 Awesome Toy, Still Going After 12 Years Nov 13, 2008
I was so excited to see that they still make and sell this toy. I bought this toy for my son when he was 3. That was back in 1996 and now 12 years later, our 3rd & 4th child are still playing with the same toy. It has never been packed up, it has always been a favorite toy, and we have even been able to find accessory kits for it which have just added to the fun. Nieces and Nephews have also enjoyed playing with it while visiting. It has survived 12 years of just about every kind of play imaginable, it has been dropped down the stairs, brought outside, tossed in the toy box, etc. We have not had any real problems with the toy. One of the doors on the land rover popped off once, but it popped right back on and hasn't come off again. Also the red door that folds down on the side of the building popped off once, but that too, popped back on and has stayed in place. We have had years of enjoyment with this toy.

Inexpensive, but lots of fun Sep 27, 2008
I was hesitant to purchase this item because of the comments regarding how well it was made. No, it's not super high quality, but for the inexpensive price I paid, I think it was well worth it. I bought this for my son for his 3rd birthday and he absolutely loves it!! We also bought a Galactic Heroes X-Wing Star Fighter for him and so far, he prefers the less expensive Space Sation! Incidentally, the Galactic Heroes figures are the perfect size to fit with the Space Station, so he has been playing with both toys together.
Great for imagination but not well made Apr 22, 2008
Our two and four year old boys are enjoying this a great deal - the space theme has obvious appeal, and there are a lot of components allowing for new play options. Importantly, there are two space ships, so if you have two kids it reduces the potential for arguments. However, the quality is not great: 1. Thin plastic - our kids immediately wanted to stand on the roof (as they do with their Little People sets), only to have crackling sounds as the plastic splits. 2. The fit between pieces is not fantastic, eg. astronauts fall inside vehicles, requiring Big Fingered People to extract them. It seems safe, but I won't be surprised if there are pinching incidents from poor-fitting seams (nothing so far tho'). A little pricey for the quality but the kids are happy, so 4 stars!
Awesome Toy - Horrible Quality Apr 08, 2008
This toy was so cute, and my daughter was so excited about it, but almost immediatly it started to fall apart. It comes mostly put together, but there are a few pieces to snap in to place. Unfortunatly, they don't stay in place, they come apart with the slightest touch. The antenna broke off, the windows on the rover and shuttle don't stay closed. Overall, it is super cute, but really cheaply made.
 Cheap Mar 01, 2008
My son got this for his 4th birthday and right away I knew we were going to have to super glue some of the pieces together. Even with the help of the glue this thing is constantly falling apart. Yes, it gets played with, but I expected a much better quality for the money I paid. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this toy. Try the odyssey toys instead.
