LEGO Ideas Nasa Apollo Saturn V 21309 Building Kit (1969 Piece)

Like: All pieces present, completed product is a good size, decals and curved pieces help to create a pleasing model that remains visibly LEGO. Glad it separates into sections.Improvements: I read reviews by others (Grateful for their honesty): I glued many pieces especially smaller ones or at stress points. (Ive no intention of dismantling). Agree with others, the bottom section's vents would be better as curved pieces or sticky decals. Having saved up £200 to buy this: the capsule water landing and moon lander could be 2x better. Neil Armstrong stepping down...Has any smart app developer got a phone camera to scan a bag of LEGO and list the pieces?Bottomline: Engaging kit linked to a special moment in history. Tip my hat to all who made the real Saturn V

Bought for my 20+ son for Christmas 22! He loves it, he's into & owns all the NASA range. This set is, as normal of excellent quality, the build design is very well thought out & is of a solid construction. My son bought a wall mounting kit for each module of this rocket & on the wall looks totally awesome. For the disearning Lego builder this is a set to buy for sure!

The set is awesome! One of the most iconic Lego space sets. The box arrived in perfect condition. However, the images on the website are a bit misleading, because the images show the set number 92176, but the title tells the older set 21309, and we received the 21309. Rest everything was perfect.

Usual Lego high quality, accurate & educational plus fun to build. Having looked & researched other models both in the UK & abroad, this is by far the best. But be quick because sadly, I believe, this is going to be discontinued. The separate 3rd party base & lighting units (also available from Amazon) are an excellent addition. Also my order arrived much quicker than anticipated.

In the box there were 12 bags of lego and I decided to open 1 bag per day. The first 6 bags were for the 1st stage and after starting the build I couldn’t stop and had it completed in 3 days. Its so addictive.I grew up in the sixties and watched the launch of these mighty rockets on television so when I saw this model I just had to buy it.It was a lot of fun building it.

Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this GREAT kit yet! Whilst it only took me around 60 hours to put together, it was the most enjoyable way of passing a rainy ‘extended’ weekend! Arrived in excellent order and very quickly....good seller! I’ve bought a transparent corner shelf (from Amazon of course!) and the model now sits proudly above my desk in the study. There is a Lunar Lander and a better return to Earth capsule, for an extra display, but, I placed the Lunar Lander inside the rocket, where it should be, and I used the ‘better’ (right colour and decals) return Capsule on the top! Pleased, you bet!

Great kit, but huge once built.

Although a few days late (delayed in transit), the package arrived in supreme condition. And not a single missing part! I've built it and she stands tall and proud... she's a beaut! Just received Shuttle Discovery - laterz......!!

Ich bin absolut begeistert von diesem Modell der NASA Apollo Saturn V! Als Raumfahrt-Fan war dieses Set ein absolutes Muss – und es hat meine Erwartungen sogar noch übertroffen.Die Rakete ist über einen Meter hoch (ca. 100 cm) und besteht aus mehreren abnehmbaren Stufen, genau wie das Original. Man merkt sofort, wie viel Liebe zum Detail in diesem Modell steckt. Auch die beiliegenden Mini-Kapseln – das Apollo Command Module und das Lunar Module – sind super gestaltet.Der Aufbau hat richtig Spaß gemacht. Die Anleitung war klar und logisch aufgebaut, sodass der Zusammenbau trotz der vielen Teile (über 1.900!) gut machbar war. Ich hatte damit ein paar gemütliche Abende voller Baufreude.Was mir besonders gefällt:Detailtreue: Die Saturn V ist nicht nur groß, sondern auch historisch akkurat aufgebaut.Stabilität: Trotz ihrer Größe ist sie erstaunlich stabil.Deko-Wert: Sie sieht im Regal oder auf einem Podest einfach großartig aus und ist ein echter Blickfang.Lernfaktor: Gerade für Kinder und Jugendliche ein tolles Set, um spielerisch mehr über Raumfahrt zu lernen.Fazit: Für alle Weltraum-Interessierten, Modellbau-Fans oder LEGO-Sammler ein absolut lohnenswerter Kauf. Preis-Leistung stimmt, und das Modell ist einfach ein Stück Geschichte zum Anfassen!

My lego collection on my desk at work consists primarily of Star Wars vehicles, (X Wings, Tie Fighters, AT-ST) etc. The collection got it's Genesis from when we took a family vacation to Legoland and Dad had to have a Lego X-Wing...as a souvenir, of course. Well, the collection has grown to include some more fighters, a MIDI scale star Destroyer and Falcon, and a small Saturn V that I picked up (as a souvenir of course) at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville.My son had recently gotten me the newest AT-ST for my desk and as I was perusing amazon for reviews of my kit, I stumbled across this Saturn V.....Wow....1969 pieces, (nice touch), and only $120.00. I had to get it.The model dwarfs everything else on my desk, but I don't care. It is my favorite by miles.This model is just so detailed it's uncanny. Perhaps it's not quite up to Ultimate Collectors Series, but I'm not really sure how they could have crammed any more detail in it.Documentation: The documentation of this product is beautiful. The first two dozen pages are dedicated to a history of the Apollo program plus a profile page of the lego ideas designers who originally envisioned this kit, as well as the lego employees who worked to make it a reality. The remaining 175 pages are dedicated to construction. The instructions are clear and the bags easily identifiable.Build: The build is very interesting. There are some repetitive steps but they are not too bad. One really nice feature of this build is NO STICKERS. To me, stickers are the bane of Lego and anytime I see a sticker sheet, I cringe. No such problems with this kit. The pieces themselves are all printed with whatever custom graphics they need. I like that.Swooshability. At 1 meter tall, the model is not very "swooshable" but I do appreciate that all the stages and their associated rocket engines are adequately scaled and detachable. Both the Lunar Lander and the CM which is displayed on their dedicated "moon" and "ocean" plates are the same scale of the rest of the model. You can even place the Lunar Lander in it's proper place on the vehicle. You can also swap out the command module on the rocket (which is skinned to appear to have the blast shield from the tower jettison rocket in place) with the grey one so that you can actually dock the CM to the LM. The model can be easily modified to represent every aspect of the apollo mission profile, so it serves a great visual when explaining how everything worked together to get people to the moon. Another great feature is the fact that the micro-figure astronauts included are also in scale. So you get an idea of just how massive the actual vehicle was. Nice touchOverall this model is a fantastic value. The build is challenging but not overly so. The model is definitely solid and can be displayed either horizontally or vertically. For any child (or adult) who has a love of the space program, this is a must buy.

Muy buen producto y una buena opción de compra por éste medio

I received the package 📦 just 3 days after placing the order, and it arrived in perfect condition with no signs of damage. You preserved it really well—thank you for saving this amazing LEGO set for me!

After completing the NASA Shuttle and the Ferrari Technic kits, I was prepared to enjoy this kit as much as the previous two. I forgot one important thing: rockets are round - LEGO blocks are square. In order to fit round panels onto square blocks, the designers relied on structural pieces that connect using single “pins” (for lack of the correct word). This results in a structure that does not resist to pressure, such as the one needed to affix other parts. The result? Start again, and again as your construct collapses into its individual pieces, 1900+ of them.I must confess that I suffer from moderate Essential Tremor which did not stop me from building and enjoying the two previous kits, but be advised that a steady hand is mandatory for the Saturn V. This kit was not designed with me in mind.Edit January 28: I’ve completed this kit and despite my issues with shaking, I am totally impressed with the finished product. It’s impressive, it’s slick, it’s huge. Five stars. Thanks
