Sehr schönes „Spielzeug“ . Unser Enkel ist 10 und es fasziniert ihn. Natürlich hat der exakte Aufbau einige Zeit in Anspruch genommen aber er hat es allein ohne fremde Hilfe geschafft und ist nun zu Recht stolz darauf. Es steht auf seinem Schreibtisch.

This is a really great set for Lego/space enthusiasts. Quite a good challenge for intermediate Lego builders and an outcome that is fun to use and to show others. Big hit with our son.

Vår son tyckte den var mycket roligt att bygga. Dessutom visar den hur det funkar med jorden, månen och solen på ett bra sätt.

Podobno wspaniałe. Dużo się kręci elementów. Dość skomplikowany, pobudza wyobraźnię.

The LEGO® Technic Planet Earth and Moon set was an absolute blast to build! Pros: Incredible construction techniques: The engineering behind this set is fantastic. It replicates the orrery-style motion beautifully, with the Earth and Moon’s relative movements and the rotation of both the Sun and Earth! It’s fascinating to see it in action after building. Engaging and educational: The build process was super enjoyable, and I learned a lot about how the mechanics worked. It took me about an hour to complete at a relaxed pace, and I loved every minute of it. Perfect for space enthusiasts: If you're into space or astronomy, this set is a must-have. It’s not only fun but also a cool display piece. Cons: Sticker application: The only minor downside is the use of stickers for the month labels and the moon phases on the Earth section. They’re long and thin, so you need to be extra careful applying them, but they’re not too hard to adjust if needed. Overall, this is a fantastic set, highly recommended for anyone who loves LEGO and has a passion for space. The mechanics and design make it both a fun and educational experience!
