Space Base and Rocket Launchpad

Space Base and Rocket Launchpad is one of the bigger sets in the current LEGO® City Space lineup, bringing together a launch tower, a control building and a small fleet of vehicles. With 1,424 pieces across 370 unique parts, there's a proper amount of building here, and nine minifigures give the scene a full mission crew rather than a single astronaut. It works well as a standalone display or as the anchor for a wider City space collection.

Description

The launch tower

The centrepiece is a multi-stage rocket standing on a detailed launch tower, with a scaffold-like support structure, gantry sections and warning markings that echo real launch pads. The rocket itself splits into separate stages, so parts of it can be removed or repositioned as if preparing for lift-off. Small touches such as antennae and access platforms around the base add a level of detail that holds up well even without the rest of the set around it. On its own, the tower and rocket make a solid focal piece for any space-themed shelf.

Mission control and support vehicles

Alongside the launch tower sits a mission control building, fitted out with screens, control panels and a roof-mounted antenna for tracking the rocket. A support vehicle for hauling equipment and a smaller rover round out the fleet, covering both the technical side of a launch and exploration once the mission is under way. Having a static building alongside moveable vehicles means the set supports a few different play scenarios, from countdown to touchdown, and pairs easily with other LEGO® City Space sets already on the shelf.

A crew of nine

Nine minifigures is a generous crew for a set this size, including astronauts in spacesuits, technicians at the control panels and ground staff overseeing the launch. Each figure carries slightly different gear and printing, which makes it straightforward to give everyone a distinct job in the scene rather than treating them as interchangeable. That's particularly useful for anyone who prefers building out a whole team story rather than focusing on one central character.

Grey, white and black throughout

Colours stay deliberately functional: white and black cover most of the rocket and tower, while dark and light bluish grey handle the ground vehicles, structural framing and smaller details. The result reads as a coherent, realistic space facility rather than a brightly themed toy. With 370 unique parts among the 1,424 total, the parts list on this page is worth checking if you're after specific grey tones for other space builds.
