LEGO Icons NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 Model Building Set for Adults, Spaceship Collection with Hubble Telescope, Gift idea

it was purchased as a gift for someone

My father was gifted this from my mother and I after he had surgery. He was so giddy he immediately wanted to put it together, and he did. Over the course of about two weeks, off and on, he built this GIANT set. The ship itself is about two feet long, and packed to the brim with detail. Its such a fascinating LEGO set and he was so happy about the outcome. Also the telescope is adorable! It also has a lot of nice detail. LEGO never disappoints!

This was my favorite Lego build, right up there with Apollo Saturn V!

The Discovery is an expensive kit but very detailed and seemingly very accurate. A nine year old who is experienced -- and organized -- and very familiar with Legos can build it in an evening. It is wonderful for a kid to build when able to then see the actual Discovery craft in person at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Incredible connection! Lego does a magnificent job on the NASA spacecraft. The insides are quite accurate as one builds the vessel up.

The product arrived just fine I dont like the way shipped. It was shipped in its original box. Been nice put in side another box. One people saw what I ordered and the box could of broken open.

We have a son who is an AFOL (Adult Fan Of Lego). Don’t judge! He was thrilled to receive this set for a recent birthday. The detail on this is absolutely remarkable. Beware…the finished product is 21 inches long and over 8 inches tall. It needs room to be displayed and admired! Sets like this prove you don’t need to be a kid to enjoy Lego.

Everything good

If your looking to purchase this and maybe sell one day when it’s worth more don’t buy from Amazon I purchased and received the Saturn v 2 weeks ago and the box was tore up bad and taped shut with thin scotch tape besides that it was a beautiful piece upon completion highly recommend the Saturn v Now on to the shuttle discovery I received it today and who’d a thunk it the box is in horrible shape I feel if you are going to spend 200 on a collectible item the box should not be destroyed and taped back up I could have purchased this item at Target for the same price but had a brand new box so far all the pieces are there and it’s turning out nicely but beware of shipping damage

Lego done a great job in the design of this one, very enjoyable to build.

The only thing I didnt liked was that for the 1st time since I have been buying from Amazon my package arrived late and there was not a lot of details from the carrier. But, now lets talk about the main plate, the Lego Set. Altough I was a little bit concerned about the free frustration package my product arrived in excelent condition with the original Lego box as well (I was not sure how basic or generic the frustration free option was and I didnt see any detailed information here) but to my surprise and happiness when I opened the box there it was, in all its glory the original box from Lego with the Shuttlle design. Great quality and I must say my package didnt have any missing pieces, in fact there were some small ones extra (look for the sorting process and packaging of Lego sets on YT, very impressive). 17 plastic bags with all the pieces ordered by construction module. (There are 2 bags labeled 2 with all the necesary parts just in case you may think there are several parts missings as I tought in the beginning) Step by step instructions very easy to follow. I spent around 3 and half nights assembling it (working adult here) and it was very fun process, discovering all the details and easter eggs. I would definetly recommend it!
