LEGO Technic VTOL Heavy Cargo Spaceship LT81, Space Gift Idea for Kids, Space Theme Toy, Vehicle Building Playset for Imaginative Play, Spaceship Toy for 10 Year Olds, 42181

It's a difficult build. Beyond that, it's a beautiful hulk with tremendous size. Amazing stickers but an awful time to apply them all. Im so torn, because in all playability and function this set is supreme. An easy 10/10 score. However its not very accessible to minifigs due to being technic, but the process of the build is just painfully noticeable. Tedious is the word for me. Its worth it, its very worth it. Just be prepared is all I can say. Orange and White look great in person, so bright and the wings/landing gears/pickup system, have the ability to be used all with one hand. Im just so torn! Its an easy perfect score, just such a dread to build.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend and I started with this Lego Technic build-kit. We have already made a few things with Lego like cars and flowers. This is the first big thing! I really love the lego building-kits because it's easy to use and it's really entertaining! You have a “book” which says what you need to do. Everything is packet in bags with numbers on it. The book says what package you should open. This prevents losing pieces. Sometimes there are extra pieces, which I love!

Glad to have gotten this set before it was retired. Great swooshability and many easy-to-use play features for younger kids. Absolutely worth it for the price if you can still get your hands on one. One thing for me is I struggled to follow the instructions at times, as it takes a good eye to see the pieces being connected. Because of this, early on I made a mistake and did not realize it until later, which forced me to restart the entire build. It took 11 hours to finish, but that was because of an error on my part, so the average building time would probably be between 5-8 hours if you concentrate. Overall, an amazing build to have and I'm still so glad to have bought it and built it.

I became obsessed with the design of this set as soon as it was announced. It's a creative ship with nice features. It's solid enough to play with and attractive enough to display. My goal is to eventually figure out how much of it can be motorized and turn it into a Powered-Up set!

We have several grandchildren who look forward to getting Lego sets. They were extremely happy with this set and are proud to display their talents and creativity. Would purchase again due to their enthusiasm while building.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) It is a really good set and it looks great but with 40+ stickers it was a bit disappointing, especially when some of those could of easily been printed parts. Overall a 8/10

As a (hot, pretty and adorable) chemist I enjoyed building this set. I was able to finish it in a day. The only issues is that for some parts it was hard to join them together and you would need to apply a lot of pressure. Very movable parts, displays nicely.

A great, sturdy set that has a ton of features and is great with the other space-themed kits. My kids and I love playing with it and highly recommend to others!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is really cool it took my son and his dad a whole day to build. Has a lot of moving parts and is able to pick up the car with the airplane and hold it while flying.

No minifigures and no way to put one in the cockpit except a difficult disassembly (or two disassemblies if you want both seats full). No studs to stand on anywhere and the nose has an awkward-looking downward tilt to it. Not very compatible with the non-technic space sets and feels a bit off in scale even. Landing gear sags back down by design but you can easily swap some handle pegs for the friction-free ones there to fix it. Can't land with cargo in tow. I do like the swivel-steering rover and the engine opening up to see the cool yellow fuel tubes.
