<span itemprop="name">Moon Phase Stickers are wrong…ahhhh!!!!</span>
<span itemprop="description">The build is great. I personally would have liked more arrows on the direction model when multiple pieces are being added during a single step but that’s not a huge issue. My biggest frustration with this set is with the moon phase stickers provided. The set is only correct for those who live in the southern hemisphere. As an educator I was excited to have this as decor in my classroom but since I live in the northern hemisphere I can’t. Because of the inaccuracy of the model I don’t feel like it was worth the money I paid for it. I hope in the future there are stickers for both hemispheres.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Educational and fun</span>
<span itemprop="description">This is one of the best Technic models that I have built. I love the complexity and the reality of the, hummm, planetary drive train. The box says 10+ but I think it would be very challenging for a 10-year old without assistance, especially in the later steps with the sun, earth and moon need to be lined up. The action is not exactly accurate but does illustrate the position of the three bodies in orbit. I have made one hack to it by replacing the yellow orb with a 3" LED light. Next step is to motorize the drive train with a heavily reduced gearing to simluate the days and moon phases.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Another great Lego set!</span>
<span itemprop="description">I've always been fascinated by astrolabes and planetaria so when Lego released this kit, I *KNEW* I needed to build it!
The build itself wasn't overly challenging but was still technical enough to keep my attention.
OK Lego - now you need to up-the-game and expand this into our entire 8/9 planet solar system!</span>
