Lego’s just-released massive Barad-dûr set is pretty cool, I’m not going to lie. Yet, at $460 and with over 5,000 pieces, it’s not for everybody. If you’re looking for a good Father’s Day gift that’ll eat up less money and time, Lego’s NASA Apollo 11 lunar lander set might be a better alternative. Normally $99.99, right now, it’s available on sale as an Amazon Lightning Deal for $79.99 ($20 off). That’s the set’s best price of the year and only $10 shy of its all-time low.

The set features detachable descent and ascent stages.
Developed together with NASA, the set was released in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission — also known as the mission that landed the first humans on the Moon. The 1,087-piece set contains a replica of the lander that, once assembled, you can display on a Lego base designed to resemble the Moon’s surface.

The highly detailed interior along with a little astronaut.
Lego’s also thrown in a lot of other details to bring the mission to life, from the US flag to an interior for the ascent stage half of the lander. There are even two minifigure astronauts and the lunar lander ladder they climbed down. It’s a terrifically fun piece to spend an afternoon building. All in all, it’s a set that makes for a pretty unique piece of office or home decor.
