LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery + Hubble

The LEGO Icons Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) remains a favorite display piece in my collection. The orbiter build captures the black-and-white tile pattern beautifully, and the payload bay doors, Canadarm, and deployable Hubble telescope make it feel like a mini diorama of STS-31. The build runs about 10 hours with a nice mix of Technic structure and SNOT paneling, and the finished shuttle is surprisingly sturdy—you can lift it by the sides without flex. I keep the Hubble on its standalone display stand most days, but docking it in the bay with the articulated arm never gets old. The included info plaques tie the whole presentation together. It’s a big footprint and commands a premium on Amazon now that the set is retired, yet as a companion to the Saturn V it’s fantastic.
