LEGO® City Space Agency needs you! Prepare for the launch of the Deep Space Rocket from the NASA-inspired launchpad with the scientists and astronauts. Test the rover to ensure it's ready to pick up the geode samples in the training area, while the robot studies the ground for interesting artifacts. Load the telescope onto the rocket for its flight, then get the astronauts to the monorail so they can get on board. Head back to Launch Control and watch the countdown, it's almost time for launch! Pssst! Did you know that this playset is inspired by real-life NASA missions? Cool, right!

Really good, but not quite perfect.

Detailed set which was nice to build. Challenging at the right level for a 6 year old. Described by my son as very creative. However, the only criticism which has been made by others, is the white domed caps for the booster rockets do not stay on at all which is frustrating. If they did fit, then this set would have scored full marks!! It would be good if Lego could review these booster rocket caps.

Awesome space set

I got this set for my 6-year-old son because he is very interested in learning about space. He has built a lot of Lego sets and this one was easy for him. It was a fun build and looks great when displayed. There are lots of things my son loves about this set, like pushing the cars on the monorail system, doing the countdowns and playing with the rover's grappling arm. Overall it's worth the price.

Highly enjoyable build

It's a great looking set, and fun build. Would recommend to anyone. My son is into rockets, and loved building it together with me, and playing most of all with the rocket and launch pad. However, the noses of the boosters (6252260) really come off way too easily. A kid really can't play with the set without constantly losing them. I mean multiple times per minute. And forget about taking off the boosters or attaching them without those noses coming off as well. It would have been so easy to allow these pieces to connect to an axle piece from the inside for absolutely essential extra build integrity. Our set was also missing a piece (6210385) but one can never really be sure if it wasn't lost during the build.

Thank you for your review! If you're ever missing any pieces, we're happy to send them to you via LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV. We're sorry to hear you're having some trouble keeping the noses of the boosters together! Please double check your build to ensure all parts are in the right place, if a piece is slightly off it could result in some instability in the set. If the problem persists, our experts would be happy to take a look over at LEGO.build/Service-BV!

Fuel tank failure

The set would be great, if the nose comes stayed on the booster engines. You look at them and they fall off. It’s kind of annoying.

Initial Build was fun, subsequent builds not so

This set was a gift for my son and it was great to go through the build with him the first time. But as someone mentioned earlier, the caps of the boosters do not stay on. My son plays actively with his Lego sets (as he should!), but these caps don't stay on even when I attempt to place them on the tops of the boosters. One of them just pops back off as soon as it is placed on the booster. I think different parts should be used for the caps rather than what is included.
