If you’re new to the Technic line, this is an incredibly rewarding build to start with. It offers a clever, straightforward demonstration of how gears and levers interact. A great design touch is the functioning gearbox lid, which lets you easily peek at the internal mechanisms once the build is complete. My only critique is that the back of the main booster lacks full structural coverage, as enclosing it would make a more realistic active play. Still, it's an absolute must-have build for kids and adults alike.
I will never buy a technic set again!! So frustrating to build and stickers need to go!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A fun start to building further space crafts. I did find it difficult at times to distinguish between certain colors, but was able to logically work it out. I would like to see a better way of placing the decals in the box, with the movement of the bags oG bricks, several came apart from their sheet and stuck to the inside of the box. Maybe package them separately so that won’t occur.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the damaged stickers in your set. If you haven't already, get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV to request new ones at no charge.
This build is so Interactive. It moves, has interactive connected pieces that my son absolutely loves. I think it's one of the most entertaining sets he's built since he can play with it instead of it just sitting there once it's done
What a fun build! Normally I'm not much of a technic builder, but I may have to change that. This was a super satisfying build where the functionality truly brought it to the next level. How incredibly satisfying to get to 'launch' the Artemis II after putting it together! This is a win for Technic and non Technic fans alike and a must have for any fans of space!
This build was so fun as there are different mechanics at play and the movement of the rocket as you build it kept us even more entertained and excited. Being able to see the gears was a plus too! The final product did not disappoint!
