A couple of days ago I got sent a very special package in the mail.

I’ve never gotten a set before the release date direct from Denmark. I don’t know how I got on the list, but I want to thank whoever at LEGO put me on it so that I could get to review such a great set! :)

This is the first LEGO Ideas set that I’ve opened. I bought the Ghostbusters set, but I’ve been too busy to get to it yet — isn’t it a bummer that I’m too busy building with LEGO to build with LEGO? (totally sarcastic) ;)

The instruction book is really nice, with great pictures of Peter Reid — the LEGO fan that created the original concept and Mark Stafford — Senior LEGO Set Designer

As well as the story of the Exo-Suit Adventure

This set also features new green suit Classic Spacemen (and woman ;) ) as well as Peter’s signature turtle

I have to say, I love the new green suits! When Classic Space originally came out green wasn’t even a LEGO color yet or we would have seen this sooner I’m sure.
The suit design is simply stunning! I’m not a mecha builder, but this just might convert me! There’s so much greebling (http://'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeble'). This model is sleek, totally pose-able and just plain awesome!

This isn’t the greatest pic, but it shows how well the five fingered exo-suit hands can hold the turtle.

Here’s a quick time lapse I made of the build
So my final verdict — buy it!!! Its coming out August 1st and will be $35 USD. I was already planning on picking up the model brfore I got this, and I’m certainly interested in getting more than one of these, its just that cool!
