LEGO Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter Build and Display Set 10327

LEGO please give us more Dune sets, at least give us a set based on the sandworms.

The ratio of minifigs to pieces in this set makes for a really fun build. Watching the movies and building the ornithopter side-by-side was one of a kind experience, you can really see the love and attention to detail. I just hope they more release more Dune sets in the future.

As a long term lover of the Dune books, with this being reignited by the recent cinematic adaptations the Ornithopter has always been a key Dune vehicle and the version in the latest films has really been brought to life so when Lego produced this version it was always a must have and I have not been disappointed with the additional ability to operate the wings, fold the wings and retract the landing gear and ramp it is an amazing version of the on screen vehicle. If you are a fan of the Dune series then I think this is a must and even if you are you will not be disappointed.

So good! Such a fun, but challenging build. Highly recommend.

Brilliant and intricate design that when complete, looks amazing on a display shelf. The feature of having the wings extended or 'tucked in' is such a neat addition that makes play, and display equally fantastic. Mini figs are great and if they do decide to release more DUNE sets in the future, the playability will be great. Yes, Lego, that is a hint to release more big DUNE sets! The cons: A very fiddly build that had a number of awkward moments where it felt like the slightest bit of additional pressure would snap the entire build in half. Probably the most stressful build I've ever done to be perfectly honest. The rotors do come slightly bent, which makes it annoying for perfectionists that want that symmetrical look. Lastly, it's jarring having many exposed colour pieces on this set. I'm not sure if the designers did this to make the build easier when connecting certain bricks, but having red and blue pieces visible really does take away from how gorgeous this design is. Great value for money. Lots of playability. Easy to display. Could be better. Overall: 3.75 / 5

Title says it all. Great build. Great movie.

This was a christmas gift. Showed up very fast, and super excited to build.

The highlight is the build process, with so many great intricate combinations of pieces to form the nice flapping mechanism we see later on the demos. I love this series and started to research more about the books after building this set. Thank you LEGO!

This was easily the most challenging sets I've built. I like that and the Technic aspects were nice. Love the flappable wings. Great collection of minifigs and it looks great on a shelf.

I have built MANY lego sets and this was by far the most fun build i’ve done. it is intricate and complex but not frustrating to put together. it all goes together in a satisfying way and it’s solid. 10/10

So I've grown up with Lego since I was a boy, around 1900BC i think and to date this is by far the most enjoyable build I have ever done. To sum up the build and to reflect the Title, I found my self almost involuntarily making the noises as I was building and testing mechanisms, right up to the conclusion of the build a little under 4 hours later, much to the dismay of my 10 year old daughter and confused looks of bewilderment from the rest of my family as this 6ft lump wades around the house playing with a mechanised dragonfly making random Sci-fi inspired noises, my wife and daughter in unison calling me an idiot. Why? Well what does it for me is seeing the evolution of how the technical parts or moving mechanisms work together. The fact that the instructions tell you what mechanism you're currently working on is the cherry on top for me. How they managed to get so many complicated moving aspects to function so seamlessly into what is essentially a tight and compact build is a phenomenal achievement. In other builds where there is a lot of technical and functional elements (like gearing in the cars), they don't really translate into the playability, but every moving part in this build does and is clear from the outset, that really appeals to me. Admittedly there are "curved" wing issues that can't be avoided but I really didn't notice that until later in the build, also the wing flutter is a little understated but really that is nit picking at all the magnificence surrounding literally everything else. I'm not a big minifigure person, but they too are well thought out taking into the context the source they are inspired from, and sooo many of them too! The strength of the slender build is another endearing quality too, making playability a real and justifiable thing. Even the feet landing gear is a beauty to behold and so stable when fully engaged. Yep, best yet for me.

The Dune Ornithopter was one of the first large sets I’ve boughten in years and boy I was not disappointed! With a very respectable price tag, a challenging yet satisfying build, and most of all, an absolutely cool looking set with very neat features (especially the wings) I would recommend this set 10 times out of 10.

The functionality of it and the design is so awesome

Awesome figures and s great set

In spite of some of the reviews I’ve read, I found this kit to be an excellent build, no quality issues, no fit issues. I followed the instructions very carefully which resulted in a perfect fully functional model. Landing gear, wing flap and wing retraction all work great. Well worth the time spent. It is lots of little pieces and very technical but a lot of fun if you have the patience for it. I’ve added it to my list of favorite Legos!

I have nothing but positives to share regarding this one. The build is a fun combination of Technic and traditional features. The resulting build is more technical than traditional sets but did not feel tedious to me at all. The mechanical aspects (wings, landing gear) are so awesome to see and operate. The finished ship is very sturdy and I'm not worried about pieces falling off just because something brushes against it. The inclusion of 8 figures is delicious icing on the cake (Baron Harkonnen is hilarious, Bravo designers!). This is a fantastic value and comes highly recommended. More like this (specifically Dune!) please.

My daughter and I were really excited for this build…. Then we opened the box. First the QR code to register our set was completely smeared and unable to scan to register it which kinda stunk but not a huge deal. There were multiple missing pieces (thankfully we have a large collection to pull from, minus the set specific pieces), pages missing…. correction, pages printed out of order, and crumpled cape for the Baron (we lightly ironed to get it slightly better). Overall it’s a cool set and was fun once we got past the multiple issues we had with this set. Pretty disappointed in the quality of this set though.

This was a super enjoyable set to build. You doubt whether it will all work when you are half way in but by the end the technic elements work perfectly. I loved the movie and I loved the build. Well worth the investment!

One of the best sets I have built So many features that are unique Nice display it’s very large in length but there’s an option to put the wings to the side

Honestly, one of the better and more refined sets from LEGO. Extremely unique and well integrated technic system for operating the wings. Easily one of my favorite sets, but with one major flaw. I prefer to keep the wings extended on display, but over time, I have noticed that the plastic is starting to give and they are beginning to sag. It looses its sharp display look when you’re looking at uneven wings.
