"Most people have been saying that this set costs too much for the amount of elements. What people fail to realize is most of the elements are quite large and seem to require complex moulds. That being said the amount of plastic (weight) to cost is not that different than a $120 set with 1200 small elements. Now being a huge shuttle program fan I have been waiting for this set since I saw the leaked pics in Feb. So much so I MOCed my own crawler/launchpad. I also slightly modified the fuel cell and added extra cylinder elements to the solid rocket boosters to increase their height. I love the set and will be buying another. It is however a little over priced at $119. Maybe $99 would have been better. I blame a weak value of the USD and not Lego for that. That however did not stop me from buying one and planning on picking up another."

"This item is just fine. gives you extra straight pieces and saves money over ordering through the pick-a-brick. Ive never has a problem with the flex track either."
