Box

I guess the space theme for City has been discontinued for quite some time ago before they bring it back again this year. The front of the box art shows the whole set with a nice background while the side shows the actual scale of the astronauts. The back of the box show the playability of this shuttle, a little information about the space shuttle, and ads for another set.

Content

There are two numbered bags of bricks, an instruction book, a loose piece of base plate and a sticker sheet to add some detail onto the plain white shuttle.

Accessory

We do get some extra headgear for the astronaut, especially when he wanted to out of the shuttle in the outer space.

Minifig

We get only one minifig from this set, and he got both side of his torso printed. The print on the body looks good.

Space Shuttle

The front of the space shuttle are printed parts and the design of this shuttle are good as well although it is not that accurate since we cannot demand more customized parts to build a nice shuttle.

The cockpit comes with a two printed slope piece, a monitor and a controller. There is a seat and a mug place inside the cockpit as well. In order to place your minifig, you have to remove the whole piece in front.

The pair of wheel below the space shuttle can rotate 360 degree and it very loose therefore it keeps on rotate by itself. Guess the space shuttle going to crash itself.

The back of the wings are adjustable, for landing I suppose.

Now the payload bay where it keeps the satellite (??), an extendable bar where you attach the satellite to it and the extra helmet for the astronaut. The payload bay can be open.

This yellow bar are adjustable and rotatable. However, when compare with the big shuttle, this is nothing.

And lastly, the helmet that provide life support to the astronaut.

Here's a view of the back of the ship, main engine or thruster.

Extra pieces

Here are the leftover pieces after the assembly process.

Completed model

This is just a small shuttle with an improved design if we were to compare to those that are released in the early days.

I got no idea why I can't get a nice shot out of this set.

Playability: 6/10 There seems to be quite a few functions included in the shuttle.

Building experience: 4/10 It's quite easy to build, recommended for children.

Parts: 4/10 Don't think there is any nice part that comes with this shuttle.

Value for money: 5/10 The price is at the average range.
Overall: 5/10 Recommended for starter and kids, but the price is quite heavy for a kid to afford.
