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
In 2008, LEGO celebrated two major milestones—the 30th anniversary of the Minifigure and the 50th anniversary of the LEGO Brick—marking half a century of creativity, innovation, and expansion. This year also saw the launch of LEGO Cuusoo, an early version of what would eventually become LEGO Ideas, allowing fans to submit and vote on set concepts for potential production. This initiative paved the way for some of LEGO’s most collectible and fan-driven releases in the years to come.
