Just a delight

I wasn't born when the original Galaxy Explorer came out in the 70s, but I still have intense nostalgia for it, after bringing it back to life out of a pile of blue and grey pieces I got from my grandparents that'd belonged to my dad. It felt like a kind of archeology following along the pdf instructions I'd downloaded and finding all the pieces I needed mixed in to the mess. Building this larger, cooler, (cleaner) interpretation was delightful, I could plainly feel how it had been designed by someone who loved the old set even more than I. Every colour choice, every more detailed feature, every satisfying triangular connection, every classy printed brick felt really considered. Great design, lovely box art, I really like it. I want five

Galaxy Explorer: The build is out of this world!!

I was eyeing this set up for a while then finally bought it to build while away on holiday and I wasn't disappointed... Fun and satisfying build from start to finish and perfectly fits in with the rest of my Classic Space LEGO collection. To be honest I might buy another two to build the alternate 924 and 918 builds. Thank you LEGO for an amazing product! Please keep making more Classic Space sets!!!

Verified Purchase

A Lego value that's Out of this World!

To start, this set measures at 20.5 inches long by 12.5 inches wide. Its competitive retail price is 100$ with a piece count of 1,254. And though this set is recommended for ages 18 , it very much appeals to both kids and adults alike. The build is large, well detailed and very sturdy for easy play. My 6 year old cousin came over for a visit and this set was an instant hit when it came to play time. The built-in rover ramp also gives kids a ground vehicle to play with in addition to the very large spaceship. With the recommended age and complexity of the build, I would suggest that both the kids and the adults build this together. Comparative to this set for 100$ is the Lego Star Wars Inquisitor Transport Scythe, available at all retailers, with 924 pieces and measuring 14.5 inches long. If the original build for this model is too large, Lego does offer official alternative building instructions on their website (not included in box) for secondary and tertiary smaller builds. Unfortunately, you can only build one model per set purchased and as fair warning, most of if not all included bags will be required to obtain the necessary parts for the alternative builds, while leaving behind a lot of extra parts. Both alternative builds for this set, of course, do also offer the same stability for kids as well. I have included a photo of the main model next to the aforementioned Inquisitor Transport Scythe, along with a photo of the secondary build that scales more favorably. In the scheme of not only Lego value but also toy value, especially in this economy, even at its competitive retail price, is a phenomenal offer for the experience, variety and play. If you have a Lego fan of any age, this certainly is the Lego must-have set of 2022.
