LEGO City Space Mars Research Shuttle 60226 Space Shuttle Building Kit

Our Grandchildren love Legos. When he opened the package, he said this is just what I wanted. It is made well and the size of it is what the illustration states.

I bought this for my 5-year-old son, who is totally mad for all things space at the moment. We put it together in three small sessions across a couple of days, and he was able to do almost all of the building himself with very little help. He was very proud of being able to assemble it! The end result is a great little set and really good value for money. The inclusion of a rover, geodes, two drones an two astronauts alongside the main shuttle means there is a lot of potential for imaginiative play. The builds are also fairly sturdy, although we have had issues with the boosters falling off the shuttle during play and the bay hatch catching on closing.

My son loves this lego set.

I bought this for my grandson who is eight years old and he loves it! He was able to put it together by himself following the directions included in the box. I think this purchase was a good value. We also bought two different Mars posters to add a backdrop for playtime.

Best gift to cheer up an 8 year old

Great Lego set! Shuttle is a nice build- not too easy or hard, great sized set. Lots of room inside shuttle for minifigs. Accessory pieces are really cool as well!

This Lego set is out of stock on official website. Compared the price and service of various store, I decide to buy it on Walmart. The Lego arrived in short time and was packaged well. It would be a perfect gift for my little Lego lover's birthday.

I like playing with my Lego Space Shuttle. It took me a long time to finish it . I like playing with it because it is really fun and it can carry a mini drone and it show's some pictures off outer space which I can learn from.

Can legos even get a lower review? They're just the best and we can't get enough of them! This set is awesome with all the little accessory builds, and my sons LOVE it!

Relaxed build over 2-3 hours with some background movie watching, then dismantled it and rebuilt it with my niece of 4 and grandfather the next day and we all had a blast! (Thrilled to bits to see my niece thoroughly enjoy her first taste of Lego!) The set design is wonderful, a number of sections I found to be particularly clever in their design and it's a delight to build. The stickers and off-axis parts like the engines and wingtips give it a ton of flair, really adding to the already existing details and the shuttle alone would make for a great display model. The inclusion of the rover and tiny drone are a pleasant bonus. Lego at this time is very much a luxury for the big kid that is me, it's something I can afford but rarely, so I'm picky with which sets I generally go for and I must say absolutely that this set is fantastic value for money. You will end up with, as mentioned, a great, and surprisingly sizeable display piece with oodles of character. Should you wish to break it back down again, there are plenty of unique and useful bricks that can augment other space sets or create something new entirely, I am still exploring the rebuildability of this set and I'm excited by the possibilities! I had to dock (pun intended) one star from the final score, as I do feel there are a few minor and/or subjective cons to this set. My first is the landing gears, I feel they're far too small (I think I am not the first to mention this) and somewhat fragile-feeling. The cockpit canopy could in my opinion be designed to affix more securely, or with some kind of hinge system (It's affixed via the white 2x2-pin wedge on the nose) as it's a touch wobbly-feeling overall. And lastly the grip of the rover's claw doesn't really interact too well with the things it's supposed to, for me at least, and it's difficult to get a good grip on the samples for example for display or play purposes and that for me does bring down its play experience *ever* so slightly. I say this after having to go hunting for a sample brick that pinged-off and under furniture! :P Overall a solid 9/10 set. Great design, satisfying build, tons of play value and great value for money makes this a worthwhile set to grab for those looking to start their City/Space collection!
