Quality Poor but Fun Toy by everlastingstarflower (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania)  3 Stars
January 14, 2009
I bought this toy for my 5-year-old son as a Christmas gift. As soon as we took the toy out of the box, one of the planes was missing some wheels. You couldn't see that the wheels were missing until the box was opened because of the packaging. One week after Christmas, several other space ships/planes have lost their wheels. My son has not been rough with the toys. I purchased two other space sets for him and their durability and quality has been fine. I would consider purchasing the toy again since my son is having such a good time playing with it and since he is able to learn more about space flight as a result of playing with them, however, I think that the construction of the toy in regard to the wheels is poor and needs to be improved.

Not worth the money by Robin Stebbins (Orlando, FL)  1 Stars
January 09, 2009
The picture is very misleading. It makes the space shuttles, etc. seem large when in fact they're all tiny. This is a toy my son circled and wanted Santa to bring and was so excited to get it. As soon as he unwrapped the gift, even he said it was very small. Most items are Matchbox size and made of cheap plastic.

American Space Flight by Sally J. Olson (Florida)  4 Stars
December 13, 2008
My grandson, who is crazy about anything in space, loved the spaceships. They are models of actual American space vehicles, but not very well made. Small parts broke quidkly.

Nice Space Set by onlineshopper 4 Stars
October 09, 2008
This set is very well loved by my son. The set has very nice variety for the space loving kid. The durability is average to good. The only downside I saw to this set is that they are a little smaller than I thought they would be(the largest rocket is about 5", my fault, I should have read the dimensions!) and the price may be a little steep considering the size. I would still buy them though because he loved them and it is still worth the price to get so many different space toys in one box.

poor construction by L. Lawson  2 Stars
January 18, 2008
I bought this for my nephew for Christmas. The wheels on one of the jets were already broken when the box was opened. Fortunately my nephew is autistic and didn't care if the wheels fell off.
