6456 Mission Control

Desciption: Released in 1999 as part of the town/space port series, retail price then was about 40 bucks. Sells MISB today for about 100 dollars. Containing 479 parts and 4 minifigs, this is your straight forward space shuttle launch set.

My take: Never got this set, I had the older space shuttle launch pad one, which I believed I featured in the set spotlight a few months ago. That said, for some reason I think the older set had much more to offer in terms of playability.
