LEGO Classic Space Mission Set - 1700 Pieces

it was great set, especially as the first one. I just wish the instructions were for everything on the picture. the only instructions are included is for the shuttle and the apollo rocket, the other ones are assembled based on the picture

Son is obsessed with space so this was perfect.

These lego where hard to find, our grand child was looking forward to get it. Everything appears to be exactly as what he was looking for.

Excellent collection of bricks to augment a young builders imagination. Great value for the number of bricks you get. My boys loved the variety of bricks and the options it gave them for their own creations.

No they don't tell you how to build the purple alien. Nor do they provide any idea with what to do with the many different bags labelled 3 4 or 5. Nor do they provide digital instructions. Beyond the 1 and 2 in the box but ... They provide some unusual bricks and bricks in unusual colors. ... Including the new emergency vehicle yellow. A huge number of bricks around 1700 this set makes an awesome gift even if you get the impression parts of it are missing.

I mostly builds mocs and stuff, so I bought this for the pieces which are also cheaper than most other Lego sets. This was the perfect set for that.

Overall it is a good set but, I wish they could provide some building instructions for bags 3,4 and 5. It is little bit hard and frustrating for a 5 year old who just started their lego journey

My son is loving this set but is a bit frustrated by the fact there's several numbered bags and no instructions for them. He's having a lot of fun with the set overall though.

This set has plenty of colourful bricks. For most sets in the range, half the pieces are used for the models in the instructions, leaving half for the first of your own models. In this set there are just 2 instruction booklets but another 3 bags with no more instructions. They tease about there being something online but there is no more there either. Had it been online, that would not have been enough for me; as a set for younger children it should all be in the paper instructions as screen-time is rationed. What there should be is just one more booklet with enough views of the models suggested for bags 3, 4 and 5 for builders of all ages to be able to work out how to build them using the techniques they learned with bags 1&2. It doesn't necessarily need the same level of detailed instructions but just enough encouragement to apply the learning and succeed in making them. As it is, the challenge may test an adult as one cannot see the supporting bricks behind the scenes. The extra-view pictures would be more in line with the old ideas books (222, 7777) that got us to work out how it was done, embedding the learning and the elation of success. A second point is the colours. This set is Space-themed but has no bricks in "Bright Blue", which is the LEGO Classic Space colour. For that I will have to look to the Galaxy Explorer 10497. Apart from that, I did like the colours of the Earth model, especially the "Bright Green", and the light azur was appropriate for the sea. The bright bluish green, medium lilac, gold, bright reddish violet, vibrant coral and vibrant yellow brick colours are also appreciated, with more of those here than in other sets. I was also pleased with the 8 turntables. The overall question for the LEGO hobby is the balance between many differently coloured bricks in the Classic theme and how to make the transition towards having enough bricks in the same colour to build more-realistic representations of real-world items as My Own Creations. Another reason to buy Classic sets is that the average brick price is a lot less than buying from Bricks and Pieces, especially for the standard 2x4 brick. As an experienced LEGO builder and Adult Fan Of LEGO, I deliberately bought a range of classic sets to explore a wide range of colours in a variety of pieces that were not in the other sets I usually buy. This set is great for casual fun building as a break from the more-serious scale modelling and technical modelling. The box is able to store extra bricks but is not as useful in shape as the trays of 11019 or 11020, or especially the sorting tray of 11021. It tends to favour vertical orientation once opened. Classic LEGO has always been the foundation supporting other themes and this set is one of a range of sets that does it very well, though some other sets are a bit better. For the instructions reason above I would rather recommend other Classic sets.

This set was already opened and this was not disclosed. We really have no way to know if all the correct pieces are there since it is not an actual "set" to build--just a bulk box of pieces.
