As a bit of a Lego fan, I have been pretty excited about this since it was announced last year as a Lego Ideas submission winner. The final kit looks pretty nice, and I had a chuckle at the number of pieces.
That's such exciting news! I've never built anything Lego but I've always loved to see the work- the Space Shuttle one was incredible. As was the Qantas A380 I saw on display at my local Westfield shopping centre.
I wouldn't mind having a go at this, with help. Yikes 1969 pieces . Much scarier than the price .
That's good news, maybe we can be inspired by this baby I photographed for my buddy Ryan McNaught aka "the Brickman" a few years back.
It's 5.4 metres high and incredibly detailed.
Look closely & you'll find R2D2 & C3PO make a guest appearance as well.

gonna have to get at least one of these, saves having to 3d print one (or inspire me to 3D print an even bigger one. I use the garage as my front door and always liked the idea of building the bottom of the boosters end to go floor to ceiling just inside the garage like i have a rocket parked in there some black paint scorch marks on the drive, an chalk outlines too
Its easy Susy, just ask a 9 year old Lego kid, and his 8 year old brother I have two Grandsons that could build that in an afternoon .
They get together on a wet Sunday afternoon and create massive buildings.

Leon, children are so smart it seems these days!
I hope hope they got a chance to see the Lego exhibition touring around Australia. It was at Melbourne Museum a couple of weeks of ago when I was there (Brisbane was the first) and I would've loved to have seen it if I had time.
Andy that's an amazing structure! I saw a YouTube video recently of a full sized car built entirely out of Lego .
They are are listed at $169.99 on the Lego shop, which seems very cheap for a Lego kit of this size. I wonder if it's meant to be $196.90 . They should end up being pretty widely available, based on other Lego Ideas sets. Released June 1st.
Does anyone know where i might be able to purchase one of these? The website is out of stock. I was hoping to buy it for my boys 5th bday in a few weeks

I think they went out of stock very quickly and are currently selling on eBay for about $80 above RRP. If you are prepared to pay that you can probably secure one.
I picked up two sets and have sold my second one to a close friend for RRP.
I will say this is a fabulous kit - it's very cleverly designed "under the hood" - and looks amazing when fully assembled. Certainly has a wow factor.
