Lego strikes again!
on September 19, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lego Surface Space Loader was so fun to put together! I didn't get a chance to take a picture because my grandson loved it so much that he took it back to his house. Easy to follow the directions, great price, and as all Lego sets it was fun to put together. Love Legos!

Fun Lego set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son and I had so much fun putting this Lego set together. It was easy to follow directions but it took time to get everything lot together correctly which was fun. It is now a fun toy that he can play with and it seems like it will last a long time. We love lego sets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter used this for a perfect white elephant gift for her classroom. She made a peer so happy to get this gift. They couldn’t wait to go home and build it!!

Blast to build, wish it could pick up the cargo

This vehicle was so much fun to build. Very clear instructions and zoomed in diagrams on every confusing step. My favorite thing about this model was the mechanism that lifted the cockpit and shortened the wheel base. I will definitely be using something like this in my own designs in the future.
My biggest personal beef with this model was that it comes with a hazardous material type cargo container and an arm that seems like it would pick up and carry said container, but it doesn't work. You cants pick it up using just the arms of the vehicle, and the container itself will not sit comfortably anywhere on the vehicle.
One thing I wish that Lego would make an effort toward is making these types of models (cars likewise) able to easily be converted to RC vehicles using Lego motors and battery boxes. Attaching a small motor to the back of this model made moving the wheel base much easier and more enjoyable to watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent set

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really enjoy this set. It is a well put together set all around. The size, the playability, the amount of time and work to put it together, all just right. As someone who has been building LEGO since the 70s, this is one of my all time favorite smaller builds.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Spacey Sci-fi Technic!
on March 31, 2025

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love seeing Technic models outside the existing world of vehicles. I enjoyed building this and the play functions really bring it to life. Twisting a rear rod makes it "perk up", almost like a pet. It is steerable from the back, so you can watch it drive over obstacles. Love the tiny Petri dish with "life" sample.
I would recommend this to a friend!
