No More NASA Space Shuttle: But You Can Own Your Own LEGO Space Shuttle

With NASA putting the space shuttle into retirement the LEGO space shuttle sets will make a great memorial for any LEGO enthusiast. There are several recent sets to choose from, along with older sets that are now selling for higher prices.

LEGO Space Shuttle sets come in various sizes and levels of difficulty. There's everything from a 3" long mini shuttle that comes with the 7467 International Space Station set, to the giant 8480 Technic Space Shuttle from1996 (I owned that one but recently sold it).

Read on to find your perfect LEGO Space Shuttle set.

LEGO Shuttle Expedition 10231

Here's an interesting thing - the LEGO company took note that younger kids were building 10213 Shuttle Adventure even though it was designed for older builders. They decided to rework the set to make it more kid-friendly and sturdy to hold up to play as well as building... and the result is 10231 Shuttle Expedition, with 1230 pieces and many strengthened and reinforced sections. How about that for paying attention to the customer!

LEGO Shuttle Adventure 10213

This is the current large LEGO Space Shuttle set, 17" tall and 10" across the wings. According to reviewers, the set builds well and can be handled by kids a few years younger than the 16 years marked on the box, as long as they have a bit of adult help.

LEGO Space Shuttle 3367

Here's a rather smaller (and much less expensive) rendering of the Space Shuttle in LEGO. This set gives you just the Shuttle, without the fuel tanks, but it does include an opening cargo bay, and a model of the Hubble Space Telescope as cargo, along with one astronaut. I'd call this a very nice set for the price, and very suitable as a display model as well as having good playability. Swoosh!

LEGO Space Center 3368
