As is the crocodile train which I can highly recommend https://www.johnlewis.com/lego-creator-10277-croco...

Lunar Lander or ISS?

Which do people prefer?

[Starfighter]

The lander.

The ISS looks OK but don’t get to close or it will fall apart. I have mine wall mounted but it took a while to get it all to stay together long enough.

The lander is a lot more sold and has some nice little touches. I also think it looks better on display.

The ISS is the only Lego set I’ve been disappointed with. As soon as I finished the boring build it lasted a week before being boxed up.

I think the ISS is a cool model for display but it was a bit of a boring build. I've got the lander here ready to do, am glad to hear it's more interesting!

I've also got the Bonsai on the way, haven't seen anyone else mention it on this thread yet I don't think - so will let you know how I find it.

Mines with DPD so hopefully arrives tomorrow. However I think the Mrs has set her site on that

The lander for me. Looks good when finished.

Yes another vote for the lander. It’s such a great display piece, difficult to believe such a thing could be made with Lego.

Lander is very good. ISS isn’t. It’s like the Caterham - falls too pieces the instant you look at it!!!!

[Dan_1981]

Seems conclusive then!

Needs to go alongside my Saturn V...

and my piece of foil from the actual lander....

I love the lander, its the only lego in the living room as it just looks so good.

ISS is nice but like others there is just something about it that doesn't quite hit the mark.

Picked my Caterham up to dust it on Friday and before I ever touched it with the brush the nose cone fell off!!!!

Built the bonsai tree this morning. Fun little build and I liked the instructions telling you information about the pieces like if it’s the first time in a certain colour. Not sure I’ve seen that before?

Will turn it green in a month or 2.

Thanks for this, it's been in my wish list on the Lego site for a while and it's still out of stock there.

Ordered at 0037 on Friday from JL and it has just arrived now. That's pretty good service.

When was that released? It’s the answer to our buy-care for-die sequence of real bonsai trees. Cheaper too...
