“Lego should make more sets like these today. Lego Space was huge for the Lego Company and this is the reason why. This rocket launcher is very cool because it tips up and it is ready to launch. 5 out of 5 for a good set.”

“So, this is a great set to start with if you’re looking into collecting Classic Space sets. You get a good looking vehicle that stands out and is a necessity to any space theme, and 2 great, iconic minifigs. As for the rocket, I think it looks great! It has a detachable... More satellite which can be placed on the transporter or the tip of the rocket, which itself can move up and down.”
