The LEGO Galaxy Explorer

The LEGO Galaxy Explorer is a reimagined version of a 1970s classic, making this set a worthy piece at any collector's show window. This scaled-up Classic 497 LEGO Galaxy set was introduced as part of LEGO's "90 years of play."

The Classic 497 LEGO Galaxy Explorer model (10497) in this anniversary collectible edition keeps all the fun of the 1979 set but on a larger scale. Take your time creating the features of this buildable model, such as the original craft's blended delta wing configuration.

The spaceship has opening rear doors, retractable ramps to deploy the rovers, and three retractable landing legs. The rover compartment, which has additional tools and an extendable ramp, is located at the back of the ship.

All 4 astronauts have seats in the spacecraft's interior, which is visible when the cockpit opens. There are also living quarters with two beds, computers, and storage compartments.

Play with a high-quality adult LEGO buildable model set and take yourself on a journey through time. It does a fantastic immersive project for you or a great gift idea for space enthusiasts who love models of spacecraft.

It is important to note that the kit is only suitable for ages 18 and up. The Galaxy Explorer kit is made of 1254 pieces, some very small and could cause a choking hazard. This 1,254-piece set includes four astronauts and their robot helper, plus a surface rover and accessories.

Many fans of Classic Space and the first Galaxy Explorer are sure to purchase this new set out of nostalgia pieces, and if this is their first modern Lego set, they may be taken aback by some of the building techniques and the kit's modern aesthetic.
