Folks, you are not ready for this one! Welcome to Wishlist After Dark. It's the lego Icons Project Hail Mary, the perfect gift for the grown-up lego builder. I've got Sunny with me, our ray of joy, and Penny Pickwell, who reads fine print for fun. Hi everyone! Marty, I can't stop looking at this little ship! Hello. I read the reviews so you don't have to. Now look at this number, folks: 830 pieces!

Sunny, what's in the build? You get the spaceship on its stand, then Ryland Grace in his red suit, and a buildable Rocky! Hold on, the alien comes too? Oh, I want one! And Marty, take Ryland's helmet off and there's a tiny wrench on his back! But wait, there's more! Penny, does this thing actually move? It does. New Elementary's review calls the centrifuge a fantastic mechanism. Gears put the ship into its spin mode from the movie.

Oh, picture them unwrapping it, building it, then turning those gears for the first time. Okay, Sunny, here's the catch. The listing says ages 18 and up, so this isn't for young kids. So it's really for grown-up builders? Yep. And that same review says it's a little too much stand and not enough spaceship. Plus, we couldn't confirm the Amazon stars. I don't care, I still love it! Eight point three from me.

Sunny? Seven point eight, because those little figures make me so happy! Six point eight from me, it's a narrow audience. Our After Dark Score is seven point six out of ten, outside the top eight of the 23 toys we've ranked. If they love this story and build lego, buy it.
