Product Description
Authentically Detailed 10 Piece Set -- Re-create a launch and space voyage from the Complex 39 mobile platform and space shuttle. -- This revolutionary launch site, first established in the 1960's, later became known as the Kennedy Space Center. Realistic details and additions make this full shuttle stack assembly the most authentic space toy set on Earth. -- Set up the die-cast shuttle orbiter and open the shuttle doors to position the manipulator arm. Removable solid rocket boosters and an external tank prepare the shuttle for take off. Pull the command unit vehicle away from the station as you use the included launch countdown display to reveal time left before lift off. -- A removable satellite and shuttle astronauts are included to simulate real space action. When you're ready to return to Earth, prepare the shuttle by positioning the retractable landing gear.

 Great to Play and Display October 27, 2008
I am going to start off by saying that this is not your avarage to. This is a collectors display toy. One that could displayed in an office. The shuttle is dicast, the boosters are removable, the bay doors open, it has the robotic arm that has a removable satellite, has retractable landing gear. The mobile command center truck is made of die cast as well. It has the pull back and go gears to make it move. The Orbitor sits on the famous pad 39/crawler. This is one sweet piece that you don't want to be without. This is also not something you can get at yourWal-Mart, Kmart . . . If you know anyone that follows our space program then this is something they will want to have. I have mine displayed in my office with my Saturn V.
 This is the biggest piece of garbage! April 11, 2007

I purchased this item from the gift shop at the childrens science museum in Cambridge, Ma. Actually, I bought one and opened it for my 3 year old in the museum cafe, and immediately had to exchange it for a new one because it was missing the landing gear on the back right side. The new one lasted a total of 8 minutes before the front wheels broke off. Then three minutes later, the rear left wheel assembly fell apart and was lost. My son loved the shuttle anyway, so we took it back to the hotel, where the very next morning, the plastic peg that holds the orbiter onto the fuel tank snapped off. So here I am with a space shuttle that cost me $32+change, that wont stay on the tank, and is missing two wheels. I know that NASA did not engineer this thing, but I expected more than this from a museum store.
Oh, and all three parts in addition to every piece of the robotic arm/sattelite are choking hazards. Way to go people. It doesn't even make sence to have a metal shuttle while everything else is made from plastic. This is worse quality than those little wax animals that are made in front of your eyes in those 800 degree bubbles at the zoo.
 Fun and easy to play with January 10, 2007
This is a high quality toy and one of my 4 year old son's favorites! He loves to simulate take off by "jettisoning" the solid rock boosters and the external tank. At the same time, it is very easy for him to reassemble on his own - major plus for me! He also loves having the "launch pad" and vehicle for added imaginative play situations. He has spent hours playing with this set and it has even won out over several Star Wars toys.
 Not built for the regular play of 5-9 year old kids January 4, 2007

The Shuttle was a good size, and my son has fun making the booster rockets fall off as it takes off, but I live in fear of the little plastic tabs that hold them on the shuttle breaking off. The set came with no instructions, so I have yet to figure out how the Satellite arm assembles and works. One of the wheels came off the shuttle in the first week (my son specifically requested a Shuttle with wheels, so he could land it). While we were able to get it on, it continues to fall off. They just did not make this "playable" for the kids who would be most interested ... 5-9 year olds.
Cheap, don't waste your money November 7, 2006

The shuttle bay door will fall off in no time. The booster rockets will be next. The ability to stand it up on the launch pad will last a few days at best. And the robot arm is cheap garbage. This is my experience with a 4 year old boy, but it applies to all ages.
