The LEGO Spaceport is the biggest of the 2015 space sets. It costs $119.99 and comes with 586 pieces making it over 20 cents per piece which is ridiculous. It should be about 60 or 70 dollars, not 120. It includes 5 minifigures which are 2 astronauts, 2 service people and a scientist. The accessories included are a mug and a really nice printed blueprint tile. There is some nice ground detail in the form of a satellite dish and a countdown clock. These are simple but give a lot of atmosphere to the whole scene. There is also a small service car which measures 9X5X6cm and looks really nice. There are some cool shapes and this has space to hold 3 minifigures. The spaceship itself is made up of three sections, rocket boosters, a fuel tank and the shuttle, that all seperate. The boosters each measure 26X2X2cm and look simple but effective. The same goes for the fuel tank which measures 28X4X4cm. The shuttle, however, has quite a lot to it. It measures 27X19X12cm and looks really nice. I really like the wing and engine detail and the cockpit looks really good. The cockpit opens to put in the astronauts and the back folds opened to reveal a robotic arm and space for the satellite. The entire rocket sits on a mobile launchpad that measures 20X17X11cm and has a cockpit with space for a driver. It has a cool blue colour scheme and rolls on 8 wheels. In conclusion, I think this set looks really good, comes with good minifigures and is a decent build. I would recommend this if it weren't for the price. I just think this is extortionate with over twice the average price per piece.
