Amazon’s Great UK Spring Sale means you can save up to 20% on Lego’s NASA Artemis II SLS set, ahead of the launch of Artemis II, a space travel landmark, the first manned mission to orbit the Moon in over fifty years!
Save £33 on the Lego Ideas NASA Artemis Space Launch System set and £20% on Lego Ideas NASA Artemis Space Launch System set at Amazon UK.
Meanwhile, the Lego Technic NASA Artemis Space Launch System set is best suited for builders who want their sets to have some action. Not only does the finished kit “lift” off the launch pad, but the Technic mechanism also shows it shedding its booster rockets. It’s significantly cheaper than the Ideas kit, £44 compared to £187.

If you’re buying for another adult, the Lego Ideas NASA Artemis Space Launch System is the model to go for, because it’s a near-perfect recreation of the launch system itself. It also has some interactive features, such as a moving portal, and overall it’s quite a monster.
But if you’re buying for a younger builder, or for educational purposes, the Lego Technic Artemis Space Launch System is the one to go for. Neither set comes with full-sized minifigures, but the Technic set has four nano-style figures, located at the base of the rocket, and has some nifty interactive features.
Thanks to a built-in mechanism, you can watch the Technic rocket soar high and release the booster rockets. Granted, it might be a problem if the real Artemis II drops its boosters this early, but it’s a fun, fascinating feature. Just hurry, because we expect these deals to sell out soon. The Lego Icons Artemis set is currently on backorder at Lego.com and it’s full price!
We rank both of these among the best Lego NASA sets and the best Lego space sets, so your biggest challenge will be deciding which one to get! Why not buy both? It’s certainly an option, but if money is an issue, the Lego Technic Artemis Space Launch System is cheaper at £44.
