LEGO 10341 - Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System

Overall the set is an excellent. There were only a few minor flaws with it in my opinion.First, is the use of stickers. This is especially annoying as some of the pieces come with the same pattern pre-printed on them. I can generally apply the stickers so they look right, but next to the pre-printed pieces, it is pretty obvious they were done by hand.Second, while I do appreciate the launch platform being included, it definitely felt like the focus of the build and not the actual SLS itself. I was expecting a build similar to that of the Saturn-V or Apollo lander. Overall it looks good together, but I would love to have something on the scale of the Saturn-V.Finally, like many build there are a lot of repeated steps. I feel like the instructions could have ... MoreOverall the set is an excellent. There were only a few minor flaws with it in my opinion.First, is the use of stickers.

I heard all the gripe that's floating around about this set. I missed out on the Saturn 5 and the lem, but I loved Discovery, so I knew I had to get this one. First gripe: repetitive build: that's the kind of set this is, I advise not trying to do it all in one go, take a break every few bags and you'll be fine. Second gripe: the rocket dosen't begin until bag 22, yes that's true, but this set is the whole launch system, not just the rocket, and thats great. Third gripe: STICKERS, yes there are stickers, probably because Lego didn't want to print some parts. I'll say this, these stickers are high quality, I don't believe they'll discolor, they're easy to work with too, you can remove and reapply. I do recommend some precision tools, like precision tweezers to apply ... MoreI heard all the gripe that's floating around about this set.

I do recommend some precision tools, like precision tweezers to apply and nudge the stickers into place, also have plenty of lighting and good visibility and relax to have a steady hand. The end result is so good, I decided to overlook all the gripes and give this one 5 stars, it is an incredible and functional display piece, it's huge too, so make sure you have the room. Not everyone will love building this set, but everyone can agree it looks awesome.

I’m someone who is very used to build Lego sets for many years, regardless of their complexity level, so at 99% of the time I know what I’m getting from Lego. This Artemis set was not the case and I’m disappointed.The building experience is terrible. Most of the time you will be building the platform and the tower (about 2/3 or more of the set). Those are well engineered components, the repetitive building of the tower didn’t bother me at all, but I was surprised that the rocket only starts on the last two bags.Their built was annoying with a mix of elements with prints and others with stickers. Again, as someone that’s used to built huge sets with stickers, those are not something I’m not familiar, but the ones in this set were a huge disappointment.

Again, as someone that’s used to built huge sets with stickers, those are not something I’m not familiar, but the ones in this set were a huge disappointment. The NASA word should be printed, the nameplate should be printed. The round surfaces and poor instruction about sticker location made me feel with the urgency of finish the set as soon as possible and never touch it anymore.The design of the rockets is poor and they are kind of fragile. Not something that I would recommend to someone that expects to play with the set.Also it’s unnecessary big and makes display a problem if you don’t have room for it. I’m actually surprised it currently has good reviews on the website as my reviews tends to match the overall rating. My advice is: you can find much better Lego sets with much greater building experience for this price or less. This Artemis set was a big deception for me!!
