    This lego was the best set I have built. It was easy to build and the result is a beautiful sun with a revolving earth and moon. The best part is the revolving parts as you wind it up. It’s fun to watch and show off to family and friends. I hope you make it your next Lego set. I may buy another one just to have.

    Fantastic. As an amateur astronomer this was very meaningful. This is not a build for the very young. I would suggest not less than 18 or so. It is amazing however.

    This Lego set had some problematic instructions. After I finished assembling all parts, I found that the remote group involving the Earth and moon did not rotate like it was meant to do. The toggles and long rotation arm did not turn the remote parts.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This set is so much fun to build & even more fun to play with, even as a 40 year old. My Son loves the mechanics & the Earth & Moon relation is always a fun conversation starter.

    Great intermediate build, it's a great display piece that has moving parts to show off. I was able to give a small science lesson on eclipses to my kids with a flashlight. Took about 3 hours, put on a show had some snacks and wine with my wife.

    This is probably the most conplicated build I've done so far. I recommend using a digital device for the intructions so you can move the picture around. It took me a few hours, but everyone in my office loves it!

    Im a huge Lego nerd, but im also a huge space nerd. So, of course, i had to purchase this. The rotations are accurate, and the design of the Earth is realistic, too.

    My son saw this at a museum gift shop and was interested, but it was really expensive. We checked online and found it cheaper at Best Buy, so we purchased it from there instead. He really enjoyed putting this together. Everything looks and works as expected.
