Tales of the Space Age Reviews
Jays Brick Blog
“The set delivers on the unique proposition of Jan’s Ideas submission, which were inspired by a love of sci-fi, classic sci-fi book covers, and 80s posters. The LEGO Tales of the Space Age designs are dreamy and I just love the composition, colors and simplicity of it all.”
“Based on an original LEGO fan submission of Jan Woznica (aka JohnCarter over at LEGO Ideas), the LEGO Ideas Tales of the Space Age was chosen in the First LEGO Ideas 2022 Review Stage, and it’s easy to see why. Jan’s submission perfectly captures the nostalgia and excitement... More of classic sci-fi, while incorporating LEGO’s signature design elements. I’m personally glad and excited to see this set come to life in such a spectacular way.”
