Any thoughts on #10029 Lunar Lander?

I'm interested in buying this set, but I am not sure if it's worth the 60$ Can they're selling it for. Could anybody who has it tell me if it's really worth it?

Thanks.

Somehow, I got this set, even though I'm more of a City/Town fan. Anyways, here are my thoughts/a reveiw (no pictures, sorry):

MAIN SET: Very good, realistic model. There are two parts to this set. The lower, tan half and the upper dark grey half. The bottom half has good design, having the Technic pieces as legs, giving the impression of mechanical legs. As for the main body, TLC used hinge bricks to create a rounded look to the model, instead of a blocky look. The grey part is removable from the bottom. The upper part is much more exciting than the bottom part, as there is a pod within a pod. The smaller, hatched pod is the one where the astronauts are fitted into. You can barely fit about 2 minifigures, with their backpacks.

MINIFIGURES: There are two identical astronaut minifigures included with the set. They have white, unopenable backpacks; white helmets; and printed NASA torsos. One of them has an American Flag (which is a sticker).

STICKERS: There are a few stickers. They are the American Flag sticker and a plain sticker reading: United States" One downside though, the American Flag sticker overlaps more than one block on the lander, but you can always not apply the stickers. ;)

OVERALL: A really great set. A must have if you are into realistic space sets. For $60 Canadian ($48 USD), the price a little high for 467 pieces, but the great design and functionality of the model, along with the hours of fun that come with it pays for itself over time.

RATING: I rate this set a 9/10. Only -1 for the overlapping sticker and the slightly high price. ;) :)
