I'm guessing that they never did actually "sell" that as a set, but rather
it was just a promotional item they made.  There was a big push in schools
about the space program prior to the challenger launch because there was a
school teacher going up.  It was probably done as some sort of tie in to
that.

(I'd like to see it as a set though!)

I did a quick upload (might run into an error message) of another picture • I
found but in a 1987 SAH.  This one looks a lot better than the wanna-be • that
Mega Bloks make (hate those guys!).

I guess they didn't stop selling it after Challenger.

Do you have a link to where I could find a picture of this catalogue • page?
The one on brickshelf only shows 1986 Technic kits, and no space • shuttle!

When I was wading through my brochures from the 80's , something • caught
my
eye.  On the back page of the 1986 US LEGO brochure is a poster titled • ''All
Systems Go!'' (P-1) that was about 19''x25''.  (Did it go off the • market
after the Challenger Disaster?)

We've had the SoL and ISD become these huge LEGO models most of here • just
love.  So here is one thought, how about making the space shuttle • pictured
into a UCS set.

OK, so I'm pushing it :-)
