For the Benefit of All

A few months back, the NASA shuttle program ended. In response, Lego released 2 shuttle models (in addition to the one in 1990, 1991, two in 1995, 1996, 1999, two in 2003, and another in 2010). The first is an extension of the Lego city series.

231 pieces...Lego please.

The second is a re-release of the 2010 set

quiver and awe
Guess which one Mo got me for my birthday.

yes.
it takes 2 (!) booklets.
first you build a little car?
This was so cool I added a Facebook Album for it
It took about 2 days to build, maybe about 8 hours total. I was too involved to do much more than build, vaguely watch some Mythbusters, and take photos.

So, this maybe the last time my birthday matters...but it was very, very cool.

The tanks detach and the shuttle opens.
