LEGO 10283 NASA SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY Review! (2021)

Is this the PERFECT LEGO Space Shuttle? 10283 Space Shuttle Discovery might be. The $200 set includes 2,354 pieces to create the Shuttle and Hubble Space Telescope, a large "bonus" build included in my eyes. The set features working landing gear, rudder/speed break, body flap, elevons, and. many other accurate details.

Okay fun fact time: At the Kennedy Space Center, Space Shuttle Atlantis was to be displayed at a 45 degree angle, but the guy who was designing the stands for display had it at a 43.21 degree angle. The reasoning for this is because of the countdown: 4...3...2...1...0... LIFTOFF!

Fun fact: on the actual Space Shuttle, it can’t retract the landing gear, only deploy them. They have to be manually stowed prior to launch. So the Lego set actually got it exactly right.

[@Gzilla313]

Just one thing Ryan, it's called a Canadarm or the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System. It came from a relationship between NASA and the National Research Council of Canada that started in 1975.

[@arnabsaha7525]

The landing gear is 100% accurate to the real shuttle. Once the landing gear is down you’re landing.

[@f6ngxcm]

i think you're landing and then you bring down the landing gear not vice versa

[@captainrex9053]

@@f6ngxcm no because with the shuttles once you deployed the landing gear, you couldn't bring it back up to reattempt a landing, hence him saying, that once you deployed the landing gear you were landing, whether on the runway or off it

[@razorfett147]

Correct. The shuttles didnt have any hydraulic systems to retract the gear like a typical aircraft. Once released they deployed via gravity. They could only be put back into the wheel wells by ground crews

[@Fish_Feet]

Definitely going to buy it, I have always loved aircraft and spacecraft and this is an amazing model so thanks for the review!

[@gamingandlego4735]

Ryan, there is a piece missing in the cockpit! It goes on the clip piece on the front control panel. It looks cool with the trophy figures from the Saturn five and ISS in the seats. Also to get the Hubble in the payload bay you have to take the golden rods off then place it on with the nasa logo piece facing up. The 2 black pieces that stick out on the sides that the rods attach too sit on top the light gray printed part with lines. The back of the Hubble should press against the 2 tabs in front of the spring pieces for the landing gear. Hope this helps.

[@stBricks-dx7er]

That claw inside the ship was actually made by Canada and they put a tiny Canadian flag on the side of it. I would be really impressed if they added that in there.

[@fredbelfort3778]

Unfortunately they didn't but a seller on Etsy has made replacement tube piece that has the correct Canada text and flag.

Very nice looking build. I always like how the telescope fits smoothly inside the shuttle.

[@kitbailey6963]

I've always had a certain fascination with the Space Shuttle. Particularly back in the very late 70's. The shuttle just had that Buck Rogers in the 21st Century feel to it. It's quite a lovely aircraft/ space vehicle. This Lego set was a no brainer for me. I bought it to build and display in my office near my desk top. The build went beautifully. I took my time and did the build in my spare time for enjoyment. Once built, I was actually sad because it gave me such enjoyment. I see several light sets are available as well. Which might add a different dynamic to the set. Though I own a ranch with horses here in Texas, I love these type hobbies if you will. It challenges the mind. Now it sits in my office under an acrylic case with acrylic stands inside. It looks amazing and my ranch hands love looking at it as well. I do have family at NASA in Houston Texas. One an engineer and the other an analyst. Both worked on the program back in the early to mid 90's. I sent pictures of my Shuttle. They both were in awe I could build such a thing. Especially since they know I'm just a rancher. That was fun. Overall the build was relatively without incident. Those mirrored stickers were a little tricky, but all went precisely where they needed to be. I was particularly proud of the Hubble build. It gives some sense of scale if one were to imagine 1:1 scale. The real Hubble is an engineering feat. Some of the most incredible images of space, deep space, came by way of Hubble and yes Discovery launched it. Oh and my family member, the one who is an engineer, sent me one tile, serial numbered from one of the earlier Shuttles. It makes my display even more meaningful. I highly recommend this set. Like I stated, it's a relatively easy build. 🛰 KB

[@gamerdudetm9558]

It’s so smooth and sleek I love it!

[@davidwilkins9651]

Gotta wait for my next paycheque then im gonna buy this lol

[@Daniel-vj9oq]

I am just finished building this set. The stickers were a bit painful to put on, but besides that, this is a brilliant set. I will need to find some SPACE to put it now.

[@alexander1485]

[@MileHighModels]

So having seen Discovery at the Udvar Hazy center, it is fantastic. I don’t think we realize just how large these things were until standing next to them. If you are able to get there, or see any space shuttle period, do it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

[@randomperson3187]

[@noahkentros4272]

So glad you got the meaning of the velocity correct. Thank you Master Mand

[@AllOutBrick]

Nice review! I like how you showed the engineering behind the landing gear function, I have this set and didn't pick up on the tiles in the hallway shifting as the plate pushes in, I thought it only affected the spring loaded parts on the interior.

[@RememberPluto]

I am a huge fan of the Space Shuttle program. I recently got into LEGO again and was on the Lego site buying. I saw this advertised all over the site and really wanted to buy it. I clicked the ads and it always took me to like star wars sets. I thought it wasn't released or was a retired set. I was bored about a week later when I found the Exclusive selection of the site and finally found this set and bought it instantly. I can't wait till build it. It looks truly amazing.

[@obi-wankenobi1203]

I like how it is mostly studded off

[@swipyduck]

The Telescope fits perfectly and snug into the bay if you remove the folded solar panels add ons taht they want you to use to display it when it unloads the telescope :) Just found out about it and it's a perfect fit! It's also sooo heavy when u have Hubble inside of the shuttle

[@Maxiie_TM]

[@ubergarchomp1388]

Ordered mine the minute it released and is still yet to be shipped. Looks amazing and i love the various details like the rudder flap!

[@enquiryplay]

The blue technic pins are friction pins. Lego often make them blue so they aren't easily confused with the regular pins.

[@codymay2870]

A little late but the Hubble Space Telescope was included because this specific set was modelled after the STS-31 mission, which was the mission that launched the HST into orbit. On a more personal note, I think the decision to make it Shuttle Discovery specifically was a cool idea. Discovery was the most-used OV in the program, and even performed both return-to-flight missions following the STS-51L and STS-107 disasters. However, I think they should have included interchangeable nameplates and logos so you can display any of the five shuttles. But still a fantastic model regardless.

I hope they do a new Naboo Starfighter using the drum lacquered silver bricks. Sure, it isn't super shiny chrome, but I think it would look great, and probably be a ton more durable as far as the finish.

[@SaturnCanuck]

Great review Ryan. One, as a Canadian, it is the Canadarm ( a contraction of Canada Arm). Was developed by Spar Aerospace for the Shuttle Program in Canada, just a few kms from where I am writing this. Yeah Canada. Two, the section you pull out on the Hubble, to mount it to the Shuttle, is actually where they did the repair for the Hubble. Cool bit of detail there.

[@SaturnCanuck]

Ohm, some more info. As the F-1 engines ion the Saturn V and the SSME engines on the shuttle are about the same size, the used of the same parts for the engines means the Lego Apollo Saturn V and this model are to the same scale.
