Review: Building this set was SUPER fun!!! As a Lego Technic lover and space lover, I saw this set and immediately said "I WANT THAT ONE"! On top of a fun build process, I did some research into it and learned a lot of cool stuff, too! 🥰 Here's some interesting facts: 1. This kind of mechanical solar system diorama has a name, it's called an "orrery"! 2. This orrery makes 365 rotations for earth, and about 13 rotations for the moon per 1 year cycle 3. The tilt angle of the earth is ALSO scientifically accurate as well, making this EVEN COOLER!!! The Lego piece holding the earth has a 157.5 degree angle, 180-157.5 = 22.5 degrees, and earth's REAL tilt obliquity is 23.4 degrees, making this Lego model 0.9 degrees off from reality. (less than a single degree!!! are you kidding??? 🤯) Applying the stickers to the big round parts can be tricky, but with enough patience it's certainly doable! You may need to stick and re-stick a tiny part of them to the pieces a couple times to get their placement correct, but the adhesive is sticky enough to handle that just fine without it causing them to start peeling off afterwards. An absolutely BEAUTIFUL display piece by Lego, bravo to them... I've had many friends come over and play with it, too! Very educational, great conversation starter, and a great build to help decorate your place with 🥰
Review: Excelente.

Hoooo-Leeeeee cow! Lego totally knocked it out of the park with this one! It is perfection in engineering and a true marvel. We are a devoted Lego family with an entire room dedicated to it, and we love the thought and effort that goes into creating modern Lego sets, especially on the Technic side. But this one is seriously next level. Turning the crank causes the earth to rotate, going through it's daily orbit. In the past, I've tried teaching my six year old how the sun rises and sets with a full size globe and flashlight, but that's the limit of what you can demonstrate with two hands. Trying to show how the moon also orbits and how the seasons work as they revolve around the sun- forget about it. You have to resort to a whiteboard and that's when their attention span wanes. This Lego build was not only fun to do together, but when complete, it does the perfect job of showing how all the orbits in the system work with each other. After 30-ish revolutions of the earth on its axis showing the days, the moon has made a full revolution around the earth showing a month. And meanwhile, both earth and moon are orbiting the sun and have made it 1/12th of the way around. The months are marked on the base ring, with a pointer indicating the current month. And as the earth and moon revolve, the earth's axial tilt changes and proximity to the sun as well as they revolve through the seasons. We're often in awe of what Lego engineers can create, and our last build was the Lego John Deere skidder, which we thought was a marvel of engineering. But we're even more blown-away-impressed at this. For space fans or just plain Lego fans, you'll love it. As for the build itself, it's listed by Lego as appropriate for 10 year olds. That means that some sections really do require a bit more guidance for younger kids, and a time or two where even this adult did some head-scratching and grimacing to figure out where a piece went. Not a criticism of the instructions, that is normal when it's rated 10 as they are inherently more complicated. Counting occasional snack breaks, and the inevitable outbreak of a monster-gun-fights, it took three hours to build. I wish I could give this more than five stars.
