Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Icons Jazz Club
Pros
- Three connected venues — jazz club, pizza place, tailor's shop
- Working stage with horn quartet and pianist setup
- New Orleans-style architecture with cast-iron balconies
- Seven characters with story-rich casting (musicians, server, tailor, customers)
- Modular base — connects to the [Boutique Hotel](/reviews/boutique-hotel) and other Modular sets
Cons
- $230 is on the higher end of recent Modular MSRPs
- Cast-iron balcony work is fiddly — small pieces, tight tolerances
- Limited gritty-NOLA character (set is more polished than authentic)
LEGO Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System
Pros
- 1m of vertical display height — the tallest LEGO space set ever made
- Iconic orange-and-white SLS livery in actual brick colour, not stickers
- Removable Orion spacecraft sub-build at the top
- Mobile launcher tower with detailed servicing arms
- Booster separation stages display modes
Cons
- Vertical footprint demands 1m+ of ceiling clearance
- Mobile launcher tower is tall and tip-prone — anchor it
- Some sticker work on the SLS livery panels
