A couple of days ago I got sent a very special package in the
mail.

I’ve never gotten a set before the release date direct from
Denmark. I don’t know how I got on the list, but I want to thank
whoever at LEGO put me on it so that I could get to review such
a great set! :)

This is the first LEGO Ideas set that I’ve opened. I bought the
Ghostbusters set, but I’ve been too busy to get to it yet —
isn’t it a bummer that I’m too busy building with LEGO to build
with LEGO? (totally sarcastic) ;)

The instruction book is really nice, with great pictures of
Peter Reid — the LEGO fan that created the original concept and
Mark Stafford — Senior LEGO Set Designer

As well as the story of the Exo-Suit Adventure

This set also features new green suit Classic Spacemen (and
woman ;) ) as well as Peter’s signature turtle

I have to say, I love the new green suits! When Classic Space
originally came out green wasn’t even a LEGO color yet or we
would have seen this sooner I’m sure.
The suit design is simply stunning! I’m not a mecha builder, but
this just might convert me! There’s so much

This isn’t the greatest pic, but it shows how well the five
fingered exo-suit hands can hold the turtle.

Here’s a quick time lapse I made of the build
So my final verdict — buy it!!! Its coming out August 1st and
will be $35 USD. I was already planning on picking up the model
brfore I got this, and I’m certainly interested in getting more
than one of these, its just that cool!
