Title: Best Lego NASA model yet
Review: This is a super cool addition to the Lego NASA series of builds, and probably even one of the best, if not THE best, amongst that line. The attention to detail is phenomenal, just as you’d expect for one of these premium Icon builds oriented towards adult Lego fans. In fact, there’s details you’ll see only while building the model which are then covered up with subsequent parts. I also particularly loved the spring suspension. But the absolutely best engineering feature of all: you can unpack and fold up the entire model just as the real thing folded up for stowage aboard the Apollo lunar module. Absolutely phenomenal. Lego knocked it out of the park with this kit.

Title: Really nice build and attention to detail
Review: This set is huge, but that allows for lots of detail to be included. It’s a really nice set – probably 8+ hours of solid build time. Now, I need to find a place to show it that the cat can’t get to, as he likes to chew on the various antennae.

Title: Super cool build
Review: Having already purchased the Saturn V, lunar module, shuttle, ISS, and Artemis, I really didn’t have much choice but to add the rover to my collection. It’s a great model. Larger than expected, and the articulation of the wheels/suspension is thoroughly satisfying.

Title: Great design, except putting together the seats.
Review: This model has excellent mechanics, but a billion tiny lego pieces, more than the many other technic builds I’ve done. Making the seats was the worst, but the rest was great. Bit of overkill with all the stands for removable payloads.

Title: Excellent
Review: Super fun to build – excellent instructions. It’s really neat to see how the rover was designed to fold down to fit inside the Saturn rocket. The model captures the modular nature of the rover perfectly.

Title:
Review: Lego cuando se propone sacar modelos específicos o relacionados a la historia espacial lo hace muy bien, y este no es la excepción. Gran detalle, si bien pertenece a la familia de Technic, complementa perfecto otros modelos de las series ideas, y creator. Un infaltable para cualquier coleccionista.
