4.0 out of 5 stars Space Nostalgia, April 6, 2007

By	A Mother of Two (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews

I ordered this for my 4 year-old who was showing an interest in outer space and astronauts, etc. He enjoys showing the set to the neighbor kids, and their parents. The details are fabulous for such an inexpensive toy as this. However, I have two HUGE GRIPES, but would still recommend this toy for purchase. First, the pieces are NOT TO SCALE. So from an educational standpoint, I'm still having trouble trying to explain that the 4 astronauts included (approx. 1" tall each) actually sat in the service, command and lunar modules (approx. 1-2" tall each), and the modules were actually inside the tip of the Saturn V rocket (approx 1/4" space in a 5" rocket). There is a separate command module piece that's about the size of a 2-liter soda bottle cap, and this is bigger than the command module attached to the servide module in another piece. The communications center truck is bigger than the space shuttle, but the shuttle does sit on the Boeing 747(?), but doesn't snap on so the shuttle falls off "in flight," and the two booster rockets and orange external fuel tank for the shuttle are not included. You get the idea...Secondly, there was NO GUIDE BOOK included to explain what each piece is!! So growing up during the manned space flights program, I had to rely on my memory for what piece was what, and I must say, I did damn good. I then ordered [ASIN:0753451336 The Best Book of Spaceships]and that finally helped in validating my explanations. We promised to visit Cape Canaveral one day so that my son can see how big some of these items really were. The pieces are somewhat fragile, so if your child likes to manhandle toys, I'd probably order something more durable. But my 4 yr-old hasn't broken or lost anything--yet, after nearly a month.

Large Space Mission Set, 20 piece with Shuttle and Vehicles

My 4-year-old grandson is very interested in space activities, so I got him this set for his birthday. His (dictated) thank-you note to me says "I play with it every day". However, the set lacks any insert that would give some information about the pieces. Following the lead of another reviewer, I ordered a children's space book to accompany the gift; but after several weeks, it still seems to be back ordered.

2.0 out of 5 stars great idea that falls short, February 7, 2009

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

the pieces of this toy break fairly easily. While the whole idea is great....all together, they just fall short.

Granted, my little boy is only 5...maybe a bit rough on things, but still. The plane is his favorite, the rest just clutter up his room.
