Brickipedia
“The Mission Commander is the head of the Space Police I fleet. It carries smaller ships in their fleet, and transports Blacktron prisoners to their Space Isolation base. Despite its enormous size, the spaceship offers little room inside due to the center section housing a... More rack mechanism that opens the storage bay for the truck, doubling as the cockpit for the spaceship.”

Brickset
“I find that many newer sets are way overrated, while many older ones are underrated. This is one of those older ones that just isn't as popular as it would seem. The set itself is great, and is amazingly thoughtful. It has a lot of little features not usually seen in other... More sets. This set is well worth your money.”

“Legendary are the raves about the coolness of the 6986-Mission Commander and I'm here to tell you they are all true! This is an excellent model of all around sturdy construction and lots of moving parts. This is undoubtedly among the best of the large ships Lego has put... More out.”
