The Brothers Brick
“The set has so many strong points and features, it almost feels silly to criticize it for any reason. Of course, some builds are a little bit weak and the design team could have included a couple more minifigure accessories.”
Full review at www.brothers-brick.com
True North Bricks
“If you compare Space Research and Development to the Collectible Minifigure Series, you are getting a good value for each Minifigure in the box. Additionally, the characters and builds are fun, and science based. This set loses points for me because the characters are not... More unique. If you plan to collect many of the kits in the Mission to Mars theme, you will get variants of all of these characters. That negates the need to acquire this people pack.”

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.
