True North Bricks
“As far as City sets go, it is not a bad price. However, when compared with LEGO® sets in general, it is not a great value. The build is ok, but could use more detail in certain areas. As far as the Minifigures are concerned, you get a bunch of theme-redundant characters, but... More a good selection of accessories and a decent brick:fig. My concluding thoughts on this kit are that it is great for play, or great for MOC parts.”

The Rambling Brick
“As a general play set, I give 60228 Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control 4 arbitrary praise units out of five. The launch control has some great play features, and the monorail shows immense potential. But, putting together a number of sub builds, with extremely clever play... More features, takes time. There is so much playability in this set, and for me, it hits all those great nostalgic notes.”

About City Space

City Space brings LEGO City off the planet, with rockets, shuttles, rovers and space stations closer to real space travel than the science fiction of most LEGO space themes. It started in 2011 with a space shuttle and a launch center. The 2019 sets were made with advice from NASA and centred on the exploration of Mars, and the 2022 sets went back to the Moon with a lunar base and rover inspired by NASA's Artemis program. The 2024 sets moved further out, with a modular space station, an interstellar spaceship, mechs and alien life. Many of the larger sets have opening sections and modules that can be rearranged.

Space currently consists of 28 sets that as of now has run from 2011 to 2025. As of today, 60351 Rocket Launch Center is the most valuable Space set with an estimated new/sealed value of $196.
