I like the fact that it has 1969 pieces in it, in recognition of the year. Have to say it looks good, much better then many of these construction items that I see around.

Brilliant, I got to get one too

Bit pricey for me but looks well smart

That's really nice. I, like many teenagers at the time, built the  Airfix Saturn V and it was a big thing and I was proud of it. That "kit" though is something else.

The Present Mrs Foster is 'on board' so I think I'll definitely be getting one

The 1969 pieces does it for me too Ronin

Couldn't afford the Saturn 5 so had to make do with just the LEM, boy was that put together with care and determination

Me too, but now wondering where the model is, must be boxed up in the loft somewhere.  Also had a revell LM, complete with gold foil..

At first I thought it was one of those De Agostini magazines....1969 issues would have been pretty expensive! First issue 99p, subsequent issues £8.99...

Lego however is fine...

Awesome! I had the Revell Saturn V when I was kid, when it was finished my dad put it on the sideboard (my mom was not best pleased) and the escape rocket nearly touched the ceiling! 

How I envy anybody who witnessed one lift off for real.

Yes, its funny how mums encourage you to take up a hobby and  then when you do, niggle about  dusting models. I could never quite understand that. Those early days of space exploration was so exciting and then came Apollo and the Saturn V, still magnificent.

I feel some Dad-Son bonding time coming up! (He's 6 would absolutely love this!)

[Ravenous]

I'll be putting aside some beer vouchers for that!
