My 4 1/2 year old has loved everything having to do with space since he realized there were moon and stars in the sky. He recently watched Apollo 13 (the edited IMAX version) and LOVED it. This toy really brought to life what was going on. He plays with it for hours. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the Saturn rocket's 3 stages don't fit as tightly as they probably could and so even after a few weeks it began to be wobbly and won't stay together unless setting on a hard surface. The other pieces are just fine.

The product is not as described (as of March 2009). The product description stated that the rocket was die-cast and detachable into separate parts. In the playset we received, the rocket was single piece of hard rubber.

After we called to complain, our vendor explained that the manufacturer changed the product specs and they promptly refunded some of the purchase price. [...]

Hopefully they will update the product description to include the rubber rocket...

We purchased this rocket for a science project for our son. It did not say when we ordered it what the size was. He was unable to use it because it was too small. I would suggest the size be put on line so you can determine whether to purchase it or not. We would not have purchased this rocket if we had known it was only 10" long. It appears larger on line than it is in your hands. It is still sitting in the box. We may give it to our grandson for a Christmas present.
