LEGO formalizes a beautiful set that was leaked earlier this month. It’s just lush and makes you want to fall in love. See instead.
LEGO will once again enrich the world of building and space exploration enthusiasts with two impressive new sets: the Artemis Space Launch System and a Milky Way mural, both aimed primarily at adults. After the leak, it’s time to make it official. We know this.
LEGO Artemis, a real beauty
The official release is scheduled for May 18th, with early access for LEGO Insiders members starting on May 15th. The Artemis Space Launch System will be one of the most detailed NASA-inspired models to date. This 3,600-piece kit lets you build the Artemis I rocket and its launch platform. The model is characterized by details such as a retractable catwalk and other features that make it, above all, a collector’s item. This set will be available for $259.99.
On a more artistic note, LEGO also offers a set that allows you to recreate the Milky Way. This 3,091-piece kit offers an immersive building experience that culminates in 3D wall decoration. Builders can assemble five panels, each depicting different astronomical features such as Trappist-1, the Pleiades, the Crab Nebula, and the Pillars of Creation. Each panel comes with an instruction booklet with a QR code that, when scanned, provides access to enriching information and an exclusive soundtrack about the Milky Way.
These two sets aren’t just LEGO; They provide access to astronomy and space, topics that continue to captivate and inspire. The Artemis Space Launch System set enriches LEGO’s collection of space models, which already welcomed the Space Shuttle Discovery in 2021. The Milky Way artwork combines education and decoration, providing a unique and engaging way to explore our galaxy.
