City Space brings LEGO City off the planet, with rockets, shuttles, rovers and space stations closer to real space travel than the science fiction of most LEGO space themes. It started in 2011 with a space shuttle and a launch center. The 2019 sets were made with advice from NASA and centred on the exploration of Mars, and the 2022 sets went back to the Moon with a lunar base and rover inspired by NASA's Artemis program. The 2024 sets moved further out, with a modular space station, an interstellar spaceship, mechs and alien life. Many of the larger sets have opening sections and modules that can be rearranged.
2022 LEGO Sets
In 2022, LEGO celebrated its 90th anniversary, marking nearly a century of creativity and innovation. Special tribute sets revived beloved classics like Castle and Space with modern techniques, delighting longtime fans. LEGO Avatar launched alongside the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, bringing Pandora’s world to life in brick form, while the LEGO BrickHeadz line broadened with more licensed characters. Core themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic continued to perform strongly. Sustainability milestones included expanding the use of recycled plastics in elements and packaging, underscoring LEGO’s enduring commitment to environmental responsibility.
