When SLS actually starts flying people to the Moon, I'll buy your set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It ain't Saturn But it has the launch tower. But yeah I'm not gonna buy something that has done a single flight. Where my Ariane 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbalsaurus Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 You can build a LEGO Starship, but the moment it’s done it explodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerb24 Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Anyone know if the SLS is at the same scale as the Saturn V? I'm going to get it either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn V is about 1:110, and SLS is 1:160 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder if it actually happened at all. The three things shown in that picture, Legos, what looks like a mobile suit type plastic model, and an action figure, are questionable as toys. Lego could pass as an artistic form of plastic model (indeed when I restarted buying Lego Star Wars, initially I justified it due to a “lack of plastic models about Star Wars” because I was still felt I needed to be publicly beholden to the popular complex that Legos are for kids), while plastic models are made by people of all ages and the action figures adults often buy are so detailed and expensive it’s questionable if they are toys or just premade models. In addition, even if the product is also played with by children, it doesn’t mean adults can’t do it too. No one talks about the NBA as “adults playing a schoolyard pastime and people cheering them like little kids at an afterschool match.” I’d also be interested if there is any parallel between the rise of toy purchases from adults and the “de-nerdification”/main-streamization of comic book stories. I first heard of that particular phenomena in regards to the popularity of the MCU but maybe it goes as far back as the Nolan Batman trilogy.

This isn't my picture, but we had two of these tables when I was a kid. We called it a "dump table"... and it turns out that's the actual name for it.

It's probably because they have way cooler stuff out now than when I was a kid. When I was younger, the Lego packs didn't even have wheels, wings, or mini-figs! Now, there are all kinds of shapes, sizes, and sorts of Lego bricks out there. Even Star Wars-themed Lego sets! I cannot even imagine what my room would have looked like had they had those when I was 7 or 8 years old!

I can get down to pick them up, but it's a little difficult. It's the dining room table for me most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Soon Ill be adding to my NASA Lego collection with the Artemis set. I have the Saturn V, 2 Apollo 11 Lunar Module sets, The ISS, and Shuttle Discovery. Im looking forward to adding it to my collection. I may catalogue the parts for the pad itself and scale up to build a pad for the Saturn V. 221308152024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimera Industries Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 As a few of you know I have moved recently (therefore my Legos are in storage) but I am working on collecting all of the space sets. I'm saving up for the lunar rover, Discovery shuttle, and SLS. If I work through all of those I'm keeping my eye on the Concord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbalsaurus Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I used the older LEGO City Mars Sets, specifically the shuttle and rocket, and made my own shuttle-booster amalgamation. Looking at it, I don’t think it would actually fly all too well, but it’s still kinda cool looking nonetheless. I also touched the LEGO VAB I made last year. I added some details to the roof, moved the side hangar to the other side, and fixed up that odd looking rocket. I think it looks a little better now.

For the same launch vehicle (the SLS looking one) I turned the capsule into an adapter for the Utility Shuttle from 2015. It looks kind of like Dyna-Soar. I have the full space shuttle from the 2015 line of space sets as well, and I made extensive modifications to the orbiter to look more accurate. The entire bottom is now black, unlike the patchy grey-black it used to be, and the entire vertical stabilizer has been replaced with a custom design. I also made the entire payload bay interior larger, which involved taking the model apart and putting it back together again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
