Great toy!
My son received this for his 4th birthday almost a year ago and he has played with it pretty consistently since then. I cannot say that about most of his toys. Since it can be rearranged so many ways it really keeps my son's interest. He also has the space rover. We are so happy with this toy that we will be purchasing the pirate ship and lair for his 5th birthday. It's also cool to know the Mega Rigs are interchangeable. I would definitely recommend this for kids four years old and older.
We love this toy!
I am not generally a fan of plastic toys requiring batteries. That said, this toy has been awesome. My three year old son plays with it frequently, imaginatively and for extended periods of time. I think that it will be a favorite for a long time to come.
Favorite for Christmas
My 5 year old got this set along with the Matchbox Mega Rig Space Rover for Christmas. These sets were easy to put together and have provided hours and hours of fun. The Space Shuttle set comes with parts to build up to 30 different space vehicles. Instructions are easy to follow (although you don't need instructions if you just want to be creative). The pieces are big and chunky which make it easy to pull apart/snap together. The alien and it's spacecraft are the perfect addition to an already great set.

Matchbox Mega Rig Space Shuttle
I highly recommend this toy for kiddos 5 and up (including adults). While this is an expensive toy at $79.99, it has many pieces, is very well constructed and designed to be assembled in many different ways. The most charming piece is the alien space ship which makes the greatest noise. This set works well with the smaller moon rover set which can also be assembled into the same parts system. It is well constructed and entertained my 5-yr old grandsons for a hour or more, as well as my older children. This is a toy that will be around when my 5-yr olds are 30, and how cool will it be to remember the space shuttles when looking at this toy in 30 years. : 2010-11-30 02:12:37
Even a partial!
My son was rummaging through the toy bin at the thrift store and came across just a few of these parts; the front, the middle minus the doors, the rear booster and a pilot. I tried to convince him it was not a complete toy but he wouldn't be swayed. For almost a year now this has been his favorite toy. I know it had been someone else's favorite toy because any markings or makers marks were gone and it took me months to research and find out who made it. I had a clue when it fit so perfectly with his other mega rig toys! (dinosaurs are a big hit for 6 year old boys) I'm definitely going to be his hero with the complete set! Usually I rotate half the toys out to storage every three months or so but the space shuttle is the only toy he keeps full time. I love listening to the stories he comes up with for a few pieces of plastic. : 2010-11-30 02:12:18
Even at this Price
This may be the best toy I ever bought my now 5 1/2 year-old. He constantly comes back to it. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but it may even be worth the current going rate of $150+; he loves it that much. This could be the perfect blend of what a kid wants in a toy and what a parent wants (except for the several pieces that need to be picked up, but at least they are large and findable between couch cushions.) : 2010-11-30 02:11:57
Fantastic Toy
This is an amazing toy. My 5-year-old got it for his birthday. He loves it! There are so many different ways to put it together and it is pretty easy to figure out how. Plus it doesn't have to be put together any certain way so the imagination can take over and play can continue without any frustration. It is a bit difficult to open the cargo doors and they fall off pretty easy, but they also go back on easily. The only real negative is the alien space ship makes an obnoxious sound. I wish I had taken the battery out before I gave it to my son. The biggest pro is that it will be a toy that he can play with for many years before he outgrows it. I do wish there was more than one astronaut. All in all Im very impressed with this toy. : 2010-11-30 02:11:37
Suprised
I am so suprised at how this toy has survived over the last week. It came out looking pretty cheap and destructable, but after a week of heavy play by 3 rough boys, it it still all in working order. There are enough pieces and combinations that everyone is content to play with a section at a time. Our 3 year old twins have no problems pulling it apart and putting it together in new combos by themselves. A nice bonus.
I am very happy this toy has worked out.
(I am adding this note a year later) This toy has survived the year and is still very popular with our kids. Only 1 small thing broke, but didn't effect the toys playability or safety. We will be getting other sets in this series. : 2010-11-30 02:11:05
Worth the wait
I ordered this in March and was sent an e-mail within a week or two that it was on back order. I waited 4 months for it to become available, ignoring the e-mails Amazon sent suggesting I could cancel the order. Since arriving last week, my five year old son has barely looked at any of his other toys. He has developed intricate stories around the many different parts of the toy, which includes rocket, space shuttle, launcher, UFO, and can be mixed and matched to more varieties of space ships than he will ever need. The entire line of Mega Rig toys have proven to be one of my best investments for encouraging my son's story telling skills. Their are so many things you can do with them and they are easy for a five year olds strength and abilities. There are many small parts that require you to keep track of them, so get a small basket for safe keeping when not in use. If you lose too many of the small parts the changing forms of it are limited. : 2010-11-30 02:10:45
Excitement for several ages
When I gave this gift to my 5-year old grandson, several of his older cousins (6-12, male and female) all wanted to play with this. They played for several hours and then we finally had to put the toy away so that our grandson could enjoy his new toy. It's been about two weeks now and he (and his siblings) are enjoying this toy very much. He plays with it everyday and has fun creating different objects.
It is well made and very durable (trust me - my grandsons are not real easy on toys). This one has been tried, tested, and passed with flying colors : 2010-11-30 02:10:20

This set was an even bigger hit with my son than the Lego Space Police space station... and with its larger pieces it cleans up nicer too. The only downside is I wish this set came with a case to store it all in. But for a few extra dollars we purchased a big tupperware case for all our space gear. Definitely recommend : 2010-09-15 13:39:59
