Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
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
LEGO Icons PAC-MAN Arcade
Pros
- Hand-crank mechanism actually animates Pac-Man and the four ghosts through the maze
- Mini-Pac-Man micro figure on top of the cabinet (the meta moment)
- Iconic 1980 cabinet styling — yellow, black, marquee art, coin slot
- Best kinetic LEGO mechanism since the Typewriter
Cons
- Hand-crank is delicate — over-rotation can pop the chain mechanism
- Won't work as a static display piece for non-arcade fans
- Marquee printing is small and easy to misalign during the build
