Be sure to not overlook this one, IDEAS sets tend not to hang around too long… It may not be one for play (every time you pick it up you’ll move one of the poseable solar panels dotted all around it), nor one for those suffering from NASA fatigue in what has been a Space-heavy period for the LEGO Group, but as a detailed and accurate LEGO tribute to one of man’s most important scientific ventures of the last two decades, there’s nothing better. At £65 for 864 pieces, it also offers more than decent value for money. It captures the intricate nature of its subject to create an engaging display piece that on every glance reveals something new. Trio of LEGO designers) is passionate about.Ģ1321 International Space Station is a set that for all that it includes and achieves is a perfect addition to any LEGO NASA fan’s growing collection.

This is a set based on a submission that fan designer Christoph Ruge admits he spent more than three years fine-tuning, and it shows.
