Working with the Hong Kong LEGO User Group (HKLUG), LEGO has produced an instruction book and five promotional mini space models that are being offered with purchases of the NASA Apollo Saturn V set at LEGO Stores in Hong Kong.

The models include a spacesuited astronaut, a space shuttle with robotic arm, the Earth with microscale shuttle and satellite, Apollo lunar rover and Hubble Space Telescope. The Brothers Brick describes:

A big challenge for the builders (but probably the funnest part) was to constrain their designs to readily available Pick-a-Brick wall elements, so that buyers of the Saturn V and this instruction guide could easily build their free model by heading to the PAB wall – which LEGO made sure was stacked up with the right parts.
