LEGO has announced the winners of the LEGO Ideas First 2026 Review Stage, approving fan-designed sets for official release. Among them is a set based on Christopher Nolan's movie Interstellar, submitted by fan designer Minibrick41587. The other two approved sets are Tulip Field Windmill and Chinese Cork Carving Art.
The Interstellar set includes the wedge-shaped Ranger spacecraft from the movie, along with minifigures for the Matthew McConaughey character Cooper and the Anne Hathaway character Dr. Brand. Also included are the robot companions TARS and CASE. LEGO has not shared pricing or an official release date for the set.
During the same review stage, LEGO placed two additional submissions in the Parking Lot: The 5th Element, featuring a flying taxi and a Multi Pass from the movie, and Peashooter, based on a weapon from the video game Plants vs. Zombies. Sets in the Parking Lot "need a little longer to work through the review process."
The approval follows years of fan requests for an Interstellar LEGO set through the LEGO Ideas program. Interstellar was released in 2014 and won Best Visual Effects at the 87th Academy Awards. The set's approval may reflect growing appreciation for the film among fans and critics in recent years.
