I’m biased about this kit. I remember watching the Apollo 11 lunar landing on my grandparent’s console TV when I was 4 years old, and I’ve been a fan of the space program ever since.
I put this kit together over the course of 2 nights, and I understand why so many people love it, but I also understand the criticisms I see. It was a lot of fun to build, but the repetition did get a little tedious.
Pros - Lego went to a lot of trouble to get the details accurate.
The instructions includes a lot of history on the Apollo 11 mission and details about the Lunar Lander.
Cons - I can see why people feel like this model is flimsy. The Lander legs connections have a lot of play to them - there’s a MOD online that claims to address this, but I haven’t tried it yet.
The base is not as rigid as one might like it to be. It holds together, but it could be improved with a little more bracing, at the trade-off of making it a little taller.
The connections between the different pieces of the ascent stage could be a little more robust.
Overall, I strongly recommend this. It makes a great looking display.

One small step for man, one large step for Lego
Growing up in Huntsville, AL in the 60's, I was pretty immersed in the race to the moon. Our school desks would rumble as NASA tested the Saturn boosters. My wife bought this for me for Christmas, my first Lego as an adult. My impressions: - The booklet is great with information about the program and the lunar module. However, for ease, I used the iPad app for the assembly. - The pieces are arranged in numbered bags, some with multiple bags having the same number and there are smaller bags inside the larger bags. While the sections relate to the numbers, I'm not sure of logic of the other bags as I seemed to pull from various bags while assembling one part. - The detail is amazing but that means lots of small parts which creates a certain anxiety when searching as, rumor has it, Lego misses parts but I actually had extra parts. - Certain parts attach with single points so they can be knocked off, the accent stage connection to the descent stage is pretty flimsy. The legs are pliable but that seems accurate to the original. Overall, I very happy with the model but I don't have any reference to other Lego models. I think this would be a great model for a teen who is interested in learning more about the moon landing.

Fun and great build was missing a few pieces tho which worked out. Saw some reviews that Lego was notorious for missing pieces, but mine didn’t have to many missing to affect the Lunar Landing. Overall solid design and looks, took about a day and a half to complete. Worth the money would make a great gift for any child or adult who loves Lego’s.
