Review: Cool mechanism that will please Lego and space enthusiasts - This is a really great set for Lego/space enthusiasts. Quite a good challenge for intermediate Lego builders and an outcome that is fun to use and to show others. Big hit with our son.
Review: Great set for anyone interested in space and the moon - We bought this for our 8 year old son for Christmas as he asked for a Lego set and has shown an interest in space recently. It is marketed for age 10+ which I think is pretty accurate, he could have probably managed to build it on his own but it was a fun thing for him and his dad to build together. We’re very impressed with the quality and functionality of it. When you turn a handle the moon revolves around the earth and the earth around the sun. There are stickers for the months and to show whether we see a full moon, half moon etc. which is a really nice detail. It’s a little bigger than I was expecting but still small enough to sit on a shelf. It’s nice and sturdy once built and has feet to stop it sliding around. As far as Lego sets go I think it was a pretty reasonable price. I’d definitely recommend this set to others!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good kit, fun to make and kind of educational.
*by P***D on 26 June 2025*

Excellent little Lego kit, educational (up to a point) and fun to make over Christmas with a few glasses of pro and movies on in the background. If you like Lego, this is easy to assemble, but enough of a challenge to make it interesting. Once built, crank the handle to see a representation of orbits. Also marvel at how everyone and everything would fly off the planet if you were God.
