LEGO has approved a fan-designed Interstellar Ranger for production, making it the first LEGO Interstellar set. The 561-piece build by fan Minibrick41587 comes from LEGO’s Ideas page, where it cleared 10,000 supporters before going into formal review.
Interstellar, Christopher Nolan’s 2014 film, won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It’s an unusual pick for a line that leans on big franchises, and it took persistence. An earlier Ranger by the same creator also reached 10,000 supporters and went through review in 2024, but LEGO passed on it without giving a public reason. In 2025, the creator’s Endurance set hit the same mark and wasn’t approved either. The Gadgeteer reports that this reworked Ranger finally got the yes.
The submitted design stages the Ranger’s shallow-water landing on Miller’s planet, though the water effects in the presentation are for display only. The Ranger has a fully decorated interior and a removable roof, with room for two minifigures alongside TARS or CASE. Nerdist says the set includes minifigures of Joseph Cooper and Dr Amelia Brand, plus the robots TARS and CASE.
The 561-piece count isn’t final. LEGO’s professional designers will rebuild the model to meet safety standards and piece-count budgets, so the prints and details can also change before a box exists.
The Ranger was one of three projects approved in the first LEGO Ideas review of 2026, from 97 fan projects in formal review. Tulip Field Windmill by HisBrickMaterials and Chinese Cork Carving Art by GenericBrix also made it through. MarinBrickDesign’s Korben Dallas taxi from The Fifth Element went to LEGO’s Parking Lot instead.
The fan-designed LEGO Ideas Godzilla set goes on sale in the UAE on 27 November from AED 1,789. LEGO is also running a Marvel and Star Wars crossover challenge where winning builds can become sets. Nolan’s latest, The Odyssey, is in cinemas now.
LEGO hasn’t announced a price or release date. Gizmodo notes that Ideas sets usually take around a year to reach stores, pointing to Godzilla, which LEGO selected in June 2025. Blocks expects the Ranger to launch in late 2027 or 2028 with an 18+ age rating, with the piece count and price to follow closer to release.
