This set combines good mechanisms, aesthetics, and robustness. It is exquisite to build and see the final result. I like the combination between technique pieces to allow more complex mechanisms,and the classic bricks for aesthetics. It is a well designed set.
At the beginning I didn't want to buy it because I thought it was like other sets that only looked good, but the mechanisms were minimal or non existent, and it was fragile to manipulate. However, it was a nice surprise that it has all the things a look in a set, complexity, good mechanisms, robustness, and aesthetics. I would like Lego keep doing this kind of sets, and it is sad that it is getting retired so soon. It is one of the best sets that I have built in all my vast amount of Lego sets.
A really awesome set. Build was a little rough at points because it’s basically a technic set, but once completed it looks amazing and functions really well. And 8 franchise essential minifigures is a huge plus. Picked this one up because this may be the only dune set they ever release, and if it is at least it’s a banger
I love the design. The Ornithopter wings—while slightly delicate and prone to warping—look great. The cockpit and landing gear design, though, are WAY too delicate even for display purposes, never mind play. 90-degree angle mounts, an entire canopy held by two studs, and a Technic-articulated set of landing gear make this very impressive, but incredibly delicate. Tight tolerances and tenuous mounting mean that just moving from build area to display may require a lot of rework. I applaud the engineering, but it doesn’t feel like this was play-teated.
The ratio of minifigs to pieces in this set makes for a really fun build. Watching the movies and building the ornithopter side-by-side was one of a kind experience, you can really see the love and attention to detail. I just hope they more release more Dune sets in the future.
The highlight is the build process, with so many great intricate combinations of pieces to form the nice flapping mechanism we see later on the demos. I love this series and started to research more about the books after building this set. Thank you LEGO!
