    Might be the first and only time I disagree with Tiago. Love this set! The build, look of the spaceship, play features, printing with no stickers are all perfect imo. Still an awesome review as always.

    This is the BEST SET OF 2022 in my opinion! Wonderful and accessible with its price. No stickers, excellent details and throwbacks, and the build was SO MUCH FUN! Mike Psiaki did an amazing job with this. And even though the Castle set is so much bigger and "grander," this set seems MUCH more polished and inventive. 10/10 set for me!

    This is probably one of the best sets ever made. Everything about it--how fun it is to build, all the cool techniques, the easter eggs, the play features, the piece count, the look, and the PRICE is top notch. I'm struggling to think of something even close to this set.
  • @therandomnarwhal
    This is my favorite set of the year, by far. Everything is excellent, and the pricing is perfection. Nothing tops it from this year for me, frankly!

    My father had this set when he was 8 years old. Discovering boxes of his old lego is what got me to love Lego.

    Such an awesome set to celebrate LEGO’s 90th anniversary! The perfect upgrade from the original 🔥
  • @MisterRubbernose
    This is probably my favorite set of this year. The techniques were awesome, but at the same time, not crazy. I got it as soon as I could, and built it with my dad, who’s favorite theme is classic space, as he grew up with it. I really wish LEGO makes more anniversary remakes!

    Born in 1979, I got the original set when my older brother gave me the Lego he had. And I still have it. I checked in my old lego box and I found almost all the parts (I miss like 4 of them) and built the original galaxy explorer. So I took a few of lunar base base plates from that area and I displayed both the original and the redesign set side by side and it does look very cool.

    For a $100 USD LEGO set its amazing and insanely detailed for what it is. Its a kind of detail you don't expect at that price range from LEGO especially one meant for minifigures.
  • @REELWORKS12923
    Best 100$ I’ve spent in Lego to this day, my personal favorite set of all time
  • @Officer_duh
    I’m not sure why you hated on the technic core structure, it was a necessity for the wings to be strong yet thin as a throwback to the original
  • @86techboy
    I used to own the 6890: Cosmic Cruiser, one key factor I like about these sets. Is that you can reconfigure the set to your liking so it's not just fix to just one way of building it. I wish I would have kept it but unfortunately the set along with others I have threw them away when I was young. The nostalgic factor is there so hopefully can see more retro sets like 6378: Shell Service Station which was another of my favorite set Which I also owned before.

    I’m only 23, but my dad let me play with his old lego as a kid and seeing all the old random space piece I used to play with come back makes me so happy. I don’t know why I’m so attached to that 1x2 tiles with the buttons on it but it brings me so much joy.
  • @briqtastic
    Pure nostalgia. I will definitely add this to my collection someday!
  • @batsamd
    I never had the original 497 or it’s smaller sibling sets, but I love this set. The throwback box design, classic space minifigs, no stickers and especially the Blacktron 1 logo on one of the radar screens. I really hope the Blacktron 1 logo is for shadowing the rumored Blacktron 1 gift with purchase for next year.
  • @Bauus1
    I think It's one of the best, if not the best set of 2022. Looks great, It's a great tribute to the original, It has a few play features that are fun and for sure the price tag is really good for the shape and amount of pieces It has. In a Lego world full of Ultimate collectors ultra expensive sets and meh sets overpriced and full of stickers this set is an oasis in the middle of the desert.
  • @cricketben6742
    THIS is lego at its best. We need more sets like this one
  • @Tripledashhh_
    Honestly as a 25 year old who hasn’t had a Lego set since 2008, as soon as I saw this at the Lego store I purchased it without hesitation. And for a whole month I haven’t been able to stop playing with this model. As in actual play with it lol I have model kits which I hardly get play from so this was definitely a breath of fresh air. What excites me the most are the com back of the OG space Lego men! With their simple happy faces and designs which was enough to keep me happy and satisfied
  • @jacor653
    I preordered this set in June. This set is awesome. Definitely one of the best sets of 2022. It's been a while since I bought a LEGO set this big, and I love every part of it.
