An underwhelming addition to LEGO's space line-up
" I've been absolutely floored by the space-based options that LEGO has released over the past few years: the Saturn V, the Apollo 11 LEM, and even the great (if much smaller) Women of NASA set. I was hoping this ISS build would match the quality of these previous sets, but it unfortunately fell flat.
There was something about this build that I just found very unsatisfying. There were no "wow" moments in the build like in the Saturn V or LEM, which resulted in something of a lackluster building experience. There are no stickers, which is nice—all designs are printed on the bricks themselves—but that's about the best praise I can offer.
Now that I've finished the build, it all strikes me as very flimsy. The price was quite a bit lower than I expected, but I wouldn't buy it again if I had the option.
With all of this said, I don't think the design itself is the problem. Rather, I think the ISS itself isn't conducive to a very satisfying build; it's ultimately just one long tube with long solar panels sticking out. Perhaps the LEGO Ideas vote was right to initially decline turning this build into reality.
