LEGO Creator Shuttle Adventure (10213)

I inadvertently got this for my four year-old son, which is what happens if you don't bother reading product descriptions. It is rated at 14+, but with careful supervision and a lot of patience my boy and I were able to build this and had a heck of a lot of fun doing so.There are a LOT of pieces, but the instructions are crystal clear and, so long as you take your time and are careful, it really is a pleasure to build this shuttle. Overall it took three full days of building, no doubt slowed significantly by working with such a young age. However, it never felt like a drag or anything other than fun. Once built my son has played with it continually, and the worst he has managed is to pop off the tailpiece, which is simple enough to put back in place.We flew to the West Coast of Canada a few days ago, the assembled shuttle carefully put into a suitcase. When we opened the case at our destination, only the tail and two boosters had come adrift, and were reinstalled in seconds. That's a good a pretty good indicator of how robust this set is.

I purchased lego space shuttle but had a slight mix up with supplier on the one i received , but all credit to Click a Brick toys as they gave me a full refund and covered the cost of return postage with no quibble. Many thanks to them for there professional service.

Probably the best present I have ever bought for my HUSBAND (the children aren't allowed to touch it...) I was very much in the good books with this Christmas gift

all the pieces were in the box - I was a little concerned as the packaging was dammaged, the finished model looks very good

Great toy, holds together well unlike some Lego models (Star Wars stuff for example), has plenty of play value with working undercarriage, bay doors, robot arm and satellite. Cockpit roof detaches to allow access to the two pilot minifigs, and the boosters and fuel tank are easily attached and detached for launches and orbits.Really don't understand why this is not for sale to under 16s, I built it with my five year old, who did 95% of the work, it's a great little kit that a space obsessed child of ANY age would enjoy building and playing with. I suppose it took a few hours, but as with all Lego it's time well spent.

Seen it, not built it, but it is on my grandaughter's Christmas list so I just wanted to advise other buyers that it is way cheaper from Lego direct (£82), with FREE delivery, like most big Lego sets you see on Amazon!
