New Set Announcement: 10213 Shuttle Adventure

Although info on this had started leaking on various fan sites earlier in the week, today at BrickMagic was the official debut of the new 10213 Shuttle Adventure kit. It's an excellent set with a great part/price ratio and many exciting parts (including several in new or rare colors - note the beautiful new dark orange elements). Also, you can build a neat space shuttle with it!

Here's the official boilerplate that you may have seen on other LEGO blogs earlier today (one downside of attending the real debut is that you miss the chance to blog in advance):
10213 Shuttle Adventure
Ages 16+
1,204 pieces
US $99.99 CA $129.99 UK £ 79.99 DE 89.99 €

Blast off on an outer space mission!

Standing 17.5″ (44cm) tall and 10″ (25.5cm) from wing tip to wing tip, this detailed and realistic space shuttle is ready to count down and blast off on its next exciting mission into space! You can take off from the launch pad, separate the detachable fuel tank and booster rockets, and deploy the satellite with unfolding antenna and solar cell panels. Shuttle model features realistic engines, retractable landing gear, an opening cockpit with seats for 2 astronauts, opening cargo compartment with a crane that can hold the satellite and a ground maintenance vehicle. Includes 3 minifigures: 1 male and 1 female astronaut, as well as 1 service crew member.
