I bought this at a gift shop about 2 months ago and I will say this puzzle looks absolutely amazing! It took about one month to finish the whole thing, and it was worth the work! The puzzle is way larger than I thought it would be and looks awesome on our wall. I would totally recommend it for anyone who is looking for a cool Lego puzzle! Fixing the galaxy pieces together is overall the hardest part because they honestly all look the same but other than that, awesome puzzle, Lego!
This set is a fantastic tribute to Classic Space. The build left me wanting more puzzles, perhaps one focused on the ships rather than the mini-figs. I didn't mind that some of the astronauts were in different colors than the originals as it represents the timeless legacy of my favorite Lego era. Now I have to dust off my Galaxy Explorer and Commander sets and build those.
I usually don't have the patience for 1000 piece puzzles but because it was really ten smaller puzzles bundled together.
