Space Shuttles have a long and popular history at Lego. Through the years there have been a total of eight Lego sets that have included a space shuttle and on the whole they are some of the brand's best releases. In June 2010 they will add their ninth set to that list with arguably the best of the lot, set 10213, Shuttle Adventure.
Coming in at 1204 pieces and with two astronaut minifigures that can sit in the cockpit, the Shuttle Adventure was created as a Lego Designer exclusive in 2010 to commemorate NASA's decommissioning of the Space Shuttle this year.
The designers of the Lego Shuttle have put alot of thought into this, probably the last, version of the space shuttle and it shows. From the playability of the model to its numerous design features including the way the shuttle demonstrates a forward sloping angle when sitting on its deployed landing gear, the shuttle is a joy to build, play with and display.
With such a large piece count younger fans should note that it is recommended for ages 16+ but as with most sets of this size, experience counts for alot. If kids have had regular experience with Lego then the 16+ age recommendation won't hold much weight. The Space Shuttle Adventure Lego set retails for $99US and is highly recommended.
