Insights

Released decades ago and retired, Mobile Rocket Launcher, a Classic Space set with a US-numbered counterpart to 897, draws steady nostalgia-driven interest for its classic spaceman minifigure and scarce sealed supply, and it trades with long-term appreciation but thin-market volatility and condition sensitivity.

Set Facts

The set includes two astronaut minifigures, a vehicle, a trailer, a rocket, a computer console, and a radar dish.
This set was only available in the US, where it was sold instead of the identical set 897 Launcher that was released in other regions.

Brickset

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).”
