Even buying it is at full price, you are getting a good value for both individual bricks, as well as build time. In the end, the International Space Station is a solid set. Columbus Orbital Facility and Japanese Experiment Module… I think. Since I am not sure about the wide-scale interest of this set, I rate the AFOL score at 4/5 (80%).Ĭlick here to read my Apollo 11 Lunar Lander review. I will display it with my Apollo 11 Lunar Lander set from last summer. However, now that I have it, I do really like the set. I suspect others with less enthusiasm for science might feel the same. Including some Minifigure representations of actual astronauts to put on the display base would have gone a lot farther towards making this set marketable to me personally. That has a lot to do with my personal preference for sets with Minifigures. However, I probably would not have bought this set for budget reasons if I am being honest. I am a science geek, and I love space sets. With that said, this set will stay on display for a while in my LEGO® room. As such, I will rate the entertainment score for this International Space Station review only using the AFOL score this time around (usually I average it with a KFOL score). The result is a nice display piece with no play value. The International Space Station markets as a 16+ set geared for adults. I rate the overall build experience for the International Space Station at 95%.Īstronaut Micro-figurines. Repetitive building is at times an issue, if that sort of thing bothers you. I also learned a lot about the actual ISS as I tried to figure out what each part of the model was. The build experience is a good one, and it is fun to see how it all comes together into the final product. While being a micro-scale set, the ISS is none-the-less detailed. Amazingly, the ISS set does not contain any stickers! Solar panel array. Also included, there are radiators on the exterior of the station. However, from a quick comparison with a diagram of the actual ISS, I believe that I can locate the ESA Columbus Orbital Facility, the Japanese experiment module, the US habitation module, the US Destiny lab module, the Zarya control module, and the Russian service module. I am not familiar enough with the construction of the real ISS to accurately name all the modules included in this model. Additionally, the Canadarm2 inclusion is a fun detail for Canadian space enthusiasts. Each of the eight panel arrays can also rotate. It has two rotating sections that allow the realistic positioning of the solar panel arrays. Once fully assembled, the ISS measures about 49 cm wide.
