About Launch Command

Space exploration from the town's point of view

Where the space themes of the time were set among distant planets, Launch Command stays firmly on Earth. The sets show the infrastructure behind a launch: the pad itself, a transporter to move the orbiter and the emergency vehicles that stand by in case something goes wrong. Because it uses the same road-based world as the rest of Town, it slots neatly into an existing city layout. The whole range appeared in a single year, 1995. For fans of real-world spaceflight it is one of the earliest attempts to give the shuttle a proper home within the city line.

What is in the range

Shuttle Launch Pad (6339-1) is the centrepiece at 565 pieces. Shuttle Transcon 2 (6544-1, 348 pieces) carries the orbiter by road, while Launch Response Unit (6336-1, 182 pieces) and Launch Evac 1 (6614-1, 123 pieces) cover safety and rescue. The smallest model is Moon Walker (6516-1, 34 pieces). A Launch Command Value Pack also bundled several of these together. Each set page lists every piece, which makes it easier to verify a used copy or rebuild one from loose bricks.
