This will be given to our daughter on her birthday in October, but I know she'll love it. She started building Lego Architecture kits during her last year as a graduate student, while she wrote the final draft of her dissertation and applied to practically all the universities that had openings, a very stressful time. She's wanted the Saturn V ever since it came out, and I was thrilled to find it on ebay. I may add to this review after it's built, but in the meantime I can attest to the marvelous job Lego does with directions and never, ever, a missing piece. Very very happy that we can make our daughter happy and relaxed this first year of teaching.

This lego set seems like it had had been stored in a high heat environment, such as an attic, for an extended period of time.

Loved building this lego set. I'm really not a lego attic, but building this set inspired me to learn about what really went into the technology, engineering and skill to build the real thing over 50 years ago. A lot of thought went into crafting this kit as well. Really fun and inspirational.

It was fun building it with my grandson. I worked on Apollo 11, 12, and 13. It’s not all that accurate, but it does look good. I told my grandson that some of the LEGOs on the real Saturn V were as big as a house. I explained that it was a joke because real Saturn V wasn’t made out of LEGOs. It would be nice to see a LEGO Launch Tower for the Saturn V.

Got this more my elderly father for his b-day. He loves i! Mom says he works on it everyday. My 58 yr old cousin spent 3 hours one day helping him one day. Best thing I’ve got him in years.

This set is highly detailed and fun to put together. It roughly took me 4 hours to put together, which is time well spent. This set features both playability and display-ability and is a welcome addition to any space or LEGO fan’s collection. I cannot recommend this set enough. It’s fun to put together, fun to play with, exciting to look at, and is extremely durable. I have no complaints, this set is just that good! Not to mention it also includes a little section about the history surrounding the real life rocket, which is exciting for anyone even remotely into space. I give this 5 stars and definitely recommend to anyone interested.

Beautiful set! My boys have a blast playing with this, taking off the different parts, and putting back together. The set is large, and not entirely stable- but plenty sturdy overall.

The LEGO Saturn V Apollo Space Rocket kit is just plain phenomenal!! The designers must be geometrical wizards. It is an interesting build, not for the novice or faint of heart. Lots of underpinning necessary to create a sturdy round object from square parts. It looks very much like the real thing with all the stages securely interlocked but can be easily separated. Over 3 feet tall!! Plus moon lander and recovery capsule details. I cannot say enough good about this kit including the price for 1969 parts ($120 MSRP). More like a $200+ kit. If your a rocket or space history fan--GO GET IT!!!.

This is such a great Lego: a real challenge to build, an amazing model. It's huge! A real scale build, provides an accurate perspective of scale and complexity (what I mean by that is lego could have used one piece for many parts, but they require you to use 50 to DIY, which is more fun, and complex). Love it.

Great set. My daughter and I had a great time putting it together, and now it's on display in my office!
