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.

With 14 Star wars helmets released between 2020 and 2025; six marvel masks released between 2020 and 2025 and two Batman Cowls released in 2021, it has been a bit of a drip feed: a couple a year, with a small name plaque. Limited enough to be able to collect them all, and all imminently displayable.

Today, we get our first Helmet from The Lord Of The Rings – the Sauron’s Helmet. The set will released on March 1 and have 538 pieces, and unlike any Helmet series set before, it also comes with a Sauron minfigure. the set is priced at 129.99AUD / 69,99 USD / 74,99 EUR / 64,99 GBP .

LEGO Education promotional image showcasing four problem-solving sets with brightly coloured packaging and sets included.

LEGO® Education has revealed 4 sets designed to encourage creative problem-solving for kids aged 7+. These sets are the first LEGO Education sets to be marketed at the home market, rather than directly to schools.

The box has been cunningly disguised to look like some sort of a board game, with most of the “LEGOness” hidden behind beautiful printed artwork depicting luscious retro-futuristic space-scapes and polar vistas, and a smattering of bricks tucked in for good measure. To say nothing of the Build-Solve-Invent Mantra tucked in the upper right-hand corner.

LEGO Education Moon Mission Science Kit box featuring a space-themed design, suitable for ages 8 and above, containing 519 pieces for two science experiments.
Box of LEGO Education Antarctic Animals Science Kit, containing 461 pieces, featuring illustrations of a whale, a penguin, and education-themed characters.
LEGO Education Mars Mission Science Kit box featuring vibrant graphics, designed for ages 9 and up, containing 933 pieces for four science experiments.
LEGO Education Arctic Animals Science Kit packaging featuring a polar bear, a seal, and a miniature figure, alongside vibrant graphics and details about the kit.

There is, of course, another path to sales success: two of the sets are space-themed and bring us a new range of City-style Space Explorer Minifigures, with an exciting new colour scheme! These figures build on the aesthetic last seen in the LEGO CITY 60446 Galactic Spaceship- itself presenting as an update of vintage space theme FUTURON.

After months of rumor and speculation, LEGO® SMART Play™, an Integrated Smart Brick and Minifigure system has been revealed at the annual Consumer Electronics Show. The first sets to include this technology will be in the LEGO STAR WARS range, and are due for release in March. This Press release has dropped just as I am getting started on a normal work day: I will probably post again about known knowns and known unknowns later in the week. But in short, this is a way to enhance the way trhat kids play with their bricks and Minifigures.

I have always been intrigued by the ways in which LEGO has worked to combine technology with play, from the first ‘Stop signal’ that I owned with my childhood trainset through Life of George, Boost, Vidiyo, and Super Mario. Some have been hits, some misses, but ways of enhancing play are constantly under investigation by the research teams at LEGO.
