Amazing!
on February 4, 2024
Posted by: LastTentacledPuffin
Was waiting to buy this set from the moment it was announced, and it absolutely delivered. It looks very much like the ornithopters in the actual movies and I love the functionality of it. My son and I built it together over 2 days and we agreed that it’s our favorite set we’ve done. Really hoping Lego makes more Dune sets - this went on back-order online the day it was released… what more proof do you need than that to make more Dune sets? Come on Lego, give the people what they want!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well done Lego
on February 4, 2024

I was excited for this set since it's unveiling. Even more so after watching the YouTube video with the designer. As a longtime fan of the Dune universe, it was refreshing to see that Lego was able to get the licensing for this collaboration. I cant think of model from that franchise which is better suited for a Lego build than the Ornithopter, and my initial impression from those early images and videos was that this was going to be a great set. Ordered it just after midnight on release day and spent a bit checking out the building instructions (just enough to boost the excitement, not so much as to spoil anything). After having completed the set there is a ton I can go on about as far as how good this set is but I will keep it simple. The entire build process is engaging, step by step. There are some advanced techniques, and the set is ~75% Technic and ~25% brick built. So if you don't have a lot of experience with Technic parts and subassemblies it may prove to be a challenging build. I didn't have any issues, but the total time to completion for me was about 2X longer than average for a set this size. This isn't a bad thing, it just means I had twice as long to enjoy the process. Also, The price point is fantastic. It goes without saying that this hobby is not cheap and the prices only increase as the years go by. It's frustrating, but I understand it. I'm usually ok with it as long as quality and value can be quantified fairly in that cost. I feel that I got more than my moneys worth with this set and those instances are becoming increasingly rare. So yes, I definitely recommend this set. Based on the fact that it's already on back order, I probably don't need to.

New Favorite Set
on February 7, 2024
Posted by: InterlockingPlastic
This set is MASSIVE! I feel like price to piece ratio is justified with all the new parts and minifigs. I did change all of the brightly colored pins to black, and it looks much better. New favorite set. 10/10

Highly, highly, highly, recommended
on February 8, 2024

I've been building with Lego my entire life and this is without a doubt one of the best overall sets I've ever had the pleasure of owning! The ingenuity, operation, mini figs, playability, and build experience are probably top 3 of any set I own, and I own hundreds of sets. The value for your money is excellent given the overall size and quality of the finished set.
My only small issue is that the large wings are slightly curved and so one side curves a bit down, and the other a bit up. Super minor, but nonetheless apparent.
Still highly recommended for any fan of sci-fi, Technic, and Dune. I hope there are more sets for this franchise!

Excellent Set
on February 16, 2024
Posted by: eatmorebees
This is an excellent set. It displays well, and feels sturdy enough that I expect older kids could safely play with it as well.
The landing gear is easily up to the task of keeping it standing when deployed. The gear and the ramp close smoothly and securely with a simple rotating block on the side of the vehicle.
The wings swing in and out with a locking lever, and can flap when extended by pressing the same lever. They wobble, but it's all within their expected range of motion, and there's no sense that it's about to break at any point, nor have I noticed any unexpected sagging to them in their collapsed configuration (there is some sag, but all of the design for the wing motion accounts for it).
I can't help but compare it to the current UCS X-wing, which also features wings that can change positions, but is a significantly inferior mechanism. This set feels like the designers made sure to avoid the mistakes that had been learned from that model.
It comes with a LOT of minifigures, and I like them all myself. Liet Kynes and Duncan Idaho are my favorite of the two, with Duncan really capturing Mamoa's appearance from the film in Lego's whimsical style. Baron Harkonnen's cape is a little bit annoying to get settled, but now that it's sat for a couple weeks, it has settled properly and looks decent. For those expecting a unique minigure with him though, he is a standard figure on a tall transparent stand, and the cape is a really long cloth piece.

Incredible set
on February 19, 2024
Posted by: Decendinglego
The best set I’ve built in a while. I primarily have Star Wars sets, then the kids have a wide variety. This was by far one of the most enjoyable sets I’ve built. It’s solid, challenging, and not repetitive. Like I said, it’s a solid/strong build. Compared to similar Star Wars sets in the price range, I feel this is so much stronger and a value for the money. The set has so much functionality, from the landing gear/ramp to the moving/folding legs, to the unique cockpit. It had a great set of mini figs too. It’s also neat looking and I plan to do a nice display with the novels. Incredibly impressed, thanks Lego for a great set from this iconic movie!!!

One of the more compress builds that I've ever done, but instructions were perfect and when you're done you have a fully functioning toy. It's amazing
