Love the look and the display of the final build. I received this as a gift.

I purchased this product to show my grandson how the solar system works. I built the product. It was a great use of technic building components to demonstrate the motion of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth.

the amount of frustration i went through trying to find ONE piece was actually crazy, i stayed up to 1:30 in the morning trying to find this ONE TINY GEAR that was missing. i almost cried myself to sleep and i was so close to finishing it too.

This set is truly awe inspiring. The painstaking efforts the designer went through to match the real world math really shine through. Perfect set for children of all ages.

Not the most difficult technic set but this was fun. Would love to see an expansion set to this to add even more of the planets or possibly the Hubble telescope or the James Webb telescope

Was building this set and got to the top layer to assemble second orange ring and that piece is missing. Now we have a lego set sitting here unfinished as we can not complete it.

I love the mechanics of the piece. I do wish the arm that holds the earth and moon was a little more stable or the base a bit larger to support the weight. I had fun putting it together and my son loves the look of it

I got this set just before the April 2024 solar eclipse. I was delighted when it arrived before we left home for a music festival and then our eclipse chase here in Missouri. It sat on a table outside our hotel room in Boonville as it gradually seemed to assemble itself through the weekend. I did not consider myself an Expert at Lego until seeing the few pieces our actual Senior Mechanical Engineer (and our driver) added. When I had to redo his efforts I gave my self-rating a bump up. For a free-builder like myself, this model required some concentration, but was very much worth it. In the travelling a piece or 2 went missing, which at home were easily replaced from my collection. That said, this set seemed to have a fair number of unique pieces. Overall, a great buy. Kudos to the designers. Most impressive!

I really like building this model. It has multiple moving parts at different speeds and was fun to build and see how they did it. If I have one complaint the two halfs of the sun don't fit snugly together and it takes away from the look of the model. Also I removed the hand crank and added a motor/gear assembly and it's really cool to watch it move through years forward and backward without having to crank the handle hundreds of time.

This was a fun build with lots of complexities due to the movements. We build this using "Build together" instructions and everything came together really well. Once complete, the movement is smooth and seems pretty accurate, and this was a great way to learn about how our earth moves around the sun and what that means.
