This review is from: LEGO Discovery: Space Shuttle Discovery (Toy)

The price for this set is now extremely inflated. If you're a classic lego set collector, fine, keep paying these inflated prices. If you're a parent, looking for a set for your child, you should know that there is a newer version of this set (Lego Shuttle Creator 10213) that has more pieces for about half of this price.

Hope that helps!

4.0 out of 5 stars what I think, December 26, 2003

This review is from: LEGO Discovery: Space Shuttle Discovery (Toy)

I think this toy is a lot of fun, and I am amazed at how real it looks. I think the only bad part is the three engines come off pretty easily, otherwise it is great fun and you can just fit a mini figure in with a small helmet . The Hubble Telescope is also very fun.
