This building set is a remarkable and detailed tribute to the historical event of man's first moon landing, marking the 50th anniversary of this momentous achievement in cooperation with NASA.
This collectable model beautifully replicates Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module, complete with a depiction of the lunar surface, including a crater, footprints, and a U.S. flag.
The set consists of the Eagle lunar lander, which has two separate stages: the descent stage and the ascent stage. The descent stage is equipped with gold-coloured landing pads and panels, opening camera and laser hatches, and a ladder, providing a high level of authenticity. The ascent stage, on the other hand, features a detailed interior with enough space to accommodate two astronaut minifigures.
To add further realism, the set includes two astronaut minifigures adorned with NASA decorations and wearing golden helmets, commemorating the historic Apollo 11 mission.
As you build this advanced LEGO set, you'll create additional accessories like a brick-built video camera and a laser reflector, further enhancing the experience.
Once completed, the finished model stands over 7 inches (20 cm) in height, 8 inches (22 cm) in width, and 7 inches (20 cm) in depth. It becomes a fantastic centrepiece for display in your home or office, evoking nostalgia and admiration for one of the most iconic moments in human history.
The LEGO Apollo 11 Lunar Lander set is an educational and inspiring tribute to space exploration and the historic moon landing mission.
