I've bougth this toy for my kid and he likes it pretty much. Yet, there are some small inconveniences that I want to point out:
- there is one issue with the cargo bay door (the manufacturer has chosen an unfortunate/cheap solution for this door): there is no locking mechanism and everytime the shuttle stands on the launching pad the door stays mostly open. Sometimes my kid gets annoyed by this as he does not succeed every time to make stay shut;
- another issue is with the painting of the truck: most probably during transportation, the blue painting that is on the truck got also on the shuttle wing and engine;

Overall I would say it is a good toy but small improvements would have made it much nicer.

My 4-year old loves this toy. He is fascinated by anything space-related, and I figured it would be a good idea to mix in a few toys of vehicles that actually exist. He seems to get more a thrill out of seeing space shuttles on TV after playing with this, and is obsessed with the functionality of each part.

The toy isn't terribly well made however. The doors look like they will break off eventually, and it has already lost a wheel. The booster rockets may also separate at some point.

Still, I think this is worth considering. Even if it doesn't last forever, my son has already enjoyed it enough to justify the cost.

I am quite disappointed by the connection between space shuttle and tank/boosters. It is really not holding when my son is playing with it, and i beleive that by trying to put back it will wear ( or even broke ) and it won't even be possible to keep them togheter on the launch pad.

Good thing, quite realsitic is the folding landing gears, allowing to simulate/play the re-entry and landing.

Small pieces that break off easily. If you have a kid that actually wants to PLAY with a toy - this is NOT the toy for them. Better suited to just look at but what kid wants to do that?
