The most important bit of info about this set: these are *toys*. They aren’t intended for people looking for high-quality models. .I bought these to create a “rocket farm” display on my desk at work. They look cool from arms’ length, and should stand up to being picked up, fiddled with, and whatnot.If you are looking for good replicas of these rockets, look elsewhere.The good:They look cool.Wheels actually roll on the X-15, X-20, and X-24A.The semi-flexible plastic of the rockets will keep the points from breaking off.The not-so good (issues that I see that will bother a perfectionist):The Redstone, Atlas, Titan, and Saturn rockets are made of a slightly-flexible plastic — and they are ALL bent.The paint jobs on the Redstone, and Saturn have registration issues.The X-38 and Enterprise shuttle have “United states” — with small s in “states” — on both sides.The big orange tank on Atlantis is pink at the tip and brown for most of the body.The Titan cannot stand upright.As casual toys, these are probably fine. But kids who are really into rockets may be disappointed.

These are kinda like hot wheel sized rockets and spacecraft. They are going to a birthday present for our son but we took them out to make sure they were sturdy. These are very nice and reasonably priced compared to other items we saw on the internet. Space is so cool for our little guy and this set has many pieces. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I’ve always wanted toys of real spacecrafts. While not detailed, this is good enough.

Great well rounded Space Set. Only downside was that the thin diameter sections were slightly warped: typical of ‘short cycle molding’ where additional ‘cure time’ should have been invoked.

As most have probably pointed out, the main ships in this set–the Titan II, Atlas, SLS, and Saturn V are badly molded and half-a$$ed painted. The others, including the Space Shuttle, aren’t quite bad and suitable for display among my sets of ships. Still, one can tell this is a cheap set for dollar store purchase. Unless you’re a child getting interested in America’s space program, I would not recommend.

Each spacecraft is small and thin. Many have bent/curved pieces and the paint job is not great.I bought it for my kid. Will a toddler care? Doubtful, but I’m not impressed.
