Review: Fun and educational - Son has just turned 9 and loves space, this is a great lego upgrade. He completed it himself over a few days, it's educational and gets him off YouTube for a few hours. Didn't disappoint.
Review: Excellent Kit and a Delightful Build - Excellent Kit perfectly and correctly shows the how the tilt of the Earth causes the seasons. I really enjoyed building this kit and did so over a period of four days. There are are lots of interlocking gears and its amazing how well they merge together to give smooth motions of the Earth and Moon . I'd suggest to Lego that they next do the four giant moons of Jupiter or Saturn and some its its moons. Get going Lego!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great set for anyone interested in space and the moon
*by S***R on 18 January 2025*

We bought this for our 8 year old son for Christmas as he asked for a Lego set and has shown an interest in space recently. It is marketed for age 10+ which I think is pretty accurate, he could have probably managed to build it on his own but it was a fun thing for him and his dad to build together. We’re very impressed with the quality and functionality of it. When you turn a handle the moon revolves around the earth and the earth around the sun. There are stickers for the months and to show whether we see a full moon, half moon etc. which is a really nice detail. It’s a little bigger than I was expecting but still small enough to sit on a shelf. It’s nice and sturdy once built and has feet to stop it sliding around. As far as Lego sets go I think it was a pretty reasonable price. I’d definitely recommend this set to others!
