LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V 21309 Outer Space Model Rocket for Kids and Adults, Science Building Kit (1969 Pieces) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I HAD SO MUCH FUN BUILDING THIS!!!!

This may be my favorite LEGO model ever, at least to construct. There are a ton of crazy connections to make and I was genuinely excited to see how it would all come together. Ive never used many of the techniques before, and I was surprised at how sturdy the model was once completed, despite seeming at points that it would be fiddly. It stands quite tall, so make sure you have room to display this beast. If you have more horizontal room, the model breaks apart into three pieces that rest on included stands. I put it next to my 10231 and the combination is awesome...just wish they were the same scale. Saturn V is 1:111 scale, and 10231 Shuttle is 1:128 scale, so a little undersized. The instruction booklet is lovingly crafted with great graphics and information about the rocket, though I wish LEGO would spiral bind their large booklets instead of perfect binding them...the weight of the pages creases the spine. A minor nitpick.

This is by far the coolest LEGO set ever created. Myself and all my co-workers each got one. It is massive, and pretty detailed. The fact that you can pull apart the stages is incredible. I would highly recommend checking back on this DAILY, because if you didnt get one and want one, you need to snatch it up quick if it comes back. So. Cool.

As advertised, fun build

I was considering an actual Saturn V model for a while, but Im not really into the painting aspect of those. So glad this came around just as I was looking for a model of my favorite rocket. It was a pleasure to put together over the course of a few nights. Wonderfully detailed and the extras really make it worth the money, including the awesome instruction book.

What a great project. Very challenging even for long time LEGO builders.

I am building this set now. It is amazing inside and out. You can tell there was a lot of love put into it!

It is everything I hoped it would be. Well worth the hours I spent assembling it.

One of the best kits I have put together.

Great set, but dont believe the people saying there will be more, or as one guy said, sets of this made for years. If you can find a physical set for MSRP, cool, get it. But Lego will take several months to replenish stock online, if they do a second production run (as a long time collector, I can once again say many of these types of sets dont get multiple runs). ALL Lego ideas, and formerly cuusco, sets are limited-run sets with MAYBE two production runs. Some are more popular than others, and will drive a higher asking price as scarcity and collectibility goes up. Honestly, get them while you can and before people start asking for more than double the price. Dont believe it? Find a Lego Mars curiosity rover available for under even double the cost, try it. Or any of the other NASA sets, like the more detailed space shuttles. Or, just look at the Star Wars sets, especially the detailed or ultimate collectors edition sets. Only way to get those these days without spending several thousand dollars in some cases is to build and order an entire pieces/parts list online, and even some of those site jack up the cost of specialized parts when they see you putting them together in the same orders.
