The LEGO Factory theme, active from 2005 to 2008, included the Space subtheme, which featured fan-designed sets. Two notable sets from this subtheme are 10191 Star Justice and 10192 Space Skulls, both released in 2008. The 10191 Star Justice set, designed by LEGO fan Chris Giddens, contains 895 pieces and includes a spaceship, a command center, and various smaller vehicles, all in a blue and white color scheme with six minifigures. The 10192 Space Skulls set, designed by Mark Sandlin, consists of 956 pieces and features a skull-themed spaceship and vehicles in black and red, accompanied by five minifigures. These sets were part of the LEGO Factory's initiative to promote creativity and fan involvement in set design.
2008 LEGO Sets
2008 celebrated two milestones: the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick and the 30th anniversary of the minifigure. LEGO Cuusoo (later LEGO Ideas) launched in Japan, paving the way for fan-designed sets. Indiana Jones joined Star Wars as LEGO’s second Lucasfilm theme, and Speed Racer appeared briefly alongside it. In-house lines included Agents and the debut of LEGO Architecture, aimed at adult collectors. The Green Grocer (10185) further elevated the Modular Buildings line, confirming its status among LEGO’s most prestigious collections.
