It's designed for builders aged 10 and up and offers a straightforward yet engaging build that can be completed in a few hours. But the fun doesn't end there.

What makes this set truly special is its interactive functionality. Once assembled, a simple turn of the handle activates four types of movement: (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 mesmerizing to watch but also serves as an excellent educational tool. Kids can learn about crankshaft mechanics and how the positions of the moon and sun relative to Earth affect months, seasons, and moon phases. This set offers great value compared to many other LEGO kits that lose their appeal once built.
