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.”

About Ideas

The LEGO Ideas theme, which started in 2008 as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo, then formally known as LEGO Cuusoo, is based around a website which allows users to submit ideas for LEGO products to be turned into potential sets available commercially. If fellow users in the LEGO Ideas community up vote the project to 10000 then LEGO Group has a committee which votes on whether to build the set and release it. If the project is approved and cleared for production, it is developed and later released as an official set under the "LEGO Ideas" banner and the original designer receives 1% of the royalties and a number of free sets. Typically, a few projects are approved a year and most are rejected due to various restrictions.
Summary
Ideas Tales of the Space Age set 21340 was released on April 8, 2023, retailing for $50, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $91, while used sets sell around $76.
