Wow! These are the first official images of the LEGO Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V designed by LEGO Ideas members Felix Stiessen (saabfan) and Valérie Roche (whatsuptoday). It is a beautiful looking set with a bunch of different ways to display it. The fact that the LEGO designers were able to fit the set to the 1969 piece count is genius. I love the nod to the Year 1969 when this NASA mission took place. Fitting everything within the rocket was another impressive feat. Check out the pictures,
Details and the official description below.
