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

Great kit, but huge once built.

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

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.

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......!!

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!

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.

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 fun to build, very accurate to real Saturn V. Looks great on a shelf 10/10 👍

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!

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!

I enjoyed building this massive set! It looks awesome! The biggest surprise for me was that there are now stickers, everything is just printed on plastic. Highly recommend!

this kit is amazing. You will be amazed at the level of detail that went into its design and how good it looks when put together. It is realistic, beautiful, and a pleasure to build. It's also larger and more imposing than I anticipated, reflecting the grandeur of the original Saturn V. The included figurines really help to put the scale of this rocket into proportion. It is one thing to have seen those spectacular launch images, but to see a physical, realistic model is quite another! It's modular, so you can easily snap the first, second, third stage, and CSM apart. There's even room for the LEM inside the Lunar Module Adaptor! The CSM separates as well allowing you to replay the major maneuvers of the Apollo mission. The model also includes a good looking LEM and 2 set-pieces so that you can mount and display the LEM with the astronaut figurines on lunar soil (US flag included!) and the CM after its ocean landing. I can think of only a few minor improvements. (1) The Launch Escape System is difficult to separate from the Command Module, meaning that you can't easily dock the CM with the LEM (one of the pivotal maneuvers of the Apollo missions). This is however possible with the LEM that is intended for the ocean landing set-piece (also a niece touch BTW!). The CM on the rocket is also just one single piece that is completely white with no detail whatsoever. This may approximate how it looked at launch time, but even a few small surface details would have made it look much better (2) The LEM is not easily mounted in the Lunar Module Adapter. It needs a stud that is already used by lunar set piece, but the kind of quick release snap used to keep the stages together would have been better. Overall I would say a LOT of pieces and detail went into the (often invisible) internals of the first, second, and third stages, but the the CSM, LEM, Launch Escape System, and Lunar Module Adaptor are not as well developed. That's a shame because those are arguably the most interesting parts of the rocket. That said, this is an amazing kit and you will not be disappointed. Thanks Lego!
