Base is needlessly complex
on June 11, 2024
Posted by: GleefulInfernox024
I enjoyed this and love the final result. However, I found building the base was an exercise in frustration. The build seemed needlessly complex and is VERY fragile while building (once done it is stable). Indeed, more than once I had to rebuild a section of the base as it crumbled. Still, the rest of the build was lots of fun and again the final product looks great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad build experience
on July 29, 2024
Posted by: Buffbrick
I’m someone who is very used to build Lego sets for many years, regardless of their complexity level, so at 99% of the time I know what I’m getting from Lego. This Artemis set was not the case and I’m disappointed.
The building experience is terrible. Most of the time you will be building the platform and the tower (about 2/3 or more of the set). Those are well engineered components, the repetitive building of the tower didn’t bother me at all, but I was surprised that the rocket only starts on the last two bags.
Their built was annoying with a mix of elements with prints and others with stickers. Again, as someone that’s used to built huge sets with stickers, those are not something I’m not familiar, but the ones in this set were a huge disappointment. The NASA word should be printed, the nameplate should be printed. The round surfaces and poor instruction about sticker location made me feel with the urgency of finish the set as soon as possible and never touch it anymore.
The design of the rockets is poor and they are kind of fragile. Not something that I would recommend to someone that expects to play with the set.
Also it’s unnecessary big and makes display a problem if you don’t have room for it. I’m actually surprised it currently has good reviews on the website as my reviews tends to match the overall rating. My advice is: you can find much better Lego sets with much greater building experience for this price or less. This Artemis set was a big deception for me!!

This Rocket looks impressive, from afar. Build it, you'll quickly realize how flimsy everything is. The tower, the booster rockets, even the launch pad is haphazard. It's a chore to build, especially because the instructions are confusing... or the build is just so repetitive you sleep walk through it. The tower is 75% of the build and that bad boy goes on and on and on, and leans like the Tower of Pisa without proper additives, if you know what I mean. It still looks cool, the rocket boosters are as solid as Gumpy.

Great product, fun build?

It's a little monotonous to build the tower. It just didn't have the fun factor most lego builds do.

A great set with a few minor flaws
on May 30, 2024
Posted by: GroovyFerret089
Overall the set is an excellent. There were only a few minor flaws with it in my opinion.
First, is the use of stickers. This is especially annoying as some of the pieces come with the same pattern pre-printed on them. I can generally apply the stickers so they look right, but next to the pre-printed pieces, it is pretty obvious they were done by hand.
Second, while I do appreciate the launch platform being included, it definitely felt like the focus of the build and not the actual SLS itself. I was expecting a build similar to that of the Saturn-V or Apollo lander. Overall it looks good together, but I would love to have something on the scale of the Saturn-V.
Finally, like many build there are a lot of repeated steps. I feel like the instructions could have been reorganized a little better to streamline creating the multiple duplicate sections.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The set was packaged well. Directions were clear and laid out well. I did end up having two pieces missing. One wasn't a big deal but the other was a functioning piece. And my only other critique. Would be better color matching in the directions to the pieces. Like the clear and orange ones. For the clear pieces put a notation or asterisks to denote clear pieces in the pieces needed box.
I would recommend this to a friend!

i usually am a big fan of lego products but this one is very flimsy and u stable, missing multiple pieces, and the instructions are very in depth so it’s often unclear where some thing goes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
