Review
Growing up, I used to pour over the Lego catalogues. As a young boy interested in spaceships, this big set has always been top of my want list. Alas, parents only willing to buy the smaller sets for me.
Fast forward to the present, I saw this set featured in the 2009 LEGO Book by DK and triggered the desire to own it one day. Finally found a complete and reasonable price set on Bricklink, and here it is!
