I really liked this set. I have been a LEGO and NASA fan all my life I thought this set brought so much to the table. I love the launch control center play features. My five year old and I counted down the launch over and over again. The only complaint I had was that the rocket is hard to separate apart, but I understand that with the pieces that make it hard to come apart the rocket would be too flimsy. The track to the launch pad is awesome, and I can't get enough of the arms retracting automatically off the rocket during lift off. So Cool. Awesome set.

Recommendation: meh 81 / 100 by Tom

As far as City sets go, it is not a bad price. However, when compared with LEGO® sets in general, it is not a great value. The build is ok, but could use more detail in certain areas. As far as the Minifigures are concerned, you get a bunch of theme-redundant characters, but a good selection of accessories and a decent brick:fig. My concluding thoughts on this kit are that it is great for play, or great for MOC parts.
