LEGO sets don't come cheap, particularly in the Icons range, and that makes looking out for the best deals on them particularly important.
If you've been waiting to pull the trigger this Prime Day, however, you may have pulled off a masterstroke as the LEGO Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System Set is reduced as one of Amazon's 'Prime Big Deals'.
Amazon is offering 15% off of the MSRP, bringing the massive build down to £185.99. That's a saving of £34.
For that, you'll get one of the best LEGO space sets around, and a product we awarded a whopping 4.5 stars to in our glowing Lego Artemic Space Launch System review.
We said "Lego has knocked it out of the park and into orbit with this fantastic recreation of the Artemis Space Launch System", which is quite the endorsement, I'm sure you'll agree.
- We're constantly checking the best prices on our Amazon Prime Day space deals page for big discounts on the best telescopes, binoculars, star projectors, cameras, drones, Lego, streaming and more.
The LEGO Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System is a big name for a big build. In the box, you'll find 3,601 pieces that are used to build the Artemis rocket, an impressively detailed launch tower, additional booster rockets, and an Orion module you can put on display.
The boosters can separate, but it's worth stressing that this isn't a build for kids. It's certainly ideal as an educational tool about the technology of spaceflight and exploration, but it's one for display.
Still, what a display it is, standing at 28-inches tall and including a display plaque alongside the aforementioned Orion module.
Key features: 3,601 pieces, 28 inches tall, multiple builds in one (launch tower, rocket, boosters, Orion module).
Product launched: May 2024
Price history: Before today's deal, we've seen this set a mere £3 more expensive, making this just about the lowest price yet.
Price comparison: Amazon: £185.99 | Walmart: $259.99 | Best Buy: $259.99
Reviews consensus: This detail-packed LEGO set features plenty of moving parts and display elements, but it's worth noting some build sections are a tad repetitive, with plenty of stickers required. If you can make peace with that, though, it's one of the best LEGO sets around and offers an eye-catching addition to any collector's shelf.
