The LEGO Icons space sets which include reimagined LEGO sets from the past such as the Space Shuttle Discovery and NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander, offer an exciting journey into the history of space exploration for advanced builders as well as past themes which include the Blacktron Cruiser. These sets reimagine older, less detailed LEGO space models with a focus on higher detail and accuracy. The Space Shuttle Discovery set showcases a highly detailed model of the iconic spacecraft, complete with a deployable Hubble Space Telescope while the NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander set meticulously recreates the historic lunar module. Designed for advanced builders, these sets provide a challenging and rewarding experience, reflecting LEGO Icons' commitment to producing highly detailed and sophisticated models.
2021 LEGO Sets
In 2021, LEGO explored digital-physical play with LEGO VIDIYO, a collaboration with Universal Music Group that let users create augmented-reality music videos using minifigures and collectible BeatBits. Although short-lived, the experiment reflected LEGO’s continued pursuit of hybrid play experiences. The LEGO Art series expanded with more display sets inspired by pop culture and design icons, strengthening LEGO’s appeal among adult builders. Established themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic maintained momentum, while LEGO unveiled prototype bricks made from recycled materials—an early step toward fully sustainable production.
