About Discovery
Moon, orbit and Mars
The line-up reads like a short history of spaceflight. Saturn V Moon Mission (7468-1, 179 pieces) and Lunar Lander (10029-1, 469 pieces) look back to the Moon landings. Space Shuttle Discovery (7470-1) with 827 pieces and International Space Station (7467-1) with 164 pieces cover work in Earth orbit. Mission to Mars (7469-1, 418 pieces) and the Mars Exploration Rover (7471-1) look further out: the rover is the largest set in the theme at 865 pieces.
The two kits
Two further entries, Space Exploration Kit (K7467-1) and Discovery Space Kit (K7471-1), are recorded with 0 pieces, so they have no parts list of their own. Their set numbers match individual sets in the theme, whose pages list every part. For anyone interested in the real missions as much as in building, this compact theme is a good match, and with eight entries it is also easy to collect in full. If you want to rebuild one of the larger models, the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria compares its parts list with your own bricks and shows what is still missing.
