Description

A spaceship in pocket size

The space line of the Eighties thrived on clear shapes and a simple play idea: one pilot, one ship, an unknown sky. The shuttle fits that tradition. At 54 pieces it is small enough to land in one hand, yet big enough to give the pilot a canopy and the hull a silhouette of its own. It is no showpiece for the cabinet but a toy that likes to fly across the floor and make engine noises.

Grey, black and two glowing colours

Light grey and black set the basic mood, as you would expect from Classic Space. Trans-red and trans-green are added on engines, lights or canopy parts and give the sober hull a splash of colour. The glowing tones make the ship easy to spot on a shelf. In the parts list on this page you can see which pieces are see-through, so you can check a used copy for scratches on purpose.

Thirty part types and a lone pilot

The 54 pieces cover 30 different types, so a good half of the parts have a shape of their own. That is typical of spaceships, which only take form through special pieces such as wings, slopes and canopy elements. The one minifigure is pilot and crew in one. It suits the theme, because a small shuttle tells of scouting flights where someone travels alone through the dark and finds something new.

Collecting and reusing

Classic Space collectors value small shuttles too, because they show the design language of the line in its purest form. If you are looking for the set, compare the parts list with what is on offer, especially for the see-through pieces. If you already own it, “What can I build?” on this page shows which other ships or vehicles could be made from the same bricks, so the shuttle can take on a very different face one day.
