Be ready for the small parts. The unique use of different shapes and colors to create the Milky Way is fun and interesting. Only small drawback is the 3D building app does not currently work for this set. Fails to load. Works for other available sets. I also tried a different device/OS and still froze the builder app. So back to the paper instructions. Overall 4.8 out of 5. (-.2 for the failed 3D builder. )

I love this build. It was very creative in the use of piece types (hairbrushes, wisks, cherries and even a frog). Like other reviewers, I was missing a couple pieces. I was able to scavange from loose pieces so that I didn't have to delay the build. My only complaint (besides the sore fingertips) was that there were no instruction books included so I had to download the pdfs and build this in front of my computer.

This set looks fantastic. After the frame you get started on the individual plates and realize that everything is single to double studded pieces lol. Obviously, this is what gives the Milky Way its texture, depth, and color range but definitely one where you need to take a break. The repurposing of random pieces is genius and makes the set fun to put together. After finishing you realize exactly what you’ve built and how great it looks. I would recommend

I own all of the Lego art sets, but this is by far my favorite. It is more beautiful than the pictures can capture. It's incredible. I love that it is divided into panels so you can take a break when your fingers need a break. The details and parts that went into this actually had me chuckling a few times during the build. Incredible use of parts for the 3-D effect and I love the colors. I've loved many of my Lego builds but this has moved to the top of the list. Kudos to the designers. It's genius.

This was one of our favorite sets to build. It wasn’t overly difficult, so it made for a more relaxing experience. The colors are amazing, and all of the little elements used to make up the details really adds character and depth. You could honestly get lost staring into this. Our plan is to use this as a backdrop for our other space themed sets (Space Shuttle Discovery and Artemis Space Launch). We were very excited to finally get this set, and I don’t think anyone building this will be disappointed. It’s also broken up into multiple books, so several people can help build this beautiful art piece at the same time. Another win for Lego Art and Lego Space!

This set is out of this world! This is the first time I’ve ever built a Lego piece of art and it didn’t disappoint. The build while a little challenging because of all the small pieces was enjoyable. To be fully transparent my set was missing a few pieces. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone and it displays very nicely!

We absolutely ADORE this set! It is so much fun to build and it looks great hung up on the wall! I love that each panel has its own booklet so you can build with other people and then just piece it together at the end to get a full picture! Only note I have is the hangers on the back of the frame to hang the set on the wall, is embedded into the frame so it’s hard to find the nail and get it on the hook when hanging it up.

As others have noted, once you start building this set, you can’t seem to stop. I was expecting a build experience similar to the World Map — this is something entirely different. The variety of pieces and the innovative part utilization is fun. Also, the set is much bigger than expected (pics don’t reflect this) and it looks uber cool when complete. But ultimately, it’s the build experience here, and I have to say - and I say this as the builder of hundreds of sets - this is one of the most engaging, if not one of the best. Highly recommended.

I had never built a lego set, but I do many hobbies and the beautiful colours of Milky Way caught my attention. After about the 4th panel (of 15) I was bored. All you do is dump out the contents of a numbered bag and follow the instruction pictures on where to put the pieces; I was expecting more of a sense of creativity. I am very pleased with the product but, for me, the building process left me with ennui.

I have never really been a Lego builder but saw this set coming out and loved how fun it looked and that you could hang it up. I was looking for something fun to do/destress and even though there are MANY pieces it wasn't overwhelming. Truly enjoyed putting this together and loved getting to hang it up.
