![]() ![]() This appears to be of very solid construction and I'm looking forward to pairing it with the Saturn V. There are 120 pieces to this launch platform I sorted the parts and took my time and the build took about 30 to 40 minutes. ![]() Though a scan code is included on a card in the parts bag, as noted on this Amazon page you can download the same build instructions from here. When ordered, the advertised delivery time shows a while to delivery but mine arrived with 60 days still remaining on the estimated delivery date. Fortunately, Vonado has created this add-on the brick quality is comparable to the Lego. But then it couldn't be advertised as "1969" parts as it would be 2,089, LOL. This would've been nice if this type of platform had been included as part of the original Lego Saturn V 21309 build kit. Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2020 Nice Launch Platform for the Lego Saturn V I really wish Lego had simply included better display options in the original set, as they do with most of their IDEAS and CREATOR series. I just wish the bricks were of better quality and that the cost was lower, a point I consider more relevant with the scratches and cheaper feel of the bricks not justifying the higher price. I like the aesthetic of how the model is displayed and found the assembly pretty easy, with no missing pieces. This makes this product more than three times as expensive per brick compared to the the Lego model it is meant to interact with, for bricks that are arguably of lower quality.ĭespite these complaints, I am happy overall with the model. The Lego model this is meant to pair with, #92176, has a MSRP of $119. At $24.98 (plus S&H, but I won't count that) for 122 bricks, you get a rate of ~$0.20 per brick. The final issue I will note is the fairly high cost per brick. Some were scratched on one side so I flipped them to cover it up. I have not noticed this issue before with Lego bricks. I'm not sure if this was done in manufacturing or by the aforementioned sharp edges of the bricks rubbing in the bag. Some of the pieces, mostly the ones with large flat surfaces like the taller sloped pieces or the normal height ones, were scratched. I was able to do it with the Lego one I have, no issue. I wanted to flip a piece around because of the next issue I'll mention, and I was not able to get flat plates apart with the brick separator that was provided. Pieces are difficult to separate, and the included brick separator was almost useless. I gouged myself a little bit on one of the long flat pieces, which was less than ideal. The blocks are overall similar to Lego pieces (same size/shapes), with some slight differences that I noticed: Regarding the bricks themselves, the obvious comparison here is to Lego brand products, so that will be my main point of reference. I wish the original Lego model had included a vertical storage option, and this fulfills that need. The completed model holds my completed Lego Saturn V (#92176) well, though it would fall over if bumped or there was an earthquake. Mine came with an included printed assembly guide (some other reviews mentioned that theirs did not, so maybe I was lucky). ![]()
