For a limited time, Amazon has a deal where you can get $20 in bonus Amazon credit when you buy two select LEGO sets. Most of the eligible LEGO sets are for younger builders ages 10 and up. However, there are two sets that appeal to adult tinkerers: the recently released LEGO Disney & Pixar WALL-E & EVE set (43279) and the LEGO Technic Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit set (42179). Combining these two sets will get your order total over $100, which qualifies you for the $20 Amazon credit. Better yet, the Planet Earth and Moon set is on sale; it's only $1 more than last year's Black Friday price.
The Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit 42179 set is comprised of 526 pieces. Although it's marketed for builders ages 10 and up, adults will find plenty of reasons to enjoy this set as well. This is easily one of the more interactive sets that LEGO offers at its price point. Once you've finished the mechanical model, you can operate a crank handle to observe the synchronous movements of (1) the Earth's rotation, (2) the sun's rotation, (3) the moon's orbit around the Earth, and (4) the Earth's orbit around the sun. Not only is it cool to watch, it's also a great learning tool for both kids and adults.
