This is a modernized version of the LL897 Mobile Rocket Launcher set, using only parts currently (as of Summer, 2026) available from LEGO Pick-a-Brick online. The main design principle was to retain (or even improve) the durability and playability of the original, using similar, simple building techniques. An additional design principle was to use general-purpose parts, allowing for many alternative builds and re-use in Space-themed builds, following the structure and the building sequence of the original as closely as practical.
The main differences with the original are the following:
Instead of red and white, golden and teal minifigures are used.
Some originally gray parts (fenders, spare oxygen tank, etc.) are white.
The originally red wheel hubs are also white.
The walkie-talkie is light gray, with an additional face plate.
Instead of two vertical tail fins, three hangers are used, due to part availability but also to improve on the most fragile part of the original.
The erector mechanism has been completely changed, due to part availability.
I think we need a few more Minifig categories and would like community input.
I'd like to add:
Minifig Upper => for Torso Assemblies
Minifig Lower => for Leg Assemblies
Minifig Complete => for Minifig that come as complete assemblies (e.g. Smart Brick minifigs)
(we should probably also extend these to Figure as well)
If you have an alternate suggestion remember that categories are limited to 2 words.
In the next few weeks, LDraw.org may experience some extended downtime while I update the server infrastructure. It should last, at most, a few hours. Since I'm not sure exactly when I'll be ready to start, I'm posting this now to make everyone aware.
Additionally, some changes to the way the Library and Forums will interact are happening. The Library will be transitioned to it's own login system and be complete separated from the forums. This will require all existing Parts Authors or Reviewers to request a password reset from the Library. Before this happens, I will update the Library will the email addresses with the ones on file here on the forums. If you're a Parts Author or Reviewer, make sure your email is up to date.
Lastly, we will moving the forum software from myBB to Discourse. This is a more modern, more capable forum platform. This is the same software that Rebrickable uses for it's forums and is more actively developed than myBB.
Again, I still have testing to do on the changes to the Library and the timeline on when the above will happen isn't firm yet. Best guess is since the 2026-06 release is in 2.5 weeks, I will likely delay until after that happens.
This is my first ever post and if I am correct this is the right location for this request.
I'd like to make a red panda enclosure for my kids to play with.
However the part 106597pb01 doesn't show up in Studio.
I tried importing an lego set which should have it, but I get no suggestions for replacement.
I attached two screenshots.
Hopefully someone can make a model for it.
If you have any questions please let me know.
