I did mine in around 5-6 hours. Not challenging for the most part, a very repetitive build in some parts. If you missed out and don't mind the Chinese Challenge with the twenty bags of mixed up parts, the knockoff flavor is around $80 on AliExpress. Lepin Saturn V |

My wife once bought me a knock off kit, I wasn't impressed.
I'll see if I can find out what brand it was when I get home. |

PLEASE register on the Lego webpage and support this. Same guys who did the Saturn V want to do a LUT as well to go with it. Support" is just a quick survey...no fee. I'd LOVE to see this become a reality |

I work with a guy who does that on purpose. He don't want the build to go too fast so he mixes all the parts up as step #1. it slows me down considerably instead of just sitting down and throwing it together I spend about 30 minutes here and there working on it |

I replaced a couple pieces that were bad by buying them direct from Lego. Depending on what's warping your bow, you might consider it. I mean, yeah, it isn't 100% Lego quality, but for $120 for a 3200 piece set that is $1000 now, I was happy. I'll settle for the 90% good enough factor. I'll probably get some of the other big sets too, just need to figure out where to put them. The Star Destroyer and Tantive IV builds are calling my name. The Nebulon-B MOC they have looks interesting, if fragile. Damn you Chinese Legos.

My 3 yo son would love it. Unfortunately, if I buy it for him, I could not open it for a few years until he gets older. As it is, I step on LEGO pieces daily.
