Just finished the Saturn V LEGO build for the 50 anniversary. It is still on sale even 2 years after. There are some amazing details I didn’t think would make it into a lego build. If you replace the escape tower with the command module from the splash down part, it does dock with the Lander allowing you to recreate the entire fight in LEGO. I do wish they would have released the Crawler and Launch Tower as an add on kit. This is an amazing LEGO kit all space enthusiasts should have.
Late reply but there is actually an umbilical launch tower but it’s a custom set by the creator of the LEGO Saturn V and it’s more than the set itself.
This particular Lego model seriously hits something in us older guys hey. This model is quite literally my childhood dream. Always wanted a multi-stage model Saturn V
I love how even though bionicle has ended long ago, the parts still provide structural reinforcement, integrity, and engineering to most LEGO sets. In a sense still doing what they were intended, creating and building.
Yes, when they (re-)designed it at Lego and counted the parts, they were 1973 parts, and only then they realized they were close to 1969 (they didn't aim for that number initially), so they made small changes to the stand to save four parts. There was a bit of a small shock when they generated the instructions afterwards and the program Lego uses only counted 1968 parts, but then they remembered that the orange brick seperator counts as an additional part.
Adam. At 4.22 you say you would do knolling for free. My brother just bought 15608 peices to built the Quebec Bridge. A project about 18 feet long. Interested ;-)
Artemis 1 second launch attempt was scheduled at 9.17 pm finnish time on 3 September. I bought LEGO Apollo Saturn V package that day. I started to build it when Artemis 1 launching TV broadcasting was to be started. The launching was cancelled but I started to build Saturn V anyway. It took 5 hours to build stage 1. Next day it took 6 six hours to build the rest. Best LEGO package ever.
I'm 60 years old, and my father was in the Air Force. The space program was a significant part of my childhood, and I was 5 years old when they landed on the moon. Fast forward 55 years, and I'm now a father of two boys who grew up hearing about my passion for the space program. My sons, who spent their childhoods building Star Wars Lego kits, recently gifted me my first Lego set: the NASA Apollo Saturn V. I have only completed the first stage so far, as building it is a time-consuming process, and my hands start to hurt after working on it for a while. I can't wait to finish it. After finishing the Saturn V kit, I would love to build a NASA Skylab kit, if Lego ever releases one, or an International Space Station kit.
Great video. My six year-old built this under my supervision and it was awesome. At 12:00 the LEM needs the thruster from the moon pad to achieve the correct height to mount between the fairings. For the LEM to dock with the command module you have to use the main piece of the "display" (grey with details) command module which has a peg/axle at the top that can be inserted, or modify the white command module using a small peg/axle. And WARNING: To recreate the mission sequence you will need to modify the top of the stage one booster. It has eight red clamps in pairs securing it to the base of stage two. Consequently it disconnects with such force that stage three will fly off from its momentum. To prevent this, remove one clamp from each pair, reducing it from eight to four. This will slightly compromise its integrity when horizontal, but allow the mission sequence to be recreated. And now you know. =P [edit] Forgot the link to my son's build: ua-cam.com/video/j8L6vcH0E4E/v-deo.html&
Just yesterday I finished building mine. My first LEGO set in 16 years. The process really brought me back and the two days I sent with it really gave me the sort of joy I havent felt for a really long time. There is something unreally soothing with building LEGO, it doesn't really compare with plastic modelmaking, which is my "main" creative hobby. With plastic kits, there is something a little unnerving, you can pretty much screw up at any time and all your effort goes to waste. With LEGO there isn't much chance of it and the process itself is just so joyful. On the other hand, I don't think I'm really proud of my LEGO Saturn V, as I would've been with even moderately successfull model kit project. After all, it is "just" following the instruction and there is little of personal skill and invention that goes into it. That being said, it still is an amazing piece to interact with or even just look at and I'm so very happy that I got it.
This channel called BigPlanes is making a 9 foot Saturn V and it is awesome! This just shows me how the scaling up of the work is making it even more impressive.
My wife got me this set for Christmas and I had SO MUCH FUN putting it together. So much fun that I just spent 20 minutes watching someone ELSE put it together so I could relive the joy.
Knolling across bag numbers seems like a bad idea to me. The whole point of those numbers is to make it easier to find what you need for the sub-sections of work.
But it would be even faster still to only knoll within bags. Plus less walking to grab pieces on a table that long. That's extra true considering each of them were working on different parts (different numbered sections) of the instructions.
Megan Turcotte Having built this and many other Lego, knolling was not even required for this set. Lego breaks the bags down so much it's very easy to find all the parts. The time knolling would be greater than the time saved.
I read a comment answering this but I dont know from first hand but apparently tested has that pay for extra stuff program on their site and most of the Martian space suit footage was put up on that paid subscription site. But thats just a comment on read on a older video.
That haven't shown their work yet or have made no progress. Frank got an industrial printer(SLS??) to print pieces of the Martian suit. Looking for Source now.
I saw this model in late 2017 in France (the small town had a Lego exhibit that was pretty cool). I saw the Saturn V and was amazed. I went online when I got home, saw it, and bought it! It's an amazing piece of engineering.
Peter Brown Holy crap peter brown!! What's up man. I didn't expect to see you comment on a tested video, how random lol. I'm a huge fan of your channel man I love what you do never change.
I got mine from the Saturn V building at Kennedy Space Center. which is just about the coolest place ever to buy it. Which if you didn't know has a/the? real Saturn V rocket. It is impossible to describe just how fucking big it is.
A collector's booklet with beautiful details and pictures of the Apollo program too. They could have just gotten PDF versions for their tablets/phones. FeelsBadMan
I was expecting them to bring up tablets to follow digital instructions. But then, Boom! Norm arrives with a torn apart booklet. I actually twitched for a moment.
I had the biggest grin on my face, I didn't realize right away that I was smiling until it started to hurt about 4 minutes in. I LOVE this SO much! and I want one too, but they are expensive. I wish you could buy it one bag at a time.
Imagine your young self, someone told you: "Hey man, want do you want to be when you grow up?". Never would would you think you'd get paid to build lego sculptures whilst wearing a austronaut suit. I want his life XD

VALERIE ROCHE Just keep this one in production for awhile please. It's already sold out online and in the Lego stores in my area. Scalpers are doubling and tripling the prices. It's a beautiful, nostalgic kit I'd really like to own, but not by putting money into filthy scalpers' hands.
... and even more important, the launch pad to hold it! Those fragile exhaust cones could never hold it up. The ReVelle model included the launch pad for displaying. But I don't blame LEGO for omitting. It encourages us to MOC it ourselves!
I got really uncomfortable when you were turning the pages of the manual at 2:05 because it looked like the pages were going to rip! Always turn the pages by the corners!!
I just built this. It was the most fun and intriguing Lego set I've ever built. The use of parts and structural integrity is a Lego engineering masterpiece.

Brian Beard The Mega Blocks Enterprise is outstanding and perfect. It’s also very reasonably priced. There are claims it doesn’t fit well at the top of the saucer but those claims are wrong and due to assembly errors on the part of the builder. Press your pieces together tightly and you’ll have no problems.
Just finished the Apollo V as a one day build and was honestly the most fun I’ve had a long time. Thanks for the inspiration for the one day build and the final product was 100% worth the time!
You can actually dock the command module to the lander, you need to swap it out for the one on the water landing display stand though and use the axle from that to link them.
I just built this set yesterday. I've been building with Legos for 25 years and this is my favorite set of all. It's brilliantly designed and was so much fun to build.
Sorry, that was my fault! Had a little snafu with the wireless sets for the first half of the production. Had to resort to Boom mic -- tried my best to fix in post - Joey
The level of Lego engineering put into this is almost as impressive as the level of engineering placed into the real thing. What a fun watch, thank you.
I like how the guy in the middle went crazy when the guy on the right picked the rockt up. There is absolutely no reason to be afraid - that model is massive and incredibly sturdy. No way it would fall apart accidentally.
You can dock, you take the capsule off the sea landing and put it on the command module. You can also separate the LEM from the base. It is an awesome kit.
lol @ 5:19 "you know.. I know I get the crap for it every single time and I just... I have SO much trouble caring." that is awesome, saving it for future use.
+couchpothead 009 is such a classic too, my plan is also to switch between a couple of different natos, the bracelet is cool too, just a tad too mature for me since i'm only 18 and the 013 is my first watch
It actually can dock. as a person which owns the set, from the beach rescue you just remove the thing at the top but keep the axel and put the beach rescue version of the command module and that is why the Lunar Module has the like axel hole on the top. It’s so you can dock with the axel.
I've been into legos almost my whole life and I've only ever shared 1 set ever. I just don't understand how it's possible to share a set with other people, I couldn't do it
I built this last year and love it. There were some head scratching moments but it came together fine. Really a cool model for me as I was 12 at the time of the first moon landing and I enjoy seeing the model every day. Nice reminder.
My father bought this for me for Christmas and I built it in 11 hours.... this is the most gorgeous set I have built. 😭💙😍 I loved every second while building it.

its 1969 because of the year 1969 when Apollo 11 launched.

I hope Lego gets the hint that stickers are a no-go. Wouldn't have bought this or Women of NASA otherwise
Same, actually two decades for me. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Haters gonna hate.
My Saturn V has fallen over about 4-5 times and has never broke anything but the fins and the launch escape system
nice
Does it ever radomly fall over even on a even surface ?
My Saturn V had a piece loose on the inside until I dismantled parts of the first stage and repaired it, it was just getting to ongoing
Haha the second stage of mine collapsed when it fell
I love how even though bionicle has ended long ago, the parts still provide structural reinforcement, integrity, and engineering to most LEGO sets. In a sense still doing what they were intended, creating and building.
Is the lighting for Saturn V a good addition & where is best to purchase it from. I just bought it for my best friend.
I’ve always wanted a model of Falcon Heavy.
That probably won't happen because it's will soon be surpassed by the SpaceX Starship. The Starship will probably have a model someday.

U built the descent vehicle wrong. There is a black fez piece at the bottom so it connects and doesn't just rest on the build
Also the listing on Amazon shows a pic of the command module docked with the LM.
I dunno if they mentioned this in the beginning or not but there are 1969 pieces in that set. Apollo 11 Launched on July 16 1969
Kaleb Pippo thats awesome
It was launched in July 11 1970
Do you even history? It launched and landed in 1969.
No they did not, in fact Norm totally missed it and rounded up . At the beginning he said there are 2,000 pieces

Knolling across bag numbers seems like a bad idea to me. The whole point of those numbers is to make it easier to find what you need for the sub-sections of work.
But the bag system is with the intention that you won't be knolling in the first place
But it would be even faster still to only knoll within bags. Plus less walking to grab pieces on a table that long. That's extra true considering each of them were working on different parts (different numbered sections) of the instructions.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that they opened all the bags ignoring the numbers hahahaha nice to see i wasn't alone
Megan Turcotte Having built this and many other Lego, knolling was not even required for this set. Lego breaks the bags down so much it's very easy to find all the parts. The time knolling would be greater than the time saved.
They knoll, not because they need to but just for the joy of seeing all the parts laid out in patterns.

"Oh Lego, is there nothing you can't do?"
STAR TREK!
Brian Beard The Mega Blocks Enterprise is outstanding and perfect. It’s also very reasonably priced. There are claims it doesn’t fit well at the top of the saucer but those claims are wrong and due to assembly errors on the part of the builder. Press your pieces together tightly and you’ll have no problems.
I think it's all about copyright issues
5:25 Adam *Savage*
That's right Adam, you tell 'em!
OMG Adam is so cute in the space suit !!
san kitty Agreed!
Just finished the Apollo V as a one day build and was honestly the most fun I’ve had a long time. Thanks for the inspiration for the one day build and the final product was 100% worth the time!
Apollo 5?
4:15 is it me or is seeing all those pieces nicely sorted sort of satisfying
No ur not alone
I just spent 20 minutes watching grown men building Legos
It's been a year since this comment....you regret anything?
Worth it.
They're building 'Lego' not 'Legos'!
Ha
yep....Fuck i need a life.
You can actually dock the command module to the lander, you need to swap it out for the one on the water landing display stand though and use the axle from that to link them.
They didn't read through those parts of the manual though, they just ripped it up instead. :(
Marclivis Yeah, I don't get why they ripped it up, it was such a beautiful manual.
They don't care. Caring takes time and TV personalities have no time for time.
As crude as they are, they make all the $ so, that's our culture.
My five year old cousin built this by himself, it was amazing, both yours and his look exactly the same and the set is wonderful
I just built this set yesterday. I've been building with Legos for 25 years and this is my favorite set of all. It's brilliantly designed and was so much fun to build.
I love the fact that the man with the NASA shirt wore an Omega speedmaster, mad respect for that guy!!!! Love the vid guys keep it up
NOOOOOOOOooooooo………
who? I ask you, who opens all of the bags at once?
Me
big mistake
I usually do? Half the fun for me in lego building is digging around and finding the part like buried treasure! ^.^
Well, there are three of them working on the build... Maybe if Adam had done it solo...
Me, sometimes with small sets
That is so beautiful! Well done
I think Adam and Will forgot to turn on their mics.
Sorry, that was my fault! Had a little snafu with the wireless sets for the first half of the production. Had to resort to Boom mic -- tried my best to fix in post - Joey
Not a problem. I know how these things go. I only noticed because your work is so excellent.
Bruce Wolfe awwwwww, so sweet
The level of Lego engineering put into this is almost as impressive as the level of engineering placed into the real thing.
What a fun watch, thank you.
I like how the guy in the middle went crazy when the guy on the right picked the rockt up. There is absolutely no reason to be afraid - that model is massive and incredibly sturdy. No way it would fall apart accidentally.
Lord Roo do a quick search for “Norm LEGO Super Star Destroyer” and you’ll see why there was concern. He has a history with these things.
Also there's an alternate command module dome piece so it can doc
ONCV_55 where
You can dock with the LM you just have to use the command module in the water part of the mission
is Will wearing an Omega Speedmaster moon watch?
Yes!
You can dock, you take the capsule off the sea landing and put it on the command module. You can also separate the LEM from the base. It is an awesome kit.
lol @ 5:19 "you know.. I know I get the crap for it every single time and I just... I have SO much trouble caring." that is awesome, saving it for future use.
very nice SKX Adam :) just ordered a 013 for myself
Felix Wild good eye there felix. I enjoy my 009. except I don't have adams bracelet I cycle through different natos.
Felix Wild I've got the Turtle. SRP773. I love it
Does Will have a Speedmaster?
Yep, that is a Speedy.
+couchpothead 009 is such a classic too, my plan is also to switch between a couple of different natos, the bracelet is cool too, just a tad too mature for me since i'm only 18 and the 013 is my first watch
I would be tempted to put those microfigs on my 3d printed moon model...
Please do more LEGO related videos
"I have so much trouble caring" This is why you're my hero, Adam. Patron saint of everything I love about props, toys, and being an adult kid.
It actually can dock. as a person which owns the set, from the beach rescue you just remove the thing at the top but keep the axel and put the beach rescue version of the command module and that is why the Lunar Module has the like axel hole on the top. It’s so you can dock with the axel.
"Screw you Mythbusters i wanna build toys for the rest of my life!"
1969 pieces for the year of the Apollo 11 landing!
I've been into legos almost my whole life and I've only ever shared 1 set ever. I just don't understand how it's possible to share a set with other people, I couldn't do it
I think it is because some sets, like this one, are split into multiple stages anyways so it's easy for each person to build one stage
As the name implies, I'm a HUGE fan of Lego and I'm so glad you are too.
I'm convinced that watching Adam do legitimately anything would be entertaining
1969 pieces In the build and Apollo 11 was launched in 1969
Illuminati comfirmed
£109. Honestly, I was expecting it to be more.
yeah its pretty good value for 1969 pieces
SeriouslyMikey yeah this set is one of the cheapest lego has made! its sick!!!
holy crap that's so cheap for lego
its because LEGO dont have to pay WB or other film companies for LEGO Batman or like LEGO Star Wars sets
Sad part is. From what I heard. They sold out of this model within hours of releasing it. Though that is what I heard.
Why are all the comments about hating Norm? Don't listen to them, Norm.
Yeah, I know I would be the Norm in that room anyway.
I built this last year and love it. There were some head scratching moments but it came together fine. Really a cool model for me as I was 12 at the time of the first moon landing and I enjoy seeing the model every day. Nice reminder.
My father bought this for me for Christmas and I built it in 11 hours.... this is the most gorgeous set I have built. 😭💙😍 I loved every second while building it.
