The Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit 42179 set stands at 9 inches high, stretches 12.5 inches long, and is 7 inches wide. With 526 pieces, it's designed for ages 10 and up. This set is a relatively straightforward build, typically taking just a few hours to complete. But the fun doesn't end with the assembly.

What makes this set truly stand out is its interactivity. Once built, you can turn the handle to initiate four distinct movements: (1) the Earth rotates on its axis, (2) the sun rotates on its axis, (3) the moon orbits the Earth, and (4) the Earth orbits the sun. It's not only visually captivating but also serves as a great educational tool. Kids can learn about the mechanics of a crankshaft while also gaining insights into how the moon and sun's positions relative to Earth influence months, seasons, and moon phases. At this price, it's a steal compared to many other LEGO sets that lose their appeal once the building is done.
