LEGO Technic Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit Model Building Set, Outer Space Toys for 10 Plus Year Old Kids, Boys & Girls, Solar System Toy for Imaginative, Independent Play, Birthday Gift Idea 42179

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.

good fun set works well came with good instructions lots of fun easy to assemble and looks great

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!

Such a clever set. Fun to build, great quality. There were no pieces missing. It was slightly bigger than I expected but a really nice set.

bought this for my 11 year old grandson. He built it fine using the typical clear Lego instructions. All the mechanics work well and its very educational.

A very well put together kit, decently sized, fit's just right on a shelf when I'm not disassembling/reassembling it for fun. Definitely requires some skill in putting together, a few mistakes were made that took a while to correct, but it's view on my shelf is worth it.

A moving model which looks great. It was a gift for my daughter and she was thrilled.

Bought as a gift but on a black Friday price and was really happy with this. Work with a lego geek who said this was the best set they'd done for years, so I got it for my partners first set. He hasn't opened it yet but it's a challenging one and should take a while to build. Also has movable parts so excited to see this fully going!
