This was already posted but it seems there is a mistake with the set in the movie. Its actually the 6346 shuttle launching crew not the 6544 Shuttle Transcon 2. While pausing with the dvd player the box read the "Shuttle Launching Crew" and also a (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

It is on Times Square (at 7th & 42nd), suspended about 6 or 8 stories up, and is probably a good 20 feet tall. It has a house built out of (...)

(...) Interesting. Of course I'd qualify the Alpha Team theme as a whole as "Toys that promote Heroism". The comic in 6776 shows the "heros" prevailing. Perhaps the set would have been more acceptable with a couple Alpha Team minifigs and a small (...) (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch)
