Space. For those of us on Earth, it’s a place of wonder. Scientists estimate we’ve only explored 4% of the universe so far. And only 646 people out of the billions on Earth have seen space in person—a staggering number. But that doesn’t mean humans aren’t eager to discover new wonders in the cosmos. To unlock the 96% of the universe we haven’t discovered yet, LEGO has committed to highlighting space’s splendor in its new 2024 releases and sets. From letting creators build the Milky Way to bringing children’s spacecraft visions to life (which you can see at the LEGO booth), LEGO has paired the ingenuity and exploratory nature inherent in its offerings with a mission to encourage a love of space in children and beyond. Blasting this partnership to new heights is LEGO’s space-themed booth at SDCC 2024. Please join us for an exclusive walkthrough (or is that “floatthrough”) of LEGO’s cosmically cool creation, Space Station 8R1CK5.

We Invite You Into Orbit: Tour LEGO’s SDCC 2024 Booth, Space Station 8R1CK5, with Our Exclusive Walkthrough
The final frontier. The galaxy far, far away… To infinity and beyond! Space has been the backdrop of many nerdy adventures, and now, thanks to LEGO, it’s on its way to San Diego Comic-Con, the ultimate fannish destination. At LEGO’s San Diego Comic-Con 2024 booth (booth #2829), fans will be welcomed to Space Station 8R1CK5. LEGO has had many incredible booths at SDCC before, filled with awe-inspiring LEGO-built figures, creative activations, and more. But LEGO’s 2024 SDCC booth is one of the most immersive and the most meaningful to date. Stepping into LEGO’s Space Station 8R1CK5 booth will allow visitors to imagine they’re blasting off into space, all with the very special cosmic touch of LEGO magic.

At Nerdist, it’s our particular delight to help reveal LEGO’s San Diego Comic-Con 2024 booth with a very special booth tour and walkthrough of the space installation. And we invite all the LEGO fans out there in the universe to join us. We say “LEGO fans in the universe” because LEGO fans are on Earth, in space via our terrestrial astronauts, but also (we bet) in parts of the cosmos still unknown. That’s right, we’re saying aliens love LEGOs.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, the LEGO Group’s Space Station 8R1CK5 will create an interstellar booth experience, which will also feature first-look product reveals from beloved properties and a plethora of interactive elements. In LEGO’s SDCC booth, booth #2829, the wonder of space exploration will meet the pure joy of building with LEGO bricks. (Another wonderful kind of exploration.) As fans float through the booth, they can expect cosmic experiences, out-of-this-world photo opportunities, exclusive surprises, and more. Space Station 8R1CK5 will land at SDCC from Thursday, July 25, through Sunday, July 29.
Beth McKenna, Head of U.S. Marketing at the LEGO Group, shares, “After over 20 years of showcasing at San Diego Comic-Con, we wanted to wowfans yet again and worked hard to create a brand-new experience that offers something for everyone. Space is an endless playground for imagination and storytelling; we are hoping to capture that playground spirit right here at Space Station 8R1CK5.”

Some of the activities you’ll find in the solar system of LEGO’s 2024 SDCC booth include:
- An immersive space station experience that features beloved properties, interactive fun, and virtual elements.
- Among other adventures, you can travel to a galaxy far, far away at the LEGO Star Wars™ display, have a close encounter with specimens from different universes with LEGO IP products, or even just watch the time float by from one of the space windows and content screens!
- Space Station 8R1CK5 will feature a build-your-own LEGO rocket experience. In this experience, guests can design and build their own space creation using LEGO bricks. Once complete, guests can set their craft in orbit by placing it in front of a special LED screen backdrop. Your rockets will literally take flight before your eyes.

Of course, space exploration is its own reward. But to add a little bit of extra incentive to head to space, LEGO will be offering exclusive embroidered patches to commemorate the builds of every astronaut-in-training. LEGO shares that “Every astronaut who travels to Space Station 8R1CK5 and completes the rocket build experience will receive a San Diego Comic-Con mission patch.” And who among us does not want an exclusive patch for our collection?

A Journey of Discovery: The Beautiful Connection Between LEGO and Space
![LEGO's SDCC 2024 Booth Invites You to Blast Off Into Space---Our Exclusive Booth Walkthrough_1](https://legendary-digital-network-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/24172806/LEGO-SDCC-10.jpg)
A study by the LEGO Group finds that 86% of children are interested in finding new planets, stars, and galaxies, and 77% want to visit space. Additionally, a majority of children believe there are aliens in space, and 64% want to meet one. It’s this excitement and energy that will allow us to continue exploring space and its wonderful mysteries, and it’s this eagerness that LEGO wants to help bolster with its commitment to making space accessible. Today, children will step into LEGO’s immersive SDCC space-themed booth, and hopefully, tomorrow, they will blast off to explore our next new frontier.
While not everyone will be able to go to space, every single one of us can open a box of LEGOs and feel a sense of adventure and discovery beneath our fingers. LEGO is all about creating and discovering, taking the smallest of component parts and turning them into something much greater. Snapping those bricks together is one small step for our LEGO build and one giant step for our imaginations. Through its space sets, LEGO lets us take off on new galactic adventures every day.
So far in 2024, LEGO has helped children, adults, and more connect with their love of space. This has happened in small ways, like the release of new space-themed sets, and big ways, like helping to inspire the way astronauts are building shelters on the moon. We can’t wait to see what (inter)stellar surprises LEGO will dream of next!
