Earlier today, I completed this mini-replica of the New Glenn rocket...which I purchased from Blue Origin's online store.
This brick set, manufactured by The Atom Brick and not LEGO®, is comprised of 630 pieces—versus the 3,601 pieces for the LEGO Artemis 1 rocket that I built last Christmas, and the 1,100+ pieces for the LEGO Perseverance Mars rover I constructed in late 2023.
It took around 30 or so minutes to construct the New Glenn rocket, while I worked past midnight this morning (I started assembly on this set yesterday afternoon) to build its mobile launcher! The good thing about LEGO is that its instruction manuals are more specific about which piece I need for a certain part of the set, and the bricks are sorted in different plastic bags by the order in which I needed to assemble the Artemis 1 rocket and Perseverance. It's all good.
This New Glenn set (at 11.5 inches tall) is much smaller than the LEGO Artemis 1 vehicle (which stands at over 2 feet), but just as detailed and awesome nonetheless! Happy Hump Day.
