Space and Lego fans alike should be over the moon with this stunning Lego NASA Artemis set.
Lego has knocked it out of the park and into orbit with this fantastic recreation of the Artemis Space Launch System. There are some repetitive sections in the build, but it’s worth persevering through those occasional lows for one of the best looking space sets that Lego has ever put out.
There are loads of clever and varied techniques used to keep things fresh, and two of the platform's sides have exposed details to make it look a bit more interesting. The instruction book explains that these aren't present on the actual SLS launch pad, alongside a bunch of other fun facts that are scattered throughout the booklet. We really appreciated these little nuggets of information that cover the SLS itself, as well as the history of Lego space sets.
There are a ton of stickers to put on the rocket and boosters, and some of them are very hard to line up without nearby reference points . It's odd, because about half of the insignia and other designs are printed pieces, so we’re not sure why they didn't just make them all printed pieces? Perhaps they'd need to do twice as many because of the flipped orientation of the two boosters? Still, booooo stickers.
While we moaned about the stickers, they do add a lot of cool visual flair to the rocket and boosters, plus there are loads of other physical adornments too. We especially love the intricate pipes and cables that run up the tower. There are a fair few moving parts to enjoy as well, including the bridge that the astronauts cross to enter the Orion module, along with various clamps and refueling arms that run up the tower.
