You might remember that when the #10283 LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery was released last year, it was mentioned that LEGO VIP members will also be able to purchase the exclusive Ulysses Space Probe for 1,800 VIP Points. In real life, the Ulysses Space Probe was deployed by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990 on a mission to scan the Sun, so the two sets went perfectly together.
Unfortunately, due to overwhelming demand and some glitches and delays, many LEGO fans missed out on the Ulysses Space Probe special. To appease fans, LEGO is re-releasing this highly desirable set in limited quantities. It will be available starting tomorrow, May 17th at the LEGO VIP Center. Please note that due to the limited number of sets, if you already got one last year you will not be able to redeem points for it this time.
If you do purchase the set with your VIP Points, you’ll get a promotional code for the reward, which you can redeem with your next purchase at the Online LEGO Shop. The code is valid for 60 days and must be entered during checkout in the field labeled “Enter Promo Code”. You can only use one promotional code per order. This VIP promotion is subject to availability and only one offer while supplies last.
It is important to note that this re-launch will also be extremely limited. Please set your alarm if this is a reward you are interested in having the opportunity to claim. Here are the times when the promotion will go live per region:
- Australia & New Zealand: May 17th, 9:00 AM AEST / 11:00 AM NZST
- Korea: May 17th, 9:00 AM KST
- Europe: May 17th, 9:00 AM CEST / 8:00 AM BST
- United States & Canada: May 17th, 9:00 AM EDT
For those of you who have been looking forward to this set, I hope that you will be able to get it this time around. And if you don’t have it already, you may also want to pick up the #10283 LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery at the LEGO Creator Expert section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The LEGO Group and The Rolling Stones recently announced their collaboration to release the famous tongue logo of the band in the #31206 LEGO Art The Rolling Stones set to commemorate the band’s 60th anniversary. Below are the details.
The LEGO Group brings a rock ‘n’ roll image to life in brick form. The bright red lips and tongue known worldwide as the logo for The Rolling Stones will thrill adult fans looking to combine their passion for the band’s music and LEGO bricks.
The logo, first seen on the Stones’ Sticky Fingers album 50 years ago, is a 1,998-piece tribute to their 60 years as one of the most legendary rock bands of all time. It is the first organically shaped set from LEGO Art and fans will be delighted to know that the LEGO designers included a hidden surprise.
While assembling the bold, colorful lips that measure over 22 in. (57 cm) high and 18.5 in. (47 cm) wide, fans can enjoy an accompanying soundtrack with almost an hour of tailor-made content, including an exclusive interview with John Pasche, the graphic designer who created the tongue logo for The Rolling Stones back in 1970.
“Who would have believed, 50 odd years ago… that design would be made into a LEGO piece. Wow!” says John, after seeing the LEGO Art set for the first time.
“Since the tongue logo is one of the most recognized logos, our biggest challenge was to figure out how we could get the LEGO Art design as close to the original as possible. Previous sets have been created with 1×1 round LEGO tiles as a mosaic, but this time, in the spirit of being more Rock ‘n’ Roll, we have used the full spectrum of LEGO bricks to capture the organic curves that John created. Hearing his reaction to our final design makes me so happy!” says Fiorella Groves, Design Manager at the LEGO Group.
The #31206 LEGO Art The Rolling Stones set will be available from June 1st from official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. The price is $149.99. For more information on this set, and to check out the other LEGO mosaic sets, visit the LEGO Art section of the Online LEGO Shop.
