I love a good spaceship. I love LEGO Spaceships more. With the first manned Artemis ship set to fly to the moon any day now [Update: delayed until March 2026] we are entering a new era of manned spaceflight, bound to spark imaginations around the world, looking outward with an enthusiasm unseen since the shuttle program. And in the background, sciece fiction continues to reach for the stars.

Author Andy Weir includes enough plausible science in his work to make you feel that what you are reading isn’t ‘What?’ so much as “When?” The Martian was a compelling story of Survival in a harsh, alien environment. His latest book, 2021’s Project Hail Mary was released to much acclaim and is due for release as a Motion Picture starring Ryan Gosling in March 2024.

Some how, it seems to be inevitable that would be a LEGO Set to go along with it.

Set 11389 LEGO ICONS: Project Hail Mary has 830 pieces and one minifigure. It will go on sale on the first of March 2026, priced at 179.99 AUD/ 99,99 USD / 109,99 EUR / 99,99 GBP.

This set is a microscale model relative to the included minifigure, but appears to have an intriguing mechanism that allows the crew module to seperate from the main craft, as it rotates.

The set also brings us our first ever Ryan Gosling Minifigure, which can be mounted on the base of the stand, or displayed seperately.

This detailed model makes a striking centrepiece for the home or office and a perfect birthday or Christmas gift for sci-fi lovers. Build smarter with the LEGO Builder app – zoom, rotate in 3D, track progress and follow step-by-step digital instructions. Set contains 830 pieces.

I have to admit, I haven’t had too many reasons to actually go to the cinema in real life in recent years, but this film might actually get me out there!

This is certainly not a LEGO original design, with its nostalgic wimsy. It’s not even minfigure scaled, but there is something about this set that has me intrigued. It’s not on the immediate review list, but I might pick it up later in the year. Perhaps I’ll see how invested I feel in the franchise after finishing the book and seeing the movie.
