The Lego Icons Project Hail Mary - Miniature Spaceship Model Kit is currently available on Amazon for £76.03, down from £89.45, in a limited-time deal. Listed as a number one bestseller in the 'Spacecraft Model Building Kits' category, more than 1,000 have been bought in the past month.
Kit Details and Features
Designed for adults, the kit has 830 pieces and features a microscale replica of the Hail Mary spacecraft, a functional display stand, plus a Ryland Grace Lego minifigure and Rocky figure. Lego fans can turn the crank on the display stand to send the crew module into orbit and spin around the main vessel, simulating the centrifugal gravity system, the site says.
The kit could be built to create a futuristic centrepiece for display in the home or office. To get the most out of the kit, shoppers can use the Lego Builder app, where they can view the model in 3D, track their progress and explore other sets.
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
Shoppers have rated the kit highly on Amazon, leaving an overall average rating of 4.8 out of five stars. One person said: "This is a really cool set. Not only is it an intricate build, it perfectly captures the Hail Mary ship, and even has a really cool display feature where it can spin like it does in the film. A section extends out and then rotates and it's fantastic. It's quite a difficult build, be definitely rewarding!"
Another added: "Perfect set. Encapsulates the movie perfectly and the spinning feature is amazing. Very technical, though, so not the best for younger builders. Little bit on the expensive side for what you get, but would still by again."
