" I've built at least 3 or 4 Lego shuttles over the years and while this is of impressive size it feels unfinished. The photographs of it are taken on ideal angles. Holding it in your hand you just get the feeling it's missing something. I can add some customization but it's very blah. The bottom is just flat plates. It doesn't even rest on rounded flat pieces, let alone some sort of landing gear. I'll probably throw on some of the old airplane wheels from older sets, just so it doesn't feel like it's laying on the floor or shelf.
Also, of all the Lego shuttles the cargo bay doors are difficult to close easily. I've been back and forth and can't seem to prevent it from getting stuck when I got to close it.
Finally, there is plenty of room in the cargo bay, would have been nice for a place to hold the astronaut's "space suit" and wrench for when we put him in the cockpit. As is I have them just laying in there.

" A set that costs as much as this shouldn't come with over one hundred stickers. Every single Maersk logo on each "Container" is a sticker. Worse, there isn't even a single extra sticker- so you better get all hundred or so perfectly correct on the first try, every time.
Very disappointed, this was not well thought out.
Also be warned the container stacks aren't connected to anything, they just site on the rails. Turn the ship too much and they fall off- I guess that could be argued is for realism although I will use some extra bricks I have to keep them in place better.
The build is repetitive but.you can tell that when you see the picture- I don't mind it, just be aware in case you didn't notice.
Pieces are separated into 3 sets of numbered bags so does not need a lot of room to build.

" I enjoyed this set but it is a little small when compared to the other modulars. It would be so much better with an extra level. Personally I much prefer larger buildings with less interior detail. The ability to sneak in hidden cookies is really lost on me. As an adult my hands physically could not fit into the barbershop to place or move minifigures- it wasn't even close. I had to take down a wall to get my hand in there. If you're an adult be sure you place the minifigs before you finish building the level. Overall it is good but not great. Great was the Pet Shop, the Cinema, and even the Grand Emporium.
"
I would recommend this to a friend!
