Attention, space enthusiasts and Lego lovers! Buckle up because Lego’s got a new ride, and it’s not just your average set of plastic bricks.
Introducing the Space Shuttle Enterprise, a shiny gem that’s ready to launch into your living room! But wait—this isn’t just any shuttle; it’s hitching a ride on the legendary Boeing 747, the same big bird that NASA once used for shuttle tests.
Now, here’s the scoop: while the set is a tad smaller than the 2021 Discovery set, it packs a hefty punch with 2,417 pieces. That’s right, you heard it—enough to keep you busy until the next great space-themed Netflix series drops!
Available for the bargain price of $229.99, the Lego Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is set to take off on May 15 for Lego Insiders, and it will land for everyone else on May 18.
Fun fact: the original Space Shuttle Enterprise, which started its voyage in 1976, was engine-less and wouldn’t exactly be winning any races into orbit. But, just like this Lego replica, it did look pretty snazzy atop that Boeing 747, proving that sometimes, it’s all about the journey rather than the destination. Who needs a heat shield when you have creativity?
So, are you ready to take your bricks into the great unknown? Or will your spacecraft remain grounded—like your New Year’s resolution to hit the gym?
