Here is a little gem from the late 90s, a small LEGO Town Space themed set! Now I mostly got this for the minifigure because as a child I played Soccer Mania A LOT, and this fig was among the playable characters. Sadly the set I got did not come with a box but it came with instructions and all the parts and figs~

**The Instructions**

Nothing too amazing here, its just a single sheet that folds up on itself. It shows what the front of the box would have looked like on the cover and has an additional image on the inside. The entire thing is done in a gradient of blue that fades into orange which is trying to mimic the sky and red rocks of a desert space station or something. There isn't much to talk about here really. Instructions are instructions.

**The Minifig**

The set comes with one minifig, that being a random technician dude. He has Steven Spielberg's face so maybe this was his job before making movies? Anyways the figure looks absolutely great! He has black legs and a white printed torso piece that looks really clean and good. Its simple and just looks nice. His hat is just a hard hat in white which is always nice to get. The figure was the main reason I got this set and I'm happy to have him in my collection cause he's pretty sweet!

**The Set**

This is a tiny set but it has a really simple but awesome play feature which I'll get to in just a moment. The set is on a small tan plate and features a small station with 2 computer panels that are sadly just stickers (I was really hoping they would be printed but alas), and the rocket itself. Now the play feature as mentioned earlier is that you slam down on the lever and it shoots the Rocket up into the sky. This is really simple but its surprisingly fun and works really well! The rocket can actually go a decent distance which is nice. Parts wise the set comes with several nice parts but really this set is something you'll probably get just for the fig. Its still fun tho and doesn't take too much space while looking relatively nice and simple.

**Overall thoughts**

This is a really nifty set that looks really nice! The minifigure is really great and the play feature works really well. Its also not too terribly expensive online!
