Eric,
not sure if this would be your thing, or if you've already seen it, but thought you'd be interested at least.

It is interesting - but it's Lego.

I'm just not into Lego - never really was. At the age I could have become a Lego fan I got into plastic kits instead.

So, I'm up for any new kits of real spacecraft. It's a genre of modelling that is not that well supported by modellers and (as a result) by the industry.
"Real Space" kits just don't sell in volume.

All the same, if someone on here assembles a Lego Saturn V, I'd be happy to see the final result - although I expect that will be identical to every other Lego Saturn V.

It's unlikely Lego will make this available to independents. They'll probs keep it to themselves and make a deal with JL and toys r us or something...

I'll ask though...

No problem, Eric, thought you'd be interested as it has all the various stages of the launch/mission as part of the set.

That's OK. There are lots of Lego aficianados on here and I'm sure they'll be inspired by it.

I have about four Saturn V kits of various sorts to build as it is.

It was just becoming popular when I was about 7 or 8 years old - but I'd already become hooked on polystyrene kits.
