  • Worth much more!!!
Color: Multicolor
This is an amazing Lego and educational product! It actually does the movements of the moon and earth as they are in reality! The moon will rotate around the earth 12 times as the earth goes around the sun and the earth will rotare on itself 30 times in a month, etc. The earth inclination away or toward the sun is also consistent with the seasons! You can appreciate the moon faces also, the sun rotates on itself also as in nature, etc. Galileo and Copernicus would had given all they had for something like this to visualize and illustrate their solar system model! As a lover of science and knowledge cannot say enough about this product. Would highly recommend it to anyone who loves space, science and knowledge, a real treasure! This orrery is much more than a toy, well designed and well made. ... show more

  • Great set to build!
Color: Multicolor
Very detailed and educational. I build this with my son (8). We enjoyed the process. Took several days to complete as we did not want to rush it. This set rotates so it is a good example of how earth circles the sun and how the moon circles the earth, and what actually creates the difference seasons. ... show more

  • Wonderful set but takes patience and time
Color: Multicolor
Very technical in spots, constantly having to play is it gray or black all the time. When it works- it is amazing. Otherwise frustrating. Had to look up step by step plenty of times. Looks great.

  • ★★★★★ A Fantastic and Educational Space Adventure!
Color: Multicolor
If you love space and LEGO, the Technic Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit Building Set is an absolute must-have! Here's why I loved it: Challenging Build: This set offered a delightful challenge with lots of fun gear mechanisms. Putting the intricate workings of the model together was both satisfying and engaging. Educational Experience: I learned a ton while building this! Being able to see how the Earth and Moon orbit the Sun makes the concepts easy to visualize. The details, like printed months and moon phases, are a great touch. Scientific Accuracy: While not perfectly to scale, I was impressed by how accurately the model represents the relative motions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Overall, this set is not only enjoyable to build, but it's a wonderful learning tool too. If you have a curious kid interested in space, or you're an adult space fan yourself, this LEGO set won't disappoint. Highly recommended! ... show more
