Space Telescope Building Sets 70009

I look at the other reviews on this Lego set confused. I have not done anything wrong when building this set, but the middle, which connects everything together, is so fragile. I have built it back up 4 times now and on every attempt, it breaks right when I'm putting it all together. This time it all fell apart. I was getting so close to finishing and it just falls apart. Not to mention how badly it connects the two blocks of bricks together, which it doesn't actually do. All it does is stick them together for a split second, but when I actually try and put it on the base, it falls off again. This time I pushed a little harder to make it connect fully and it collapsed. The entire thing collapsed.

I have spent almost a year on this now, on and off, granted, because I get so frustrated each time it breaks. I have now given up on this build. It's almost like they make the structure work on a computer with no actual physics, but when you do it in real life, the structure is so fragile.

I am so annoyed, if you can't tell already.

We have lots of bricks at home, but this one is the most unique. The telescope just feels special compared to other sets.

One thing I always worry about is missing bricks, but this set came complete. Every piece clicked in just right and the end result looks amazing.

The instructions were clear and the pieces fit together perfectly. Took me about 3 hours to complete but I enjoyed every minute of it.

If you're into space or telescopes, this set is a must-have. It’s not just a toy—it’s a piece you can proudly display. My son and I built it together and it sparked great conversations about astronomy.
