WOW! That is by far the best shuttle they have put out. I'm glad I just sold my 7470 Discovery. Now I have and excuse to buy this one when it comes out. Just need to get some decals for it to make it complete.

Great-looking model. Curious that there are no NASA decals, though...

I'm always amazed what LEGO engineers/designers can come up with by using pre-made bricks.

LEGO's website says June 30, 2010.
(The site also has a photo of the packaging and a 360 degree "spin" around the model.)

I went to Toys "R" Us today to see they had it on sale but didn't... I thought any toy stores would have them out today as the LEGO website said. Is it going to be in stores or not?

The Space Shuttle Adventure set is a LEGO Exclusive, which means it is only available through LEGO's own stores, catalog and website. Retailers (such as Toys Я Us) will not be stocking this set.
