A fun new set that LEGO announced earlier this week is the #21367 LEGO Ideas Tintin Moon Rocket. The original idea for the set was submitted by Portugal-based LEGO fan Alexis Dos Santos (LEGO Ideas username: TKel86), via the LEGO Ideas program. Once designed and published on the platform, it achieved the landmark 10,000 vote status, and following the rigorous selection process by the LEGO Ideas review board, was approved to be made into an official LEGO set. Below are the details.
Blast off into comic book history with the #21367 LEGO Ideas Tintin Moon Rocket, a detailed display model inspired by the classic Tintin comic books Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon.
Designed for adults aged 18+, the 1,283-piece set recreates the instantly recognizable red-and-white chequered Moon Rocket. Standing at 49cm tall, it is crafted as a display-ready piece that brings Tintin’s legendary journey from page to brick-built reality. The rocket measures over 19.5 in. (49 cm) high, 8 in. (20 cm) long, and 9 in. (23 cm) wide.
The set includes six classic Tintin characters – Tintin, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, Thomson, and Thompson, all dressed in detailed space suits with helmets and oxygen tank accessories – plus a Snowy figure. Builders can relive an iconic moment from Explorers on the Moon by removing a panel at the top of the rocket to reveal a hidden control room, allowing a minifigure to be placed inside for the breathtaking first view of Earth from space.
“Creating the Tintin Moon Rocket has been an incredible journey,” said Alexis Dos Santos. “I wanted to capture the spirit of Tintin’s iconic rocket in a way that celebrates both its engineering elegance and its place in pop culture. Recreating its curvature and connecting the three floors pushed my creativity, and seeing it finally come together with all the minifigures in their space suits has been incredibly rewarding. I hope the build sparks the same sense of imagination and adventure that inspired me from the very beginning.”
The #21367 LEGO Ideas Tintin Moon Rocket is going to be available starting on April 1st, but if you would like to get it as soon as possible, you can already pre-order it at the Online LEGO Shop. Prices are as follows: £139.99 / €159.99 / $159.99. For more information, pictures, and to pre-order, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
