LEGO Space Shuttle 3367

If you're looking for a cheap lego set to give as a Christmas gift, this one's a great choice.  For under $25, you can hardly go wrong with this shuttle set.  Click on the space shuttle picture below for the best price on the web that I could find.  And with Amazon, shipping is FREE when you spend over $25.

This space shuttle set consists of 231 pieces and is rated for children between the ages of 5 and 12.  It's a unique little set that is an affordable option for those looking for a great Christmas gift.  In addition to the 200+ pieces, the lego set also comes with an astronaut in a space suit and a Huble Space Telescope.

The shuttle itself has a cargo bay with doors that can be opened and closed.  The Huble telescope sits within this bay and can be launched via the Canadian arm that is included in the set.  With around 200 lego pieces, it's a set that can be put togther pretty quickly by a skilled lego builder, but don't let this deter you as the functionality of the set will be appreciated by whoever is receiving the set because there's so much more you can do with the shuttle after it is put together.  Sometimes LEGO sets are put together and then left on the shelf to collect dust for months on end.  Not with this set!  It's a functioning space shuttle that can be used on play "missions" many times over.

If you're thinking that this set seems a bit small for a Christmas gift, maybe you should consider it for a stocking stuffer.  If you can find a way to fit the box into a stocking, I can guaratee that you'll have a smiling little kid of your hand when it comes time to empty the stockings.

In researching reviews for this LEGO set, I found that the vast majority of the purchasers rated the set as 5 out of 5 stars.  One of the comments that stood out to me was the detail that Lego put into this shuttle set.  Not only is the detail tremendous, the instruction guides from LEGO are always first class.  They are some of the most detailed building instructions you'll find for anything, regardless if it's just a toy.

LEGO has always produced quality products and this set continues in that tradition.  You won't have to worry about a poorly made product when buying from LEGO because I have yet to see one.
