Danish brick brand LEGO announced the results of its first 2026 LEGO Ideas review on November 9, 2026, confirming that Minibrick41587's Interstellar project featuring the Ranger spacecraft has been approved for development as an official set. Inspired by Christopher Nolan's sci-fi classic, the fan-designed model recreates the Ranger alongside Cooper, Dr. Amelia Brand, and the robots TARS and CASE. The original submission uses 561 pieces, while pricing, final specifications, and a release date have yet to be announced.
Following the previously released "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" LEGO set, LEGO Ideas is bringing another sci-fi favorite into the brick-built world with the Interstellar Ranger spacecraft. The original design pairs a white fuselage with a black cockpit, capturing the compact spacecraft used for planetary exploration and landing missions in the film. Along with astronaut minifigures of Cooper and Dr. Brand, the project includes blocky brick-built versions of TARS and CASE. The cabin roof opens to reveal cockpit seating and storage space for the robots, while the rear hatch also swings open so the entire exploration team can board the Ranger and head out on a mission.
An earlier version of the project surpassed 10,000 supporters in 2024 but failed to make it through the review process. After returning for another shot, the build has finally received LEGO's official green light. A total of 97 fan creations qualified for the first 2026 review, but only "Interstellar" and "Tulip Field Windmill", along with "Chinese Cork Carving Art", were approved for production. The Ranger shown so far is still the fan-designed concept, however, and LEGO's design team may revise its appearance, piece count, and accessories before release. Fans will have to wait for future updates to see what the final set looks like.
