LEGO Creator Shuttle Expedition 10231

"Dear Ambassadors, Since its release in 2010, 10213 Shuttle Adventure has proven to be very popular! Although the model was designed for a 16+ target audience, our consumer call center has brought to our intention that many younger children have been building and playing with the model. As a result, the Direct team has decided to look at the model once more to see what changes could be made in order to provide a better build and play experience for a slightly younger target audience.

10231 Shuttle Expedition may look similar to Shuttle Adventure in many ways, however its build is very different and offers several advantages.

• The fuel tank has been reinforced with supports to strengthen the assembly
• The landing gear is strengthened to function better across many different floor types
• The Cargo doors can now be more rigorously opened and closed
• The entire build has been reworked to limit opportunities for misplacing elements
• Astronauts now have wigs in addition to their helmets (1 male, 1 female). Face prints are also different.
• The new set now has 1,230 elements
• New Satellite can be securely positioned on the new mechanical arm
