Good model. just hanged it up. the scale doesn't match between the station and the space shuttle is a problem though. LEGO could have easily fixed that before launching.
I was really happy to find out this set was re-released. This is a super impressive model to display. It also has some playability but not as much as the Lunar Lander.
My only concern is the 3rd stage connection with only 2 clips, instead of 4 clips used to secure on the 2nd stage.
I already had the 3rd stage falling down on the floor twice. Once when I was trying to disconnect the 2nd stage without holding on the 3rd stage. Once when I was tilting the rocket a bit without holding on the 3rd stage.
It's a great display piece and with two minifigs it is actually much more playable than I thought. I had a lot of fun posing the two minifigs. Possibilities are endless.
It's a good addition as my room needs a bit of green. A lot of the piece count is on the dirt(200 pieces) and frog(100 pieces) and a lot of the weight is on the wooden stand. The tree itself probably only takes around 150 pieces. All I'm saying is this set could be cheaper.
