(Hey, LEGO, here's an idea for '96!)ĭe-orbit burn and reentry went fine, and the shuttle came gently down to land on the pink sand of a desert runway (no one seemed to mind the sand was the same ugly pink color as the ocean the boosters landed in). I stood him on the end of the robot arm, high above the cargo bay, and knew immediately that I would have to build a Hubble space telescope for him to work on. Then the pilot exited the cockpit (the windshield and roof come off easily for access), donned his life support tanks (stored in the cargo bay because the cockpit is too cramped), and took a leisurely EVA. the arm reminds me of the stormtroopers from Star Wars, white tubes attached to black joints. On orbit, the robot arm unfolded neatly to deploy the satellite. flawless MECO, tank jettison, and orbital insertion burn. one booster was nearly lost to an act of cat following its fall into the ocean, but the recovery crew (formerly Fire Rescue) was able to scare her off. a thunderous roar, a pillar of clouds, and the first flight of the LEGO Shuttle was on its way. I was all set for a picture-perfect launch-: no weather criteria constraints, all systems go, no unauthorized airspace violations, the giantĬats had been cleared from the landing field ), all systems were go.

Both crane and rig move forward and back on rails. Includes a tall (about 25 bricks high) red gantry with a crane on top for lifting the components and a rig at its base for supporting the tank/booster combination. Launch pad is built on two baseplates: one full (city) size, green with straight gray roadway the other half-size, rectangular, and all green. Cargo bay holds one satellite and robot arm. As for me, I have a whole new theme to start collecting.Ī white one-person shuttle, white with black heat shield. It appears from the included catalog that the whole Launch Command theme goes together well with few duplications for example, the shuttles in 63 have different fuselage numbers. This set fits into a Town setting better than the current Space themes, mainly because the color scheme is unique. Scale: Mini-Figure scale, fits well into any Town which needs a spaceport. 3 1x1 round plates (white, yellow, clear-red).None, except for a lot of good design ideas.Review Written: 2 February 1995 by Kevin S.
