What a blast…

This was really fun to build. I didn’t find it to be too challenging of a build but I did have fun building it. When I put it on display it actually looks like it is ready for takeoff.
The Artemis SLS set is a must have for any space enthusiast. This is the rocket that will take us back to the moon. First, the launch platform is a fun build with creative detailing. Second, the launch platform is knowingly repetitive but very satisfying to see rise floor by floor. fun technical feature of the swing away arms and boarding platform to colorful red piping that draws the eye up the length of the platform. Lastly, but not least of all is the rocket and solid fuel boosters. a surprisingly solid build that easily stands on its own and has a couple of teachers to the launch tower for added stability. Honestly, the stickers were a nightmare, at least for me but came out well in the end. The end result is a stunning display set. One of my most favorite and a real conversation started. Well done Lego !
I enjoyed putting this set together. I don’t love the stickers. The price seems appropriate for what you get. I am a bit disappointed because so much of the build was the platform, I think only 3 bags for the smallish shuttle itself.
think its a great model . I don't like that its not straight it has a lean and had a missing part . I will order that later and also check on my other parts missing from my bat cave
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for leaving us a review. We're sorry to hear about the missing part. If this piece isn't just hiding on the floor or stuck in the packaging somewhere, visit LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV to request what you need!
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.
