LEGO Icons NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 Model Building Set for Adults, Spaceship Collection with Hubble Telescope, Gift idea

Ive always loved Legos, but this set is absolutely beautiful. My son and I loved building it - but the detail and all of the additional items really make this something to put on display. Its of course in his bedroom - but heck Id have it on my desk as well. Lego - you outdid yourself on this one. If you love Legos and love space, then this is the set you need. As Jim Cramer would say Buy, buy, buy, buy... lol. Remember the days of shaking the box and immediately knowing it was Legos - this box is heavy, and man does is shake nice!

El servicio de Amazon fue conforme, llegó en el tiempo planificado y bien embalado. La caja presentaba ciertas marcas por manipulación (no sabría a quien atribuirlo), pero si no eres coleccionista de cajas no te importará. El número de bolsas y manuales llegaron intactos y en la cantidad correctas. La experiencia de armado fue muy buena, hasta que llegué a la bolsa 16 y faltaba una pieza. En este caso la responsabilidad era directa de LEGO, así que me puse en contacto con su servicio al cliente quienes gentilmente me enviaron la pieza faltante sin costo alguno en un tiempo de 15 días (lo enviaron de Alemania a Perú por correo regular, por lo que considero fue un tiempo decente). Como habrán leído en otros comentarios, las piezas de cobertura del telescopio Hubble llegaron también con rayones de fábrica. Según leí en algún foro, parece ser debido a cómo manufacturan dicho tipo de pieza. No obstante -en lo personal- el resultado final hace que este detalle pase a segundo plano. Resumiendo: Pros: -Te divertirás armándolo. -El nivel de detalle es muy bueno. -Si te falta alguna pieza, LEGO te la repone. Contras: -Pegar los stickers plateados supone todo un reto de precisión y paciencia. -Defectos de fábrica en algunas piezas. Sugerencias: -Disfruten la experiencia, documenten el armado (fotos), observen los detalles mientras lo construyen (pues una vez completado, salvo que lo desarmen de nuevo, ya no volverán a ver las piezas internas). -Cuídenlo de la exposición al sol, pues tiene piezas blancas y con el tiempo tienden a ponerse amarillas. Lo recomendaría a otros: sí, sin duda (es una maqueta impresionante).

This was my favorite Lego build, right up there with Apollo Saturn V!

If your looking to purchase this and maybe sell one day when it’s worth more don’t buy from Amazon I purchased and received the Saturn v 2 weeks ago and the box was tore up bad and taped shut with thin scotch tape besides that it was a beautiful piece upon completion highly recommend the Saturn v Now on to the shuttle discovery I received it today and who’d a thunk it the box is in horrible shape I feel if you are going to spend 200 on a collectible item the box should not be destroyed and taped back up I could have purchased this item at Target for the same price but had a brand new box so far all the pieces are there and it’s turning out nicely but beware of shipping damage

The only thing I didnt liked was that for the 1st time since I have been buying from Amazon my package arrived late and there was not a lot of details from the carrier. But, now lets talk about the main plate, the Lego Set. Altough I was a little bit concerned about the free frustration package my product arrived in excelent condition with the original Lego box as well (I was not sure how basic or generic the frustration free option was and I didnt see any detailed information here) but to my surprise and happiness when I opened the box there it was, in all its glory the original box from Lego with the Shuttlle design. Great quality and I must say my package didnt have any missing pieces, in fact there were some small ones extra (look for the sorting process and packaging of Lego sets on YT, very impressive). 17 plastic bags with all the pieces ordered by construction module. (There are 2 bags labeled 2 with all the necesary parts just in case you may think there are several parts missings as I tought in the beginning) Step by step instructions very easy to follow. I spent around 3 and half nights assembling it (working adult here) and it was very fun process, discovering all the details and easter eggs. I would definetly recommend it!

This was a great gift. It took my son several days instead of just a few hours to put together, which was great over a long Christmas break. I was thankful he had something to do. It is a great set, and it is displayed nicely.

As an avid Lego builder, Ive been asking to get this set as a Christmas present for a couple of years, but never got it under the tree. So, this year I decided to get it for myself. When I ordered it, Amazon must have just run out of stock and I was informed it was going to be a five week delay in delivery. I was notified after two and a half weeks that my order shipped, so I was happy about that. My only problem with the delivery was that the shipment was delivered with shipping box open and the product box had been opened as well at some point. My main concern was that pieces would be missing and I would have to return the set. Checking each bag for holes found none and checking the bags against the instructions, I found all were there. Time to get ready to build! This set is listed as an expert set, but it really didnt seem to be an actual build at that level. It may just be due to the number of pieces used in the sets construction and the amount of smaller pieces. I managed to get the set started on my own before my 11 year old son joined in on the build. We took our time, completing one or two bags a night. There were 18 total bags within this set, so we managed to complete the build in a week and a half at a relaxed pace. The set includes the shuttle as well as the Hubble Telescope as well. The landing gear set up was kind of interesting how they incorporated it so all three gears can be deployed at the same time through concealed mechanism as well ss being able to maneuver the wing flaps by a hidden control. Its a great set to add to mine and my sons collection. The build is not really that difficult, but it does take a while to complete with the amount of pieces. I highly recommend this set, especially if you are a builder of the space sets. Enjoy the build!

Just needs astronaut

Lego done a great job in the design of this one, very enjoyable to build.

My father was gifted this from my mother and I after he had surgery. He was so giddy he immediately wanted to put it together, and he did. Over the course of about two weeks, off and on, he built this GIANT set. The ship itself is about two feet long, and packed to the brim with detail. Its such a fascinating LEGO set and he was so happy about the outcome. Also the telescope is adorable! It also has a lot of nice detail. LEGO never disappoints!
