- July 10th, 2019Average rating4out of 5 stars4.0Space and sadnesspcarlos | 45-54I would recommend this to a friend!Purchased for: SelfI wanted to buy this set the minute I saw it! I was a Lego space fan so I think Lego had a good idea here. I had a great time building it, wich, by the way, is fairly easy. However, sadness was waiting for me at the end! My set is missing a piece!! At this price I think this is not admissible. This has never happened to me before with Lego sets.16 July 2019Emily, Customer ServiceOh no! We're sorry you're not ready for lift-off. If that piece isn't stuck in the packaging or hiding somewhere, blast on over to LEGO.build/BricksPieces. It's easy-peasy to request a replacement part.Play ExperienceAverage rating4out of 5 stars4.0Level of DifficultyAverage rating2out of 5 stars2.0Value for MoneyAverage rating4out of 5 stars4.0Build Time: 3 hrsBuilding Experience: Expert LEGO builderWas this helpful?45Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control
- January 31st, 2021Average rating5out of 5 stars5.0Great set with small mistakeGabor1980 | 35-44I would recommend this to a friend!Purchased for: SonHi, I bought this Deep space rocket and launch control set (60228) but the booster rockets' caps (6252260) are just not fit. I tried to turn them around, align the that small "gap" to the rounded plate under them, but they still pop up. Any idea how to fix this?
