The highly detailed 1,087-piece Apollo 11 set is available for less than $100 for a limited time only.
Lego’s just-released massive Barad-dûr set is pretty cool, I’m not going to lie. Yet, at $460 and with over 5,000 pieces, it’s not for everybody. If you’re looking for a good Father’s Day gift that’ll eat up less money and time, Lego’s NASA Apollo 11 lunar lander set might be a better alternative. Normally $99.99, right now, it’s available on sale as an Amazon Lightning Deal for $79.99 . That’s the set’s best price of the year and only $10 shy of its all-time low.
Developed together with NASA, the set was released in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission — also known as the mission that landed the first humans on the Moon. The 1,087-piece set contains a replica of the lander that, once assembled, you can display on a Lego base designed to resemble the Moon’s surface. Lego’s also thrown in a lot of other details to bring the mission to life, from the US flag to an interior for the ascent stage half of the lander.
