LEGO Ideas Nasa Apollo Saturn V 21309 Building Kit (1969 Piece)

Usual Lego high quality, accurate & educational plus fun to build. Having looked & researched other models both in the UK & abroad, this is by far the best. But be quick because sadly, I believe, this is going to be discontinued. The separate 3rd party base & lighting units (also available from Amazon) are an excellent addition. Also my order arrived much quicker than anticipated.

Bought for my 20+ son for Christmas 22! He loves it, he's into & owns all the NASA range. This set is, as normal of excellent quality, the build design is very well thought out & is of a solid construction. My son bought a wall mounting kit for each module of this rocket & on the wall looks totally awesome. For the disearning Lego builder this is a set to buy for sure!

In the box there were 12 bags of lego and I decided to open 1 bag per day. The first 6 bags were for the 1st stage and after starting the build I couldn’t stop and had it completed in 3 days. Its so addictive.I grew up in the sixties and watched the launch of these mighty rockets on television so when I saw this model I just had to buy it.It was a lot of fun building it.

Great fun to build, very accurate to real Saturn V. Looks great on a shelf10/10 👍

Like: All pieces present, completed product is a good size, decals and curved pieces help to create a pleasing model that remains visibly LEGO. Glad it separates into sections.Improvements: I read reviews by others (Grateful for their honesty): I glued many pieces especially smaller ones or at stress points. (Ive no intention of dismantling). Agree with others, the bottom section's vents would be better as curved pieces or sticky decals. Having saved up £200 to buy this: the capsule water landing and moon lander could be 2x better. Neil Armstrong stepping down...Has any smart app developer got a phone camera to scan a bag of LEGO and list the pieces?Bottomline: Engaging kit linked to a special moment in history. Tip my hat to all who made the real Saturn V

Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this GREAT kit yet! Whilst it only took me around 60 hours to put together, it was the most enjoyable way of passing a rainy ‘extended’ weekend! Arrived in excellent order and very quickly....good seller! I’ve bought a transparent corner shelf (from Amazon of course!) and the model now sits proudly above my desk in the study. There is a Lunar Lander and a better return to Earth capsule, for an extra display, but, I placed the Lunar Lander inside the rocket, where it should be, and I used the ‘better’ (right colour and decals) return Capsule on the top! Pleased, you bet!

For a start, let me just say that regardless of how big you think this is, it’s much bigger!I’d wanted this for a couple of years and nagged the other half to buy it for my birthday. Most excited when I got it!I am not a regular Lego builder, but this is by far the longest it has taken me to build one. It is a little repetitive at times, but let’s face it, you knew in your heart it would be to some extent, after all, it is just a cylinder, there’re only so many way to build one. It can be fragile when building which only really adds to the building experience, having to take care lest you drop half a cylinder on the carpet.I was a little disappointed at one or two areas as I didn’t feel the brick formed a perfect cylinder and you can see and feel a few edges of bricks, generally this happens on stages that are ‘fragile’ and they don’t seem to have much holding them together.The attention to detail is brilliant and is faithful to the real thing. I’m sure a more experienced builder would do it faster but it took me one full day to build this. Which, given how sore my fingertips were, has led me to limit the size of puzzle I buy from now on in.Word of warning! Do not, EVER, hold it with one hand making rocket noises as it lifts off and goes horizontal. It will not hold together. Two hands pushing it together at all times. Make sure the cat is outside and nowhere near your feet when you try to move it. It is relatively heavy and you need all concentration to move it.You may want to consider space before you buy it, however it will happily stand upright on its thrusters to minimise space taken up.I am, really, very pleased I bought it, it looks great and a huge amount of satisfaction on completion. Remember what I said about lifting it though ;)

Very well packaged unfortunately two minor pieces missing and I had to replace them
