Unbelievable
" just incredible I cant stop staring at it. I was obsessed with the space shuttle as a kid but never owned one, so this set is an absolute treat and sets me right back to those times. The iconic shape of the wings, the nose is the right shape from every angle you look at it. The stand's angle is perfect, you can display it in space but also as if it was landing with the gear deployed and airbrakes enabled. Something I always watched on TV when it happened. The Hubble telescope is a beautiful set already by itself! What I see a lot of reviews on youtube miss is the way the hubble fits perfectly centered inside the payload bay (with the panels arms taken off) and is held in place by the modified plates on the bottom. its all so well figured out it just blows my mind. The building is a great experience so many surprising techniques I wanted it to last forever, unlike some other sets I cant wait till they are done. So I tried to take my time building it but the smaller portion bags are just perfect and invite you to do another bag every time and before you know it, its done. I really like how Lego does this nowadays. Also the black background instructions make the build more easy for me somehow. If you build left and right parts simultaneously like I did there's nothing repetitive about this build and building the same thing mirrored adds a nice extra challenge. The stickers was another story but they really suit the set. I decided to apply the stickers before I started building so it was out of the way, it took me over 4 hours to apply them, due to the method I use I guess, but I'm 100% happy with the result. if the stickers scare you I'm sure it looks amazing without the silver stickers as well. maybe it would even put some more focus on the Hubble. Thank you for making this set! "

Must Have
" Another masterpiece by Mike Psiaki. Such great building techniques and math it just blows my mind. The end result is just stunning. If it would come in different colors I would have bought two, one for each model but I feel its too much white on my shelve and its fun changing from one model to another and not a hard task at all. Now owning the set my favorite by far is the Turbo model met a Targa top and spoiler. But you miss 4 pieces (the macaroni plates and tiles) to achieve this. A missed chance if you ask me. And if you would add 2 more pieces (the 2 inverted 1x2 brackets) you could build a few more variations. I got the pieces of bricklink, along with some caterham printed disk brakes (which also could have been included if you ask me) and couldn't be happier. The Turbo/Targa mix looks so cool I don't even want a second set anymore. Already can't wait to see what the next vehicle will be! "
