LEGO10327 Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter, Model Kit for Adults to Build, Movie-Themed Aviation Gifts for Men, Women, Him, Her, Vehicle Set with 8 Minifigures Inc. Chani & Baron Harkonnen

The media could not be loaded. STAYED UP ALL NIGHT TO CONSTRUCT THE LEGO ORNITHOPTER, I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. FROM START TO FINISH, WITH REGULAR BREAKS, THE TASK WAS COMPLETED IN 12 HOURS. FINGERS AND WRISTS ARE VERY SORE BUT THE FINISHED SHIP WAS WORTH IT.HALFWAY THROUGH, DURING THE LINKAGE PROCESS, I TESTED THE MOVEMENT, BUT IT DIDN'T MOVE AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT IT SHOULD LEAVING ME TO WONDER IF I HAD CONNECTED IT INCORRECTLY. I WAS MATICULOUS FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS SO PUTTING MY WONDERING TO THE BACK OF MY MIND, I CONTINUED ON. AT THE END, MY WONDERING HAD BEEN ALL FOR NOTHING AND THE SHIP FUNCTIONED AS IT SHOULD, FROM MANOUVERING THE LANDING GEAR, MAKING THE WINGS FLY AND FOLDING THEM FOR A DIP DIVE OR STORAGE. NOT ONE PART WAS MISSING OR LEFT OVER!THE DISPLAY LOOKS GREAT! DETAIL IS THERE! SIZE IS APPROPRIATE ALTHOUGH A LITTLE ON THE LARGE SIZE, A BIT EXPENSIVE BUT YOU GET THE ENJOYMENT OF BUILDING THE SHIP AND THEN PUTTING IT ON DIPLAY FOR ALL TO SEE.COME TO THINK OF IT! IT WOULD'AVE BEEN BETTER IF LEGO HAD INCLUDED RECESSES OR GROOVES FOR ANY WIRING TO ACOMMODATE THE LIGHTS THAT ARE SEPERATE TO THIS PURCHASE. WHEN THE BRICKS ARE RETURNED AFTER ANY WIRING IS INSTALLED, THE BRICK SITS ON THE WIRE WHICH LIFTS THE BRICK SLIGHTLY OFF ITS INITIAL POSITION. MY ONLY RESOLVE TO THIS WAS TO GLUE THE BRICK DOWN OR CREATE A CHANNEL USING A MINI HACK-SAW OR FILE.NOW FOR THE LIGHTS! AS SOON AS I HAVE RESTED MY HANDS AND CAUGHT UP ON MY SLEEP.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Bought for my son who loves it and it’s the only Lego model he’s kept in one piece too!We love the size and detail, the fun playability, and the great minifigures with it- especially the Baron!A fun build, with a few concessions to functionality, but overall a great set and we think worth the price.

Still a very new collector of Lego with only a few Star wars kits under my belt I was blown away with both the complexity of the built and the functions that the technic produced. As a Dune fan I have always loved the Ornithopter concept and design (Often reminds me of the Orca from Command & Conquer) so the chance to get a model this size with the movement it offers the price feels a lot but If I think of it as a scale model it would be cheap.For the build it was complicated, I build a lot of gunpla so I was prepared, and I can see it being really tough for kids. This a adult level kit for sure.Looks & Play are amazing, yeah there's a lot of little color on display but that's fine for me when I think about what it can do, the landing gear being deployable and the wings sweeping and flapping are just fantastic and sell it set for me alone really. Plus some great minifigs which while not stellar are a welcome extra.I think this set is worth getting if your a Lego fan and want the build challenge but if your a Dune fan it's almost a must have for a collection.

Very good set

I bought this as I buy quite a bit of Star Wars Lego and wanted a change. I’ve always loved Dune movies so to have this available from the latest ones was too good to pass up.I did the build over a couple of nights, there were a few fiddly bits but nothing too difficult. The effort that has gone into all the technics functionality of this piece by the LEGO designer is astounding. It will have a special slot on my wall very soon and I will enjoy looking at it and the fun I had building it. It does look great and all the functions work really well.It’s a No brainer for me, definitely recommended for any LEGO fan and especially any that are a fan of the movie(s) / Lore or just want a different kind of show piece.

Had a lot of fun in the building process. It took me multiple hours to build and comes with a very thick instruction manual and separated sections in different packets. A great combination of LEGO technic parts and standard LEGO pieces. The wings can be folded away for display and the landing gear/legs can be folded away for a 'flight' mode.Definitely not aimed at most kids, but well suited for adults or older teens. Purchased at ~£110.Only downside is that the set of 'wings' I have, bend unevenly, so one side of the wings hang a lot lower than the other and appear wonky. This is the only reason I have given the model 4 instead of 5 stars, as it is quite jarring. Aside from that, the model is almost perfect, and matches the Ornithopter design from the films very well!

A great build, I wanted a lego model of these straight away after watching the movie I'm glad Lego thought the same :)

Just finished after some 4 weeks building. Well worth the effort. This is a complicated kit to build and I would only recommend it to experienced, mature builders. Take your time and follow the instructions carefully (I had to strip back and rebuilt quite a few times in my eagerness to complete the build). Overall, very rewarding.
