“Third iteration on the mobile rocket launcher concept. Hoses are a nice touch. Love the rocket tip. The rocket is much more robust compared to the 1978 original. Again, nice to see a computer terminal. Articulated vehicle that carries a rocket on the trailer. Comes with one... More astronaut and a video camera/bazooka and a walkie-talkie for accessories.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“The 6881 Lunar Rocket Launcher set brings back nostalgia with its classic 1980s space theme and vintage minifigure. The set features unique blue elements like the printed grill bricks, rubber tubes, and sloped computer piece, which add a lot of character. Although the rocket cradle design could use some improvements to keep the rocket steady, the overall retro LEGOBILITY make it a fun addition to any collection.”
 

About Space Classic

Classic Space began in 1978, the same year as the LEGO minifigure, and it was one of the first three themes to use it, along with Castle and Town. The astronauts came in red and white at first, with yellow, black and blue added in the 1980s, all in the same suit with the planet logo on the chest and an air tank on the back. Unlike almost every space line after it, Classic Space had no villains, only explorers with rovers, rockets, lunar bases and grey crater baseplates.

Classic consists of 90 sets that ran from 1978 to 2015. As of today, 926 Command Center is the most valuable Classic set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $4,799.

The LEGOLAND Space system has no boundaries. In fascinating crater landscapes little astronauts aboard space scooters bustle about, while giant spaceships never seen before shuttle between the stars. Each model can be taken apart and rebuilt into another one. Just by inventing a little time.
