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.
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.
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Far too repetitive of a set

As much as I've liked all of the NASA themed sets, this one is the first that I've felt compelled enough to leave a negative review. Extremely repetitive and seems that they opted for smaller blocks if for no other reason than to get the pieces count higher. When one step shows 88 of the same item that's needed, you know you did something wrong. I've built sets that are 3X the number of pieces that don't have this much repetition.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sloppy Design

Lego is rushing out products with poor design and sloppy builds. It's getting quite ridiculous considering the price.
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.
