Highlights
Packed with features, this build marks the amazing accomplishments of Discovery. Open the payload bay to deploy the Hubble Telescope on its mission to explore the cosmos. Adjust the elevons, engage the landing gear on reentry and deploy the robotic arm. The cockpit opens to reveal flight and mid-decks with seats for 5 crew members. The telescope features movable solar panels and an aperture door. The multiple display stands let you display the space shuttle model and telescope individually or together.
Information
Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.
Although you can assume that the quality of the model and design are exceptional (they are) it needs to be said that Legos consistency of quality is also an achievement. I have always been fascinated by space and the exploration of it. This model is added to my NASA/Lego collection and is truly impressive. The Hubble telescope model is impressive in its own right. Anyone who has ever had an interest in science and space exploration will love this model. The landing gear deployment is really well done and all the details on the model are surprise after surprise during the build. The mirror stickers on the bay doors, well, I forgive you for this Lego. Im not sure there is better solution. Its just a great model and fun to build. Buy it.
This was a lot of fun to build. Very impressive kit. Amazing design and details. The box arrived a bit crunched up ( no overpack ) but parts inside were fine. The Saturn V came inside another box and the packaging was perfect. Bad for a collector but ok for me as I was building it anyway. I'll probably buy another one at some point just to build again anyway.
this was over a day of spending time with children building this and reading the facts about the shuttle and telescope
Gift for 12 year old. He loves lego building so hopefully this one will take him longer to build. He۪s enjoying the challenge !!
This was a real treat to build. I loved every step of the way. Great for Teens and Adults. Awesome item to add to my collection.
