A wonderful classic — “The Mobile Rocket Launcher is one of those kits that really makes you realize how LEGO became such a great hit. All in all, this is a great kit for its simple sentimental value, and for the complex simplicity of the older kits.”
Full review at brickset.com
“Simple yet functional. LEGO would iterate on the mobile rocket launcher concept several times. This first rocket was fragile and couldn’t even be removed from the launcher without taking it apart (unless you flew it with the gray bracket in the middle).”
