I just cannot wait anymore
To open up the box
Let's finish this today!
I've actually completed building this set 2 weeks ago but haven't had time to post this. Building this set brings back memories of all the old classic space sets I've built long ago. Wave of nostalgia when I poured out those blue, grey and yellow bricks!
Among the new Lego Movie sets, the one I was most anticipating and most excited about is Benny's Spaceship since I've always been a big fan of Classic Space. And now, the set is finally here!
I will be taking more photos ns I fix up this beautiful ship. So stay tuned! :D

Review
Growing up, I used to pour over the Lego catalogues.
As a young boy interested in spaceships, this big set has always been
top of my want list. Alas, parents only willing to buy the smaller sets
for me.
Fast forward to the present, I saw this set featured in
the 2009 LEGO Book by DK and triggered the desire to own it one day.
Finally found a complete and reasonable price set on Bricklink, and here
it is!
