Fallenangel Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Although the model was designed for a 16+ target audience, our consumer call center has brought to our intention that many younger children have been building and playing with the model. As a result, the Direct team has decided to look at the model once more to see what changes could be made in order to provide a better build and play experience for a slightly younger target audience. Well, now we know why the UCS Executor is the way it is... Quote

Gregorovich Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Well lego list's the Shuttle Expedition on there web site, but all the pics are from the Shuttle Adventure! :wacko: For real pics of the Shuttle expedition click here! Thanks for those photos! The differences they made are nice, especially the fact that the astronauts have hair (the female one only appearing in 1 other set). I'm not going to get this set because it's so expensive, but I still like it. Quote

dr_spock Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I recently brought the updated shuttle i put some pictures up later today with the changes for all to look at. How was the build? Are you able to swoosh it agressively without falling apart? Quote
Oddleaf Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I recently brought the updated shuttle i put some pictures up later today with the changes for all to look at. Here they are. How was the build? Are you able to swoosh it agressively without falling apart? yes its very swoosh able not has much as the City space shuttle but just as good. got some good weight behind it to. but yeah the main fuel tank is very stable and the side boosters. Other notes. the nose cone has been reworked so mini figs can fit in the cockpit more properly. the hanger doors have been reworked with different hinges see photo and the back booster are on different hinges as well and general construction is smooth a simple and bonus the bags are not numbered :).
