LEGO 10266 Creator Expert NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander Model Building Kit with Astronaut Minifigures, Collectible Home Décor Gift Idea

Product Information

All in all, the set can be assembled in just a couple of hours. Even though some building steps feel a little bit monotonous, the set will leave you wanting for more! Finished model New-for-June-2019 decorated elements include an Apollo 11 Lunar lander nameplate and golden elements.

Just like LEGO Architecture sets, this one comes with a printed with a name of the set tile. I believe this one tiny detail really sets the mood and gives the set a very special feel an anniversary product deserves.

Two astronauts are included, representing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Numerous minifigures are intended to depict astronauts from the Apollo program and none are especially effective in my opinion. However, this bulky helmet assembly is certainly a reasonable facsimile of the real suits and I love the metallic gold visor covering the face of each astronaut. LEGO space model building set This collectible moon lander model features an elaborate replica of Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module, complete with accessories. The display model comes with separate ascent and descent stages - the descent stage comes with gold-coloured landing pads and panels, an opening camera and laser hatches, and a ladder, while the ascent stage has a detailed interior with room for 2 astronauts. Finished with an Apollo 11 Lunar Lander nameplate. Neil Armstrong activated a television camera while descending the ladder and that important feature is replicated here. Opening a hatch beside the ladder reveals the camera which appears fairly simple but is instantly recognisable. I appreciate the printed tape reels and the white colour scheme distinguishes this television camera from its surroundings, although silver would have been more realistic. This is an excellent set, which looks particularly striking due to the large number of 310 Metalized Gold Gold parts, iconic shape, and the lunar landscape that it’s sitting on. It is a fantastic display piece, which will look great in your home or displayed proudly on your desk at work.

The central section of the landing stage is octagonal which requires some repetitive building and some clever techniques to attach the four off-grid sides. This collectible model features a highly detailed replica of Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module, plus a depiction of the lunar surface, complete with crater, footprints and a U.S. flag. The descent stage comes with gold-coloured landing pads and panels, opening camera and laser hatches, and a ladder, while the ascent stage has a detailed interior with room for 2 astronauts. Finished with an Apollo 11 Lunar Lander nameplate, this display model makes a great centerpiece for the home or office and provides a challenging and rewarding building experience full of nostalgia. Includes 2 astronaut minifigures with NASA decoration and golden helmets. This advanced LEGO set features a detailed replica of the Eagle lunar lander with separate ascent and descent stages, plus a depiction of the lunar surface with crater, footprints and a U.S. flag.

Another quadrant of the lander hides a camera that filmed Armstrong as he climbed down the ladder and made the first step in the surface. The camera is built with just three pieces, but its nice to see a 1×2 printed tile with a tape pattern which has been around since 1990. In the fourth bag, we build the Ascent Stage, which is comprised of three modules which you can disassemble to see inside.
