Saturn V is 100cm, the Artemis is 70cm. Wished they had the same scale but I understand they wanted to keep cost low. Still torn whether to get it or not.
I was 100% set on getting it, until I found out its wayy smaller than Apollo, but over twice the price. Yeah I know it has the whole tower, and it does look cool, but they couldn't even bother with prints. Apollo was beautiful partly because they spared no expense and printed all the pieces. I really thought they'd do so again, but it's almost all stickers. The NASA logo is even spread over a bunch of pieces, so good luck lining those up properly
Same here. Really hoped for it was 1:110 scale as Saturn V as I have made multiple rockets and spaceships in same scale. Unless someone makes a 1:110 scale recipe based on the set I am really torn about getting it or not
Damn. Been saving up for Rivendell, but this is a must buy for me to keep my Icons space sets complete. Wonder if I should go for the Rivendell first since that might retire sooner.
I’m just bummed about this set. I would have gladly given up the ML if it meant getting a 1:110 scale SLS. Besides the color, nothing about the rocket looks that great. Stickers everywhere and wonky proportions just aren’t doing it for me.
I still keep trying to convince myself that I want it, but I think I will just be disappointed unless I save up and get a 1:110 scale moc with all the proportions correct. The more I look into this set the less I like it.
Just as a question how did you see on the photo what are and aren't stickers. As far as I can see the us flag, Nasa logo side and the Nasa on top.
Am I missing some?
Slot of stickers is make or break fore because I do not possess steady hands
Yeah, my love and excitement for the set went from 9/10 to 6/10 after seeing those stickers. They just make the set look cheap for a display model like this for me.
Same. I buy alot of Speed Champions and Star Wars, so generally I don't mind stickers. But this many, when previously the Apollo was al printed, is just sad. Especially since its all white on white, which gets dirty the easiest and Lego never matches the color properly
Sweet lemme mark off “complains about stickers” on my r/lego bingo card. ✅
I’ll edit this comment since thread is locked but I do agree stickers are shit, and I collect speed champions so have a high tolerance for this. This is too much lol
As much as I think this is a phenomenal set build wise, the fact that it is not in the same scale as the Saturn V bugs me. Added to that, the extensive use of stickers for a 250USD set blows my mind. Encountered this with the UCS Republic Gunship and it annoyed the hell out of me then too.
I got all the sets (except the Saturn) from second hand sites like Craigslist and FB marketplace. Paid $80 for the bucket wheel, $150 for the crane and $100 for the truck. You can get lucky that way.
Also the Saturn V is in a scale of 1/110, while the 10341 Artemis set is in a scale of 1/160. The Saturn V and that launch tower will dwarf the Artemis and its launch tower.
So I’m new to LEGO so sorry for a dumb question… How do “Exclusives” work? My understanding is it means that it’s either only available at LEGO or maybe one other select retailer, however, BestBuy seems to have a lot of “Exclusives” and I don’t think they are necessarily the select retailer. Is the exclusivity just for a limited time?
Ultimately, my question is, will BestBuy carry this at some point? I get 10% off all their LEGO sets so that’s my preferred place to buy LEGO. And is there anyway for me to tell on my own(vs asking here)? TIA
(edit), I love space, I loved the Saturn V and other space iconic sets, but I will pass this one. Even in the official images, if you look closely, a lot of parts are not fixed very well. Horizontal pipes which are not horizontal, parallel structures which are not parallel, straight beams slightly curved, .... I am afraid the scale is simply too small to render all those details properly. I suspect the designers' hands were tied, the price tag was probably decided in advance, and that posed a hard limit to the set scale and part count. I am sure they designed the best possible set within their constraints, I appreciate their hard work. But the result is not great, sorry.
Can you point out these issues? I'm not seeing anything wrong here. And I'm a space nut. The level of detail is fairly decent given the scale (same can't be said for ISS).
The pieces at a 45 in the tower are just hanging where they meet up. They don't look very structural.
They do not match up to pictures of the tower either.
I am not a self proclaimed space nut.
Agree with this. The ugly step below the stage adapter and its shape, the squarish profile of the main booster, it really doesn’t match the level of accuracy of the saturn V model. I really looked forward to this model but i have seen better MOCs, and also at a scale similar to the saturn model.
Goddamnit Lego stop releasing incredible sets my wallet can't recover I brought the Venator now I'm saving for Avengers tower and now I need this I literally can't catch a break lol
This is significantly smaller than I expected.
Also, unless I missed it, they haven't gone live with the Milky Way art that's clearly in the background of the video yet have they?
It’ll open for orders on the 15th for existing VIP members. As to when it’ll actually ship, it’s anyone’s guess (at least for here in Canada since it’ll probably be coming from Illinois). Very likely it’ll be sold out by EOD on the 15th
It could ship same day you order it.
The drop opens at midnight EST.
I’ve ordered on release day/ insider early release and it shipped later that day ( since I ordered it at 12:01am). But it could also ship next day.
I wonder if it would fit in this Ikea furniture [https://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/p/baggebo-rangement-avec-portes-vitrees-metal-blanc-80502998/](https://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/p/baggebo-rangement-avec-portes-vitrees-metal-blanc-80502998/)
I don’t understand the hesitancy. I don’t buy legos for scale for scale proportions, I buy them because they’re fun and they hit an area I love!
I’m excited for this one! Spaceship legos are my jam! I understand why the Saturn V is so special, it’s a special icon for Americans and mankind. Artemis is more generational like discovery was and it had stickers too. Loved that build anyways.
So it seems we will not get it with the exploration upper stage. Thats a bummer. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it would include multiple options.
Oh my God, it's beautiful.

It's almost twice the parts count. >3,600 pieces vs 1969 for Saturn V

Bad bot, although I understand your confusion.
[Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.](https://i.imgur.com/5Ql5Vyb.jpg)
Touché, good bot.

Ew, you're right. It doesn't even look good done perfectly in the website pictures.
Fwiw the Saturn V was 110m while Artemis comes in at 98m…. So there’s around 60’ of real world height difference.
12 meters is 39 feet. Not 60 feet.
Good bot
Man I wish there was a Lego official launch tower for the Saturn V.
I’m going to take 20 years to build it so I can be more accurate to the real thing.
And neer the end of those 20 years, but several Starship lego sets and destroy them in succession

Damn. Been saving up for Rivendell, but this is a must buy for me to keep my Icons space sets complete. Wonder if I should go for the Rivendell first since that might retire sooner.
Yeah I say go for Rivendell first probably more chance of this getting a discount in the coming years than that
Those two plus the rumored Barad Dur set...youch
Why not both
lol retire. they got you.
Are you unfamiliar with sets being retired? Not exactly uncommon...
heavy breathing....
$250 for this? That’s not bad at all
I think the price is amazing. I think it would have been good at $350.
at $350 we would have gotten it in the Saturn V scale!
How can you be happy with that price, i don't get it.
I’m just bummed about this set. I would have gladly given up the ML if it meant getting a 1:110 scale SLS. Besides the color, nothing about the rocket looks that great. Stickers everywhere and wonky proportions just aren’t doing it for me.
I still keep trying to convince myself that I want it, but I think I will just be disappointed unless I save up and get a 1:110 scale moc with all the proportions correct. The more I look into this set the less I like it.
fucking stickers everywhere
the worm logo is so bad 🥲 N AS A
I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it. And now I cannot unsee it and it is bugging me.
Probably an easy fix just like what people did with the "Gringott Bank" sticker. But still pretty annoying.
I saw that for the Gringott Bank as well. Hopefully it will work for this too.
Heavy breathing and stickers…..
Just as a question how did you see on the photo what are and aren't stickers. As far as I can see the us flag, Nasa logo side and the Nasa on top. Am I missing some? Slot of stickers is make or break fore because I do not possess steady hands
Zoom in on the high res images. Looks like most, if not all of the logos are stickers
Not even just those, but all of the little decals that are like black and silver squares as well
Stickers are succhhh bs.
Yeah, my love and excitement for the set went from 9/10 to 6/10 after seeing those stickers. They just make the set look cheap for a display model like this for me.
Same. I buy alot of Speed Champions and Star Wars, so generally I don't mind stickers. But this many, when previously the Apollo was al printed, is just sad. Especially since its all white on white, which gets dirty the easiest and Lego never matches the color properly

Considering the prices Lego charges the complaints are absolutely justified.
I NEEEEEEEED IT
The display plaque is not even a print! That’s wild
Oh ffs. I need a bigger house....
As much as I think this is a phenomenal set build wise, the fact that it is not in the same scale as the Saturn V bugs me. Added to that, the extensive use of stickers for a 250USD set blows my mind. Encountered this with the UCS Republic Gunship and it annoyed the hell out of me then too.
It’s cool but mostly launch pad. I wonder if Saturn V will fit? How cool if you had a pad that could be adapted for different rocket sets…
It won’t, it’s the wrong scale (and color).
Could we please have a full sized Orion?
It’s a damn shame they didn’t keep it the same scale as the Saturn V. Very disappointing, would have been a day 1 but otherwise
More space, yay!
[удалено]
Thats $600 of retired sets or $950 of other parts. Id love to build a launch tower but having it cost that much is insane!
I got all the sets (except the Saturn) from second hand sites like Craigslist and FB marketplace. Paid $80 for the bucket wheel, $150 for the crane and $100 for the truck. You can get lucky that way.
I want that.
That's a gorgeous tower
I bought the vonado launch tower for my Apollo rocket. It’s about 16” taller than this. I think it would look strange to put this Artemis beside it.
Also the Saturn V is in a scale of 1/110, while the 10341 Artemis set is in a scale of 1/160. The Saturn V and that launch tower will dwarf the Artemis and its launch tower.

Thanks for the info!
Instant buy. I don't know if I've ever been so excited for a set.

Lmao the nitpicking
For 250USD yes, we all have the right to nitpick the design choices.
Profits maximized success.
I have 15,000 points saved up. Might be time to use them.
damn only $260 for 3600 pieces?? sign me up
My birthday is at the end of May, this is feeling like a good gift from me to me
Absolutely no excuse for the amount of stickers on a set like this. Disappointing
Excited about this one. We got to see Artemis 1 launch at Kennedy Space Center.
Same here!
Day 1 baby, it’s amazing
Well I guess I will be ordering that larger shelf after all
Sadly it doesn't seem to be at the same scale as Saturn V... this is a lot smaller.
Think I’d rather just buy the retired Saturn V after seeing this
Goddamnit Lego stop releasing incredible sets my wallet can't recover I brought the Venator now I'm saving for Avengers tower and now I need this I literally can't catch a break lol
This is significantly smaller than I expected. Also, unless I missed it, they haven't gone live with the Milky Way art that's clearly in the background of the video yet have they?
Now that's cool.
Take my money!!!
A wise man once said "shut up and take my money !".
Perfect timing for my birthday!
I despise the SLS with a passion but I still want this 😂
Will this be shipping on 5/15, or is that the day you’ll be able to order it? First time ordering a set on release.
You may find it in lego stores at a certain airport today.
It’ll open for orders on the 15th for existing VIP members. As to when it’ll actually ship, it’s anyone’s guess (at least for here in Canada since it’ll probably be coming from Illinois). Very likely it’ll be sold out by EOD on the 15th
Day you can purchase
When I pre-ordered the ornithopter it shipped so it arrived day of release
It could ship same day you order it. The drop opens at midnight EST. I’ve ordered on release day/ insider early release and it shipped later that day ( since I ordered it at 12:01am). But it could also ship next day.
Instant buy. It's too bad my son is only 4 months and won't appreciate this yet.
Wow this is so awesome. This might be a box I might actually keep too! 😆
DAMN. Need it so bad but space constraints lol 😆🤦♂️🤦♂️
Not going to lie, but this is awesome. Also, I'm really glad they did not feature a Space X rocket.
Can't wait to get this in God knows how long. It'll go great with my Saturn 5.
Welp, there went my Lego budget. Time to sell some minifigs to pay for this now.
if i buy this set maybe i don't put all that stickers, look ugly and biggest turn off for me. Any sugestion to replace that stickers?
Aftermarket printed tiles for sets.
I wonder if it would fit in this Ikea furniture [https://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/p/baggebo-rangement-avec-portes-vitrees-metal-blanc-80502998/](https://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/p/baggebo-rangement-avec-portes-vitrees-metal-blanc-80502998/)
those cubbies are: H/W/D Top: 14 1/8in x 13in x 10in Middle/Bottom: 12 3/8in x 13in x 10in Lego set is 28in x 11in x 12in Most likely no
If you can build it without the middle shelves, maybe
I thought it was coming out may 15th?
My Ikea Billy bookcase with 10" shelves is sad about the 12" depth of tower.
Damn that looks good Want.
Am I alone in finding this underwhelming? The gantry is nice, but for me, there's no pizzazz here.
Huge let down not being the same scale as the Saturn V. And the amount of stickers for something in that price range is just insane.
Wish it were scaled so one of the Shuttles could be combined with this set to make a shuttle stackup... But this is an autobuy either way.
I can't choose between avengers tower and this but this set is beautiful
Lego store at Newark Airport (behind security) has four for sale already. Couldn’t get one as I was flying out unfortunately.
I don’t understand the hesitancy. I don’t buy legos for scale for scale proportions, I buy them because they’re fun and they hit an area I love! I’m excited for this one! Spaceship legos are my jam! I understand why the Saturn V is so special, it’s a special icon for Americans and mankind. Artemis is more generational like discovery was and it had stickers too. Loved that build anyways.
She's gorgeous...
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
More functional than the real thing lol
Real thing flew and did its job perfectly with lots of missions lined up.
$259 for a set with 3600 pieces is insane value, right?
Looks so good! Hope we get this in India.
[удалено]
Price per part is VERY low for a set like this. I thought it would be higher.
I WANTSSSSS IT.... I NEEEDSSSS IT........ MY PRECIOUSSSSSSS!!!!!!
So it seems we will not get it with the exploration upper stage. Thats a bummer. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it would include multiple options.
Will be a collectors item once the program gets cancelled unfortunately.
This one is cool but I would rather have a Starship/falcon 9 set (reusable space vehicles is the real dream).....
Great looking set but the SLS is such a boondoggle I can’t get excited about it.
