More than a decade after Interstellar hit theaters, the film is getting its own LEGO set. The LEGO Ideas competition proves that the best ideas often come from fans. Submitted by Minibrick41587, the Interstellar Ranger gained support from more than 10,000 fans, earning a spot in official review. Approved November 2026, there’s no word on a release date or price.
The set features 561 pieces that build a detailed Ranger, decorated both inside and out. Fans will get minifigures of Joseph Cooper and Dr. Amelia Brand, plus their robotic companions TARS and CASE. Perhaps this will be the first of many Interstellar sets so fans can include Dr. Romilly and Doyle on board.
The interior has room to seat two minifigures alongside either robot, and the roof lifts off for a closer look at the details. The rear hatch opens, and the set comes with accessories for exploring both habitable and hostile worlds.
So how does a fan’s idea end up on store shelves? It starts with a concept. The designer builds the model with real bricks or digital software like LEGO Digital Designer or Studio, then submits it to LEGO Ideas. Many creators test a physical prototype first to check stability, proportions and play features.
This isn’t the first time Minibrick41587 submitted an Interstellar set. In 2025, the user gained support from 10,000 fans for their Endurance set including all four astronauts and robot companions. LEGO unfortunately didn’t approve his third Interstellar submission, but “loved reviewing it.”
Once a project collects 10,000 votes, it moves into official LEGO review. Approval doesn’t mean the set goes straight to the factory as the fan built it. The designer teams up with professional LEGO set designers, who rework the model to meet safety standards and fit piece-count budgets, while making sure it can survive mass production.
Fortunately Minibrick41587 didn’t give up and LEGO is finally bringing Interstellar to the shelves. The ranger is finally coming home, learn more about the project and stay in the loop at LEGO Ideas.
