Happy Nerd

Excellent set! I've been a big LEGO fan for a long time but been unable to participate, so getting a DUNE LEGO set was awesome!
The build is a tad confusing in a couple parts, but easily improvised upon.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Very Satisfying Build

A great build. Every step of the way I was delighted by the commitment to functionality and the overall look of the 'thopter. The mechanisms seem to be as resilient as they are intricate. A+ design

Fantastic Replica with Great Functionality
on March 21, 2024

Throughout my childhood, I was lucky to be spoiled with many different Lego sets, most of which were Lego Star Wars.
As most people tend to do, I drifted away from Lego and other childhood interests as I grew older.
Only in the last few years, around the time of the pandemic, did I return to Lego, this time in the form of UCS Star Wars sets and other builds marketed more towards adults.
When Dune Part Two released recently in theaters, I absolutely adored the film and was blown away by what I saw. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Lego had already released an Ornithopter set one month prior! I had no idea.
I watched some videos and read reviews before actually ordering the set, as $175 is not a small amount of money these days.
The reviews, as positive as they were, still did not do this set justice. The quality of this build is outstanding. I’ve never held a set that feels so solid. I feel as if I dropped this set on the floor, only the cockpit pieces would break off. It’s that’s solid of a build.
Every single bit of space is utilized to perfection. I know some folks aren’t big fans of Lego technic, but for me, it just added to the challenge and the fun of building.
The fact that you can open and close the massive wings, flap them, and open and close two sets of landing gear at the same time is amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had a set with such seamless and smooth features before.
Overall, the Lego Ornithopter delivers a scale model that stays true to the aesthetic of Dune, with a fantastic lineup of mini figures. The playability and design is near perfect.
Any small discrepancies or visible technic is not an issue for me, as the abundant pros far outweigh the scarce cons.
There is no doubt you are getting what you pay for. It’s absolutely worth the price.
The set looks fantastic on display, and I hope Lego continues to create Dune inspired sets in the future.

This set is a great display piece, but may not be for everyone. Your enjoyment of this set will hinge on how willing you are to let the technic side of this dominate the appearance. As a Dune fan though, I love the display elements, as well as the exceptional functionality of the set. The technics add way more than they take away in my opinion

Far better than ever thought it would be

I purchased this originally as just something different to build and I am very happy I did. It turned into one of the best builds I have done this year. It looks amazing and the moveable wings and landing gear are a great inclusion.

Ornithopter

This lego was a fun yet challenging build. The epic mini figures dispersed throughout the bags was exciting. The substantial size is just right. The ramp and landing gear are designed accurately. The movement really does mimic that of the movie. Great product again!

Great overall look and feel
on August 17, 2024

The designers did a great job getting the functionality of the wings to fit the structure of the build. My only complaint is how visible the red and blue pins are on the wings. They stand out too much for a vehicle that should be completely dark colors. There are also two bright orange pins visible from the side. I made a separate order for black pins to at least replace the bright red. I also replaced Paul’s hair with the same mold the Hobbits use but in black. Other than that, the whole thing looks great and the minifigure selection is generous. You could easily put this together in the time it takes to watch both movies.

An incredibly fun set

I absolutely loved this build. I had a hard time visualizing how the mechanics would work early on, because there are a lot of mechanics with this set, but it all came together in the end! Absolutely thrilled to have this built and on display to show others!
I would recommend this to a friend!
