LEGO has officially revealed the LEGO Ideas Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket over on their Facebook Page. There’s no word on piece count but it does have a release date of June.
The project by saabfan and whatsuptoday hit 10,0000 supporters back in November 2015 and it was announced last year that it would become an official LEGO Ideas set.
Are you guys excited to finally see the Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket and will you be picking it up in June when it is released?

Multiple!
Need to see the lower segments in order to decide, they normally have a difficult time portraying the rockets and things.
Looks like a biggun’. If the lower half is in proportion to the top then it should be around 100 bricks high, about a meter.

No idea how it will deviate but it will be at least taller than 80cm
Reference taken 3×9,6mm (28,8mm) on the top section.
What do you think? Might be close?
I reckon ~120 brick heights, so over a metre.
The Brothers Brick estimated it at over 2′ tall. Brickset figured closer to 43″ and the tallest set they’ve ever released. From the bottom of the picture to the top of the grille tiles should be exactly 5″ because it’s 16 studs stood on end. Based on that, it looks to be between 36-37″ tall. Not sure how that stacks up against the back catalog, but it’s definitely the tallest Cuusoo/Ideas set so far. And then all it needs is some minifigs of actual NASA astronauts so they can preemptively do some damage control on the PR mess that the Women of NASA set will end up being when people realize that being inclusive of women will basically mean cutting the men out altogether.
It just looks…boring. I can see the appeal if you’re really into the whole Space theme, but I see a big tower of white bricks. Let’s hope the Fisherman’s Shack is interesting else we’re in for a drab few Ideas sets.
Well, it’s definitely bigger than the line of NASA sets from early 2000s.
