Fantastic set
on February 4, 2024
Posted by: Venomm112
I have built hundreds of Lego sets. This is truly an amazing build and is extremely technical. You need to be very careful that the orientation of each brick is correct. The engineering that must of went into the functionality of this set is incredible. It is a great mix of technic and system building and it’s not too much of either. Overall, I cannot recommend this set highly enough if you are looking for a challenging and very enjoyable build. Don’t pass on this one its magic!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The bricks must flow

This thing is incredible. One of the most satisfying Lego builds I've ever experienced, really only rivaled by the Saturn V. The mechanisms are smart, and one feels smart while building them. It's an impressive model and very sturdy, very "swooshable". I'm not worried about parts falling off and can zoom this thing around with my sons' Lego ships. I particularly like how the wings sweep back. It feels very smooth and looks awesome as it transitions.

Dune! Wow! I ordered this set as soon as I saw it, because I really love Frank Herbert's books. This set is a real gift. Great and fun build. Everything was simple and clear. Once assembled, the ornithopter looks great! His huge wings are simply a miracle! Thank you Lego for this set!

Good Set, poor technic color choices

Good set and build experience, wish they had used black technic pins and grey ones instead of the red ones because they make the set look funny if you don't replace them.

Great set for play and display

I built the ornithopter last week and was suprised at how complex the building experience was. I had watched a few reviews on the product beforehand, and while I knew that it was mostly Technic based, the intricacies of the inside of the model were surprising. Opening the wings once the ship was built is one of the craziest experiences I’ve had building LEGO, the sheer size of the ship was jaw dropping. Colors on the connectors to the blades are an issue, but there’s a guy on youtube who put out a list of the parts you need to replace most of the visible ones for less that four dollars, which is definitely worth it in my opinion. Overall a very well designed set.

An Amazing Set
on May 26, 2024

Overall Thoughts:
The set was an absolute pleasure to build, looks phenomenal, and is a proper size. All the internal mechanisms to deploy/retract the landing gear and fold/unfold/flap the wings were a joy to build and function perfectly. The tail section is also very rigid and can easily support all the weight even holding it as a cantilever.

Minor Complaints:
The biggest is that the wings are made from soft plastic and are all bowed in the same direction. I've tried gently bending them backwards, but they always settle back to their curved shape. Quite unfortunate since the set looks simply fantastic when all the wings are flat. The second complaint is that when your using the mechanism to flap the wings, the gear spine part bumps into the piece behind it and always knocks it off. That, however, is a nonissue as I was able to correct it myself.

Afterthoughts:
If I had two things to add to the set it would be to have a small compartment (or similar) for the minifigs tools or weapons. Lastly some spring blasters would be great since these ships do have armaments! Other than that, it truly is an absolutely fantastic set for play or display!

My favorite set by far!!
on September 13, 2024
Posted by: HonorableJuicyHorse105
This is hands down the best Lego set I’ve bought so far- mechanically, structurally, and functionally!! The minifigs are amazing as well! Super accurate features, an amazing build process, no stickers or middles or stud launchers! It’s mini figure scale and the size is honestly stunning! 10/10!!
