Comments.Text: From owning this, the element connecting the transred cones (a tap, https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4599#T=C) to the main body does not form a tight join (or any join, in some cases) with the positioning rocket element (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3963#T=C). It either doesn't seat, so they fall out, or seats so tightly that it can't be removed. Seems to be a bit of variance in individual pieces though, as some work as intended.

Comments.Text: That may be some manufacturing fault. I also have this set and inspected the pieces carefully. The rocket element has a standard Technic axle hole inside (looks like an X), and the tap piece fits in nice and snug, as it should. I also have extras of both elements, and never had a problem with them. I would call LEGO's customer service and ask for a replacement if either the rocket or the tap are faulty.

  The booster pieces don't fit into their place on Benny's Dimensions set (71214). I'm talking about the bigger booster in the middle.
