Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! Reviews
Brickset
“The completed model is an impressive size: 50cm long and about 35cm wide with wings retracted. It's packed with details and features that can be moved or detached and I reckon it will provide a lot of play opportunities for kids. I particularly like the way Astro Kitty is... More positioned, like an astromech droid on many Star Wars ships. It's larger and more intricate than any original classic space ship but it retains their unmistakable look and colour scheme.”

The Brothers Brick
“My overall impression of this ship is that it was a fun and interesting build, with plenty to hearken back to the Classic Space sets of my youth. The ship has the gray engines, gray wings, blue body, and trans yellow windscreens we all love. It has a little lab inside, a... More radar dish, and some helper robots, just like old times. The set has tons of play features, some interesting construction techniques, and is SWOOSHABLE.”
