Hubble Space Telescope Reviews
Brickset
“There is an incredible amount of detail inside this model to reflect the various scientific equipment packs found in the HST. I really like the fact that the Primary Mirror 6x6 transparent clear dish has been installed upside down as an Easter Egg in reference to the HST's... More Primary Mirror that was precisely ground to the wrong focal length more than a decade before the HST was launched into space.”

Brick Fanatics
“As far as the build in 11382 Hubble Space Telescope goes, it is just as detailed as you would expect from a set for £119.99 / $139.99 / €129.99. The exterior may look decidedly too grey, but it’s accurate to the telescope's design, with some greebling and golden touches to... More round it out. Admittedly, an all-shining silver exterior would have been ideal, but too unrealistic to cover the full outside without drastically driving up the price.”
The Rambling Brick
“This model is the largest version of the Hubble to be produced to date, having been included otherwise in two models of the Space Shuttle Discovery (7470 and 10483), as well as the LEGO IDEAS Women of NASA, with a minifigure of Nancy Roman who was part of the team that... More lobbied for the Hubble Space Telescope’s development.”
