Space Base and Rocket Launchpad Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“60434 Space Base and Rocket Launchpad is, as the name suggests, more than just the one thing, offering up a fairly substantial central space base build alongside an equally fairly large launchpad with spaceship resting on it. Alongside these two main builds comes a mini... More build of some terrain and a small four-wheeled vehicle in which any of the six minifigures can traverse, once it’s been loaded up with something from the working crane that’s very cleverly built into the central column of the base.”

“I think this is exactly the kind of direction I want from a LEGO Space theme. There's clearly lots of fresh ideas but done with reverence to past LEGO Space themes. Just look at this Minifigure line-up. There's so much new-ness in it but it all gives you those... More nostalgia-warms we want.”
