Up for review today is LEGO 11389 Project Hail Mary. If you haven't heard of it, this is based off the Book Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - a fun SciFi book and now a movie. Hence, this set.
Th gist of this this is, you build each character on little pedastools, then you build the base, then you build the ship. When done there is a little knob you spin and the ship spins. Tada!
Overall
I think the set is fun. As a fan of the book, it is a must buy. For those of you not familiar with the book or movie, you may want to pass on this one. I do think the price is a little steep for the end prodcut, but that's standard for these themed sets.
The ship is a bit 'flimsy' and it's hard for children to play with - it's more of a decorative piece. The knob to spin the ship seems to come loose regularly.
Lighting
I do think this is a good candidate for lighting, given the space theme. So check out these lighting kits.
Pros
- Interesting build
- Good to look at on the shelf
Cons
- Fragile
