This product was great except for the fact that the booster rocket section is made out of plastic (the shuttle is die-cast metal). Since the booster rocket section is plastic, the little posts that snap into the holes in the bottom of the shuttle broke off before we even had it a day. Now the booster rocket section AND launching pad are pretty much useless since my son can no longer attach the shuttle to the booster rockets.

This ship is about the size of a matchbox car, about an inch larger. We've had ours for about 4 months now and it gets a ton of play! Very nice toy, great replica of the real thing. It's amazing the imagination this thing can spark. It went to Mars today! Highly recommend!

This review is from: Space Shuttle with Launch Pad (Toy)

The shuttle itself is die cast but the tanks are plastic and the small pins that hold them to the shuttle broke off immediately when my son removed them. Then, the tail assembly (which is made of metal) fell off as well. No glue we use to put it back together seems to hold it for long. It's very disappointing and unfortunate, because there doesn't seem to be any space shuttle out there with removable tanks that gets good reviews, and my son wants the whole thing, not just the orbiter by itself.
