LEGO announces new NASA Artemis SLS rocket set to lift off (literally!) in 2026

How do you top a highly-detailed scale model of NASA's new moon-bound rocket and its support tower? If you are LEGO, you make it so it can actually lift off.

LEGO's NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket, part of its Technic line of advanced building sets, will land on store shelves for $59.99 on Jan. 1, 2026, and then "blast off" from kitchen tables, office desks and living room floors. The 632-piece set literally climbs skyward, separating from its expendable stages along the way, until the Orion crew spacecraft and its European Service Module top out the motion on their way to the moon — or wherever your imagination carries it.
