Buying guide
How to Choose a Space Station Model Kit
Choose the ISS or an imagined station
Pick the CaDA International Space Station or LEGO Ideas International Space Station if you want to build the station that orbits Earth. LEGO City lunar stations are playsets with a different subject.
Decide between display and play
Look for a stand or base if you want to keep the model on a shelf. For play, the LEGO City Modular Space Station 60433 has pods and spacecraft you can rearrange.
Match the build to the builder
The CaDA International Space Station uses 188 bricks. The MAKEASY Celestigon Station asks you to assemble and align a moving mechanism, so allow more time for the build.
Measure space for panels and pods
Check the finished width and depth as well as the height. Panels can extend well beyond the stand, and docking pods may need more room when you move them around.
Check the contents and condition
The LEGO Ideas International Space Station is retired. When comparing listings, check whether the set is sealed or used and whether the stand, figures and small spacecraft are included.
