LEGO City Rocket Assembly & Transport 60229 – 1055-Piece Space Playset

Ignite young imaginations with a NASA-inspired LEGO City rocket launch set that blends meticulous building with open-ended space play. LEGO City Rocket Assembly & Transport 60229 brings a large, multi-stage rocket, a rover payload module, and a full mission backdrop to a kid’s playroom or classroom setup. The set invites independent play as children explore technical details, maneuver equipment, and stage a launch from a ground-based control center.

What you’ll build

• A tall, multi-stage rocket with a cockpit that opens for minifigure access, plus a long rover payload module ready for mission prep.
• A transport crawler and a tilting launch pad that support interactive staging and movement across the pretend launch site.
• A ground-based assembly frame, a rotating satellite dish, and a simple ground display with geodes and a light pole to set the scene.
• Seven minifigures and a robot figure to represent astronauts, technicians, a launch director, scientists, and a rover crew.

Play and build moments
