    Great Space Shuttle

    Written by (TFOL , gold-rated reviewer) in Poland,

    First thing first I'm in love with every kind of space things. This set is no exception. Mostly because it contains perfectly designed space shuttle, but also because of the bri and rest parts of this not so big set.


    Model
    Part I: Space shuttle transport truck


    Main and the biggest model in this set is truck transporting shuttle. First we build shuttle. It looks great. Its design resemble original one you can see in book bout space exploration. It's build in classic black-and-white color scheme. Looks really clean. It has an opening panels, which reveals interior with beam to transport satellite. Model has lot of curves, it's smooth and neat. It has also nice looking engines, which is mounted on side and attached by the clips. I really like this part. At the front there is small canopy windscreen built from three cheese slops. Also attached at side panels at nose gives it extremely sleek look. Shuttle has also three sets of landing gears, which in my opinion look not so well. They are easy to remove, but help in putting it on truck.


    Truck is nothing too fancy, but still looks great. Especially good is its color scheme. It's dark red, with nice set stripes in red and white. It has some kind of classical vibe. Its exhaust pipes are nice too. To the truck we get trailer in dark blue, with special pockets for shuttle gears.


    Last thing in this model is small satellite. Really simple one. Just some part put together. But it makes its work. Has a solar panel and handle to attach inside shuttle. Great plus is that it fit inside without much effort.


    Part II: Helicopter transport truck


    Second model is small copter and truck to transport it. Car is poor in my opinion. It's completely squarish. Has nice designed front grill, but rest looks not finished. It's not the best model we can get. It also looks horribly plain.


    Second part is a copter. I like its colors, but other than that it's not so great. It's bulky, has too wide tail. Side panels are designed nicely. I like the usage of slider plates as rotor. Apart than that, it is a very simple model.


    Part III: Caravan


    Last version of this set is a off-road car with a caravan. This model is brilliant for me. It is a great addition to whole line of cars made by LEGO.
    Car itself is pretty typical. It's 4 stud wide, Has nicely designed hood and back. At the roof it has attached some cargo things of some sort. Color of it's are just great. It is blue on the bottom with single dark stripe at the mask, and with dark red top. I don't like the part in red used in a base of a roof. But apart this little mistake, car is great. At the back there is a couple of clips to attached a caravan.


    Caravan is mostly white, as usual. It has small windows built out of cheese slopes and gray doors with a grill at top. It's nearly round, which is perfect. At the back there are lights and small grill, that should mimic a license plate. Unfortunately caravan cannot stand on its own.

    Parts
    At all there are 341 pieces in here. Most of them are white, which is good. Some has really good, but not as useful colors, like dark red or navy blue. Those addition are fine. There is one gold brick (1x2 w/ bar) some (very few) transparent.


    In this set we get pair of 6x6 wing plates, some new roundish 1x2, many studs with hole. Great thing is huge amount of curved bricks and pieces with studs on side.


    For me parts in this set do a good job, and make this set even more valuable.

    Summary

    • Models are great. Space shuttle is designed perfectly, truck is good.
    • Helicopter looks poor, its truck even worse
    • Caravan and Off-road are adorable. Cute and sweet perfection.
    • Construction process is easy, good for young kids.
    • Mostly white parts, additions in dark red and dark blue
    • Many curve bricks, bricks with studs on side
    • Very useful parts over all
    • Fair price (25$)

    Hope this would be helpful for you.

    PS Who else love easter eggs?

    All in all a nice set

    Written by (AFOL , gold-rated reviewer) in United States,

    For a creative set it's very hard. I had to tear the shuttle down and restart at least once. It come with instructions and parts for two alternate sets. The shuttle and hauler are very nice looking. It has a very nice selection of basic parts. A lof of those parts are very small. i managed to misplace at least one of them.
