Lots of people were upset when the previous Saturn V was discontinued, so it's great to see it back – not least because it's still the same price as before. The whole set is utterly spectacular, and it includes three brand new astronaut mini figures as well as three stands to show off the rocket horizontally. It's clear that this LEGO set was made with love: there are little details such as the use of 1,969 pieces – the moon landing was of course in 1969 – and you can replicate the splash landing as well as the takeoff.
The Apollo spacecraft features the lunar lander and the lunar orbiter. It's centred around an accurate metre-high scale model (approximately 1:110) of the Apollo Saturn V rocket and there's a removable S-IC first rocket stage, a removable S-II rocket stage, and the Apollo spacecraft and rescue rocket. The LEGO Nasa Apollo Saturn V has had a bit of a chequered history: LEGO retired it, prices went into orbit and LEGO brought it back again with a new set number but an otherwise unchanged model.
