The next Lego set to celebrate humanity's fascination with the cosmos uses the toy bricks to capture the visual style that inspired exploration.
"Tales of the Space Age," Lego Ideas set no. 21340, was announced Wednesday (April 12), on the 62nd anniversary of the first human spaceflight and 42 years after the first space shuttle launch. The simple but engaging set of four postcard-size space artworks is scheduled to go on sale to Lego VIP members on May 5 and for all at Lego Stores and on the company's online shop on May 8 for $49.99 (£44.99 or €49.99, though Euro prices will vary by country).
