Exo-Suit Reviews
From Bricks To Bothans
“This set easily gets 5 out of 5 stars. If you’re a Classic Space guy, you have no excuse to not get this set. Even if you’re just a sci-fi fan in general, this build is extremely satisfying.”
Brickset
“In summary, there's no doubt that this is an excellent model, perhaps the best released this year. LEGO has exceeded our expectations in terms of the content of the set which is not something that happens often. We expected the Exo-Suit and a minifig. We are given an... More Exo-Suit, two unique and very desirable minifigs, a turtle and more.”

About Ideas
The LEGO Ideas theme, which started in 2008 as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo, then formally known as LEGO Cuusoo, is based around a website which allows users to submit ideas for LEGO products to be turned into potential sets available commercially. If fellow users in the LEGO Ideas community up vote the project to 10000 then LEGO Group has a committee which votes on whether to build the set and release it. If the project is approved and cleared for production, it is developed and later released as an official set under the "LEGO Ideas" banner and the original designer receives 1% of the royalties and a number of free sets. Typically, a few projects are approved a year and most are rejected due to various restrictions.
