LEGO and NASA create a super cool mini replica of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander 1

In cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), LEGO has developed a miniature version of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander in honor of the 50th anniversary of man’s first moon landing.

Called LEGO Creator Expert NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander, the 1087-piece building set features a pint-sized model of Apollo 11’s Eagle lunar module, including a depiction of the lunar surface, complete with a crater, footprints, and a U.S. flag.

The playset is divided into two separate stages: the ascent stage and the descent stage. The ascent stage features a detailed interior with room for 2 astronaut minifigures, which are included in the set. The descent stage, on the other hand, is made more realistic with gold-colored landing pads and panels, an opening camera, laser hatches, and a ladder.

Measuring over 7 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 7 inches deep, this collectible model makes a great centerpiece for home or office and gives a challenging and rewarding building experience full of nostalgia.
