Lego City Mars Research Shuttle vs Lego Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship

Relaxed build over 2-3 hours with some background movie watching, then dismantled it and rebuilt it with my niece of 4 and grandfather the next day and we all had a blast! (Thrilled to bits to see my niece thoroughly enjoy her first taste of Lego!) The set design is wonderful, a number of sections I found to be particularly clever in their design and it's a delight to build. The stickers and off-axis parts like the engines and wingtips give it a ton of flair, really adding to the already existing details and the shuttle alone would make for a great display model. The inclusion of the rover and tiny drone are a pleasant bonus. Lego at this time is very much a luxury for the big kid that is me, it's something I can afford but rarely, so I'm picky with which sets I generally go for and I must say absolutely that this set is fantastic value for money

A few centimeters added to the overall length would have been a lot better for the ship silhouette. And third, the siren on the front of the ship is absolutely horrible lol. I will definitely modify it, or just litteraly remove it and make a better one on my own. In summary, I give this set a score of 3

A combination of continuing space shuttle fever after the release of 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery and excitement over Ingenuity's flight led me to track down this older set and I'm glad I did.

This lego set is for my nephew. It’s a great lego set. Fun to build. The only problem was that the box was ripped and in such terrible condition
