Only $120 for the Saturn V?!? That's extremely reasonable for a Lego set, particularly one that's nearly 2k pieces and stands 3ft tall when finished.
As said, on backorder, but I placed an order anyway. |

Quote HistoryThanks. I don't really need it now, though, I'm happy to wait until LEGO.com has more in.
Still, good advice for those that do want one right now.

They made parts count by not giving the astronauts bad ass gold mirrored helmets like they used to have.
Do want though. |

What really sold me on this set, besides the very reasonable price, is the fact that it's not just the rocket, it's basically the entire Apollo program in a box. Command module, LEM, all three stages, all present and work like they're supposed to. You can replicate the entire mission from launch to moon landing to return to Earth and splashdown. Very cool and useful for explaining how the whole thing worked! ETA: Just noticed that the creators of this set have a proposal for a same-scale Crawler to go with it that they'll be submitting this fall! That would make it even better. |

Oh I don't want to wait but I will. I would feel stupid in a month or so when they are everywhere for MSRP. Just hope it doesn't end up being like .22 ammo or the original WII where you had to wait at the stores in the AM before they opened hoping to score. I can see this going that way. Especially if they plan to release the crawler/launch pad later on. I'd have to have those as well. |

I've been meaning to catch back up on this thread.
Walked into the Lego store here in town on the 1st and picked it up, and built it over the next couple days. It is super cool, although popping the first stage off of the rest does carry a hazard of inadvertently causing second stage separation as well if you're not careful. The mission was a catastrophic failure the first time I tried that, as S-IVB and the lunar modules crashed to Earth. Repairs were swift, though. I kind of wish they'd included a second LM, so you could have one on display on the "moon surface", and one properly tucked away inside the rocket. It came with four astronaut micro-figures, I gave one to my son. |

At the risk of appearing to pee in your Post Toasties;
aren't Legos childrens' toys? They were invented way after my children were raised, so I have no reference to the enthusiasm shown in this thread. What am I missing? |

The 14+ age recommendation on the box pretty much confirms that. *This is, by far, the most complex build I've ever seen LEGO do; experienced builders will take several hours on this one. Not kid friendly at all. |

When I was a kid, all the sets were almost immediately busted up and tossed into the "Lego bin" to build whatever. Plus, there is a calming effect on me when I'm building. ETA Plus! Saturn V is just cool!
