and the "wheel" pieces which are often used as hoverklocki engines. What is important to note as well though is the stuff that you don't get to see unless you build this thing yourself. I am still a lego novice so some of the techniques used in this build may be old news to many of you, and honestly I have no idea what the particular terms or phrases are to describe some of these build techniques they used, but basically, throughout the build I was often pleasantly surprised.
