LEGO Technic Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit 42179
New Price Drop!
$74.99 $59.99 at Amazon
This 526-piece set (suitable for ages 10+) measures 9" high, 12.5" long, and 7" wide. The build is relatively straightforward, taking a few hours at most. But the fun doesn't stop there!
The interactive design is what truly sets this apart. Turn the handle to witness four dynamic movements: Earth's rotation on its axis, the sun's rotation, the moon orbiting Earth, and Earth orbiting the sun.
Beyond the cool visual spectacle, it's a valuable learning tool. Kids can explore the mechanics of a crankshaft and understand the relationship between the sun, moon, and Earth, learning about seasons and moon phases. It's a far more engaging experience than many single-build LEGO sets.
