The LEGO Galaxy Explorer 10497 is a 90th-anniversary remake of the 1979 Classic Space set 497, rebuilt at a much larger scale for adult builders. It keeps the original's blue-and-gray color scheme and blended delta wing shape, and adds retractable landing legs, opening rear doors with a ramp, a rover bay with a small rover, and a cockpit that opens onto a four-seat interior with beds, computers and storage. With 1,246 pieces and four astronauts, it is a display model first and a play set second. Reviewers treat it as one of the best LEGO space sets in years, praising the build and the nostalgia; the main complaints are the high piece count for the size and stickers instead of printed parts.
