The latest LEGO® Ideas set has been revealed today, the Tales of the Space set was chosen through the LEGO Ideas Out of This World challenge. Fan designer Jan Woźnica’s design was inspired by the minimalistic designs of classic 80s sci-fi posters and book covers. The final design is very similar to what Jan created but expands the set to include a fourth design. Each of the postcard-sized scenes can be connected together, displayed on a shelf or even mounted on the wall, you can also tweak the star constellations. The set will be available early for LEGO VIP members from May 5th before going on general release on May 8th.
REACH FOR THE STARS WITH THE NEW LEGO TALES OF THE SPACE AGE
12th April 2023: The LEGO Group unveils a set bound to blast off the shelves – the LEGO Ideas Tales of the Space Age set. Based on minimalistic expression of the romance of the universe, alongside having the same visual style as the classic posters from the 80s, the set colourfully expresses the tales of the space age with a retro graphic made from LEGO bricks.
The four-piece postcard sized set is vibrant and showcases an overarching story of a space shuttle, moon base, black hole, lunar eclipse, different star constellations and more. Additionally, it offers lots of flexibility in how it can be arranged, as each picture is physically independent of the others.
Designed by Poland based, LEGO fan designer Jan Woźnica who is an IT Professional when not building with LEGO bricks. Jan entered the LEGO Ideas ‘Out of This World’ challenge and was inspired by the classic sci-fi posters and book covers when creating this design.
