I've only seen an assembled one in person once - and that was in 1993 - but fully assembled, it stands nearly 3 feet tall with the gantry raised. The actual product box itself was around 5 feet tall. I remember the boxes as a kid in the mid-80s, which were naturally much taller than I was. There is lots and lots of detail and functionality throughout the whole thing and it had to be assembled. Held a ton of figures at the various control stations, cockpits, etc. Sure it was underscaled, but still the thing is huge! The smaller shuttle actually looks very realistic and is similar to a proposed space shuttle replacement (X-33) from the 1990s. Not even 21c has reached the level of audacity that Hasbro did with the USS Flag and Defiant Complex, even when some of their 1:6 vehicles and the Avenger are taken into account :wink:
