Overall great rocket and a nice addition to put alongside 6456.

I actually got this set via bricklink so that I could have finished my collection of Launch Command and Space Port. When I saw this set, I was thinking to myself of why does a rocket have a mini-fig if you cannot place the mini-fig inside the rocket...I was confused. After I got the set, I realized that you can and I laughed. The sound is great and so is the "tip" which becomes an independent satellite. Plus, if you fix the middle section a little, it fits with the Space Port shuttle as well.

The sound feature is really cool. The mini fig. fits nicely in the capsle. This is a fun set to play with, fairly easy to build. I have had it since it first came out and due to its quality, I picked up alot of other Space Port sets.

It' s really FANTASTIC !!!
Because the astronaut can enter the rocket and when it takes off, the noise of the engine is heard !!!And the rocket can be even demolished in several part, as in truth!!!!

This is a very cool set to have, and it's fun to play with as well.

Instructions

The instructions have 20 pages and there're no mistakes in them.

Parts

This set has 133 pieces, and it was 20 USD when it was on sale. That means that the price per piece ratio was 15 cents per piece, which is perfect value for what we got here.

Minifigures

The astronaut has white overalls, a white helmet, a golden visor and a headset on his face. It's a very cool minifig to have.

The build

The build is very nice and easy, and we also get a few stickers to put on.

The completed model

This set comes with a very nice looking launch pad and a very cool looking rocket as well. We also get an asteroid which has a nice looking crystal piece in it which we've seen in the LEGO® Power Miners and Rock Raiders theme a lot. The rocket has some wings on the top which can be adjusted. The stickers look very attractive, too. The back has an engine which you can light up if you push one of the 3 buttons. You will also hear 3 different noises. The cockpit in the middle can be opened as well. I really can't complain about this model.

Summary

All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure. Here is the link where you can check out the full gallery I made for this set on my website: www.klokriecher.de
