Lego Ideas is blasting off next month with Tintin Moon Rocket
Lego have announced that they are bringing another Lego Ideas set to fans this April 1st and no, it is not joke. The set chosen this time is Tintin Moon Rocket, which is inspired by the 1954 book Explorers on the Moon.
The Tintin Moon Rocket was submitted by Portugal-based Fan Designer Alexis Dos Santos, via the LEGO Ideas programme. Once designed and published on the platform, it achieved the landmark 10,000 vote status and following the rigorous selection process by the LEGO Ideas Review Board, was approved to be made into an official LEGO set.
“Creating the Tintin Moon Rocket has been an incredible journey. I wanted to capture the spirit of Tintin’s iconic rocket in a way that celebrates both its engineering elegance and its place in pop culture. Recreating its curvature and connecting the three floors pushed my creativity, and seeing it finally come together with all the minifigures in their space suits has been incredibly rewarding. I hope the build sparks the same sense of imagination and adventure that inspired me from the very beginning.”
The set includes six classic Tintin characters - Tintin, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, Thomson and Thompson, all dressed in detailed space suits with helmets and oxygen tank accessories - plus a Snowy figure. Builders can relive an iconic moment from Explorers on the Moon by removing a panel at the top of the rocket to reveal a hidden control room, allowing a minifigure to be placed inside for the breathtaking first view of Earth from space.
As always, the details for the set are below, with pre-orders available now direct from Lego and it will be available on April 1st.
