LEGO Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter 10327, Collectible Dune Inspired Model for Build and Display, Adult Gift Idea for Sci-Fi Movie Fans, 8 Minifigures

I thought that after building the Concorde last year, this would be an easier kit because it had fewer parts and a smaller box. I was so wrong! This one has very intricate mechanics that are incredibly detailed and complex. Let me start with the good things: The instructions are extremely clear and easy to follow. The mechanics are truly impressive. Everything fits perfectly and works well. This includes the landing gear, the wings, and the cabin. The model is quite sturdy. You can hold it, and the pieces won't be falling off every minute. It can be a real conversation piece, especially when you retract and extend the wings and show the flapping mechanism. The action figures are a nice touch. I like that you get one action figure per stage. This is a lovely way to provide you with a little token to encourage you to persevere through the construction. Now for the challenges: I am not writing this to discourage anyone from purchasing and building this kit, but I am providing this advice, especially if this is your first or umpteenth LEGO Technic model: 1) Make sure that you have a wide area, free from clutter, to place the parts as you empty each bag. I use a baking tray. 2) It helps to read a few steps ahead in the instruction manual, so that you can see exactly how the parts function. 3) There is a lot of repetition, especially in the wing mechanism, so be prepared to do certain steps 8 times. 4) The movement of the wing area seems quite limited in the beginning. But don't worry. Everything works perfectly fine when all the parts have been put together. Ultimately, this kit is well designed and offers a rewarding experience! Another mechanical masterpiece from the Lego Icons series.

I absolutely love this model, i have been always a fan of Lego and Dune so i might come a little bit biased, however, i love the model, i love the minifigures, i love how sharp everything moves, although some of the technic aspect of the model you can see, it hasnt bothered me, i love how pristine the cockpit looks and is an amazing place to display your minifigures, also, this model is huge, im 6ft tall and this is about 80% of the size of my whole arm, the wings also look pristine and when the whole model is deployed i think its when its the most gorgeous, i am currently displaying it on a counter and i absolutely love every aspect of it, this is a good win for the Lego team, thank you for giving Dune fans this model 10/10 this was the mot complex model i have built, but it was worth it. took me about 4 hours (literally watched Dune twice while building it) Recomendations: If you are a Dune fan, this is a must have Watch Dune while building it Take ur time, this is a complex model and if u mess up, ur gonna have to rebuild some aspects of it If you are a Lego fan but not a Dune fan

Synopsis - An amazingly fun build and a good tribute to the Dune series. I am a huge fan of the Dune series and when I saw this Lego available, I knew I had to get it. It’s cool to build the same Atreides Royal Ornithopter you read about in the first book and see in the movies. The build for this particular Lego is quite enjoyable as it has a lot of components that will move and our mechanical in nature. It makes following the instructions extremely critical as building something slightly off, will hinder your ability to allow the Lego to function as a movable object. In the end, I 100% suggest grabbing this Lego. It was a fun build that took me a little over four hours to do but could be done much quicker by someone more experienced in building Legos. 5 Royally Betrayed Stars out of 5!

This was a great build for my Lego loving 13 yo! I had never seen this set before and it is really neat. A lot of details. It is very unique- we’ve bought hundred of Lego sets and this is my personal favorite- best size, details, pieces and challenge for price,

Given as a holiday gift, very much loved. This isn't for a novice builder but a seasoned LEGO journeyman/craftsman...fun was had and it has a special place on a shelf for viewing.

Being a fan of dune books and movies and also a fan of legos. I decided to purchase this item. The item was relatively easy to put together. I think it's age-appropriate for what was written on the box, which I forget the exact age. But it was probably somewhere between ten and thirteen. I think it's pretty cool that once the project is completed. It's great to display, but it also has the ability to be interactive, so you can fold up the wings. You can fold up the landing gear. You can also make the winds flap, so it doesn't have to just sit there. As always, my biggest complaint with lego is its pricing. Did it prevents some families too purchase? Legos and allow kids to explore their creative side.

The wings sag a little, with that being said; I have owned over 100 Lego sets in my life and this is one of the most fun builds I have ever had the please of enjoying. It’s even better looking in person, feels sturdier than most other sets I have and the functionality of the wings and landing gear. I am so happy I purchased this set, if you love Dune and Lego then I highly recommend snatching one of these up before they retire it. 5 stars, would purchase again and I honestly might haha

Loved every piece, every step.

Es una gran experiencia el armarlo y la mecánica para poner las alas en posición y el abatir de las mismas es increíble así como la mecánica para el tren de aterrizaje, si eres fan de este gran épico cinematográfico debes tenerlo en tu colección.

Got this for my boyfriend for chirstmas! Super cool set with moving wings. Was super fun to put together!

This is one of the greatest lego sets of all time. I would get another if I wanted to also be murdered by my wife. The Amazon video of the lady playing with it sold me.

Hermosa representación Lego del Ornitoptero de la película Dune. Como simple, con la excelente presentación y calidad de siempre en Lego.

This is an incredible build. It’s amazing how they fit the mechanism to fold and flap the wings, the landing gear and the back ramp inside of the small body. It also just looks fantastic; even better than in the product images. Having all of the first film’s characters in mini figures is pretty cool too. Here’s hoping they do more Dune vehicles, like the Spice Harvester, or the ominous Harkonnen ship from the start of Part 2.
