- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023The only thing I didn't liked was that for the 1st time since I have been buying from Amazon my package arrived late and there was not a lot of details from the carrier.
But, now let's talk about the main plate, the Lego Set. Altough I was a little bit concerned about the "free frustration package" my product arrived in excelent condition with the original Lego box as well (I was not sure how basic or generic the frustration free option was and I didn't see any detailed information here) but to my surprise and happiness when I opened the box there it was, in all its glory the original box from Lego with the Shuttlle design.
Great quality and I must say my package didn't have any missing pieces, in fact there were some small ones extra (look for the sorting process and packaging of Lego sets on YT, very impressive). 17 plastic bags with all the pieces ordered by construction module. (There are 2 bags labeled "2" with all the necesary parts just in case you may think there are several parts missings as I tought in the beginning)
Step by step instructions very easy to follow. I spent around 3 and half nights assembling it (working adult here) and it was very fun process, discovering all the details and easter eggs.
I would definetly recommend it!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2023My father was gifted this from my mother and I after he had surgery. He was so giddy he immediately wanted to put it together, and he did. Over the course of about two weeks, off and on, he built this GIANT set. The ship itself is about two feet long, and packed to the brim with detail. It's such a fascinating LEGO set and he was so happy about the outcome. Also the telescope is adorable! It also has a lot of nice detail. LEGO never disappoints!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2023I had the 2003 model of the Space Shuttle growing up, and while I wasn't able to keep it all the way into adulthood, I look back extremely fondly on that set. This set really feels like the spiritual successor to that set, but with current lego building and design techniques.
The building experience so far has been a dream. There are definitely some small pieces that require a bit of dexterity to fit, but the average person shouldn't have too much issue with that. They split the set into 17 numbered bags with an 18th, un-numbered bag of several large pieces, and you build in order of the bags. The instruction manual is one giant, 320+ page manual and is fairly easy to read and follow, although there were a couple of steps that I had to really pause and double-take, and then check my work. This is a time-intensive set at just shy of 2400 pieces, but I would not describe the process as monotonous. In fact, with each section, I grow only more and more impressed at the design aptitude of the lego design team, and I could definitely say the design aspect of this set is truly inspiring.
As I write this review, I am just shy of halfway into the build. Unforunately, I have had to stop to reach out to Lego on their website because the entirety of bag 8 was missing from my box. I am not docking LEGO points for this because I completely understand that this kind of thing happens and it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of this set so far, but I did want to make a note of that. I have reached out to lego at lego.com/service to get the situation resolved, and will be updating my review once I hear back/it gets resolved. Since this is a brand new set I bought, I shouldn't have any issues that I can think of, but I did notice that they mention that replacements could take 7-10 business days to ship, so be aware of that if you need replacement parts.
All in all, with that caveat aside, I can wholeheartedly recommend this LEGO set. Who is this set for? In my opinion, this set is for anyone who is a fan of NASA, space travel history, and is a moderately experienced builder with the time and desk space to put this together. Keep in mind the shuttle itself is decently sized - while definitely dwarfed by the likes of the Star Wars UCS spaceships, it still takes a respectable portion of my dining room table to construct, and will take a good portion of a shelf on my bookshelf al on its own. The Hubble Telescope that comes with it is also no slouch - you can fit it in the cargo bay with the panel arrays removed, But I would say that it takes up a good 7-8 inches in length and a very similar size tall.
So yes. If you like Space Shuttles, get this set. Just check to make sure you have all your bags, numbered 1-17 with an 18th un-numbered bag. And if you are missing a bag like I am, reach out to Lego at lego.com/service.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023This my second Lego product (Mclaren F1 First) . It was another Great experience. It was missing one part. Thankfully it was an outer part. So it should be somewhat easy to replace. I don't know how long it will take to get the part. I have heard 3 weeks! While this is a bummer. I can't trash the review. Had it been an early piece in the build. I would probably sing a different tune. I had 59 leftover parts. ALL very small. Final comment. I was able to find the hard to find "Space Station" Looking forward to it!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024My daughter and I used to pick a day around Christmas and do a build of something (usually Lego Architect Series) as a father/daughter day. The Space Shuttle Discovery was my favorite build I have ever done. Displayed proudly with the Hubble Telescope, Saturn V and the ISS... If you are even slightly a fan of NASA, I highly recommend this build. It;s truly an icon of our past space history and the detail this piece has is awesome, with working landing gear and rudders, as well as the cargo department that can store the Hubble or you can have it displayed next to the piece separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful set to build & display!!
Although this set is rated 18+, the build is structured in stages with separate bags of pieces for each set. This makes it actually quite easy to build, and my 11yo son had no trouble building this completely on his own.
My only complaint about the set is that the display stand for the Hubble is completely useless, there is no realistic way to balance it. We'll need to source a plate or something to make the base larger.
Overall, this is a great piece to accompany the Apollo Saturn V rocket we build together a few years ago. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love LEGO!
Disappointed with the delivery took awhile to get, very happy with the Space Shuttle LEGO can’t wait to get started on it, looks so realistic.
I gave it four stars because of the delivery delay, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space Lego? Shut up and take my money!
Ok... who didn't grow up with Lego? If you had a kid(s) you got a chance to grow up with it twice. Now that my daughter is a grown adult herself and off to live in the world, I wanted one more chance to play with Lego. Being an adult, give me the biggest, toughest Lego kit ever and I'll get it done. In a couple weeks, maybe a month or two... Ok.. Ok... I'm taking the entire 2022 to get it done. Wish me luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing!
Amazing! The details are super nice, the landing gears are actuated, it comes with Hubble, and Hubble can be displayed 3 different ways. This is definitely eye candy for space geeks.
