fan desire, was such a set for me. I pined after it for years, but when it finally came time to own and build it, I was underwhelmed. Conversely, there have been other sets like the recent 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V, that did not really impress me until I held its sizeable bulk in my hands.

The ship itself is of course smaller than minifigure scale, but is not in micro scale, making it look like a worthwhile build in and of itself.

When I was 3 years old my dad bought home 6659 TV Camera Crew as a gift — he had no idea what he had just unleashed. Three decades and no dark age later, I am still going strong. My love of LEGO led me to a career in Civil Engineering and I am now raising three budding LEGO lovers with my lovely wife who is, bless her, a huge supporter of my brick addiction. When not writing for Brick Fanatics or fulfilling my duties as the U.S. Editor of Blocks Magazine I enjoy collecting, MOCing, exhibiting, as well as running, climbing and home improvement.
