Awesome set
on March 6, 2024
Posted by: MandoBiglin
The surface space loader is awesome, I love the continued use of the new orange and the color scheme all around. The crane mechanism is cool as a transporter so it is not too articulate, but the mechanism is very satisfying and cool with some imagination. The overall Main transition is the sickest part, even cooler when paired with a technic hub, it's awesome. My only critique is that it should have some of the new battery pieces to power the loader.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great family activity!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boys absolutely love Legos! It's a fun activity for the young and old alike. This little space loader turned out to be bigger than we anticipated which is a plus. My 8 year old and 17 year old sat down together and built it which was great bc that doesn't happen a lot lol great quality for the price! It's for ages 8 and up due to the small pieces being choking hazards.

Lego strikes again!

[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!

Awkward mechanisms with a confusing desig
on March 30, 2024
Posted by: shroomzofdoom
I have to admit, I really don't understand this set. The whole thing feels slapped together. Awkward mechanisms that seem to serve no conceivable purpose. I can lift a box, great. Now what? So thing flattens out...why? Steering is difficult, you really can't store the box...it just hangs out near the wheel almost interfering with the function of the vehicle.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is cool looking model but I've never been more disappointed in the fit/finish of a Lego product. The front wheels touch the adjacent pieces so much they don't spin, so you can't roll it around. The mud flap parts that attach to the wheel hub also hardly fit and pop off the wheels at the slightest touch. It's so bad I was convinced we must have made a mistake but I've taken it apart twice and can't find any errors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great build

Although it was somewhat easy to build, there were sometimes that I was glad I had small fingers. Someone with large fingers would not have been able to place some parts.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Lego set for kids!
on September 7, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lego set is great for kids. It has various pieces to allow the user to get creative and engage in building a set. It comes with instructions and the presentation is very nice. The pieces are safe and age appropriate as advertised and when the space truck is complete its very portable. It is nice to play with and also to showcase so it's child friendly and collector friendly!
