Ask any person the name of a playwright and most of them would say Shakespeare, says Dr. Mario Livio, a senior scientist with the Hubble Space Telescope. Ask them the name of a scientist, most of them would say Einstein. Ask them the name of a telescope – they will say Hubble.
To celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope's longevity in service and the amazing role it has played in determining our place in the cosmos, LEGO is releasing this minifigure scale 11382 Hubble Space Telescope set.
Read on as I take you on a trip through the cosmos as I discuss this incredible set.
Today's random set is 10248 Ferrari F40, released during 2015. It's one of 4 Creator Expert sets produced that year. It contains 1158 pieces, and its retail price was US$99.99 / £74.99, which equates to about US$133 / £101 in today's money.
It's owned by 10,936 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you should find it for sale at Brick Owl, BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $297.80, or eBay.
Today's random figure is sw0843Quarrie, a Star Wars figure that came in one set, 75186 The Arrowhead, released during 2017.
Our members collectively own a total of 3,744 of them. If you'd like to buy one you should find it for sale at Brick Owl or BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $58.70.
Plenty of memorable Star Wars helmets appear throughout the movies, though 75458 Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver Helmet cannot exactly be considered among them! This trooper was only featured in The Mandalorian and Grogu for ten or perhaps twenty seconds, after all.
Nevertheless, this model looks very accurate to the movie and includes some clever techniques, as we have come to expect from the Helmet Collection. Perhaps the quality of the design will overcome the relative obscurity of the subject, in this instance.
LEGO Icons seems to include at least one space-oriented set each year and the latest depicts the famous Hubble Space Telescope! The press release follows:
11382 Hubble Space Telescope
1,252 pieces, rated 18+
$139.99 / £119.99 / €129.99 Available at LEGO.com from 1st August
Explore one of humanity’s greatest scientific achievements with the LEGO Icons Hubble Space Telescope (11382) – a space decor building set for adults. Perfect as a gift idea for astronomy enthusiasts, this detailed replica captures the essence of the legendary observatory that helped reshape our understanding of the cosmos.
Remove the exterior panels to reveal a detailed instrument bay depicting gyroscopes and primary and secondary mirrors. Position the solar arrays and antennas, open the aperture door and display the telescope on its stand, complete with an information plaque. The set also includes an astronaut minifigure for approximate scale representation.
Two years ago, LEGO released 31154 Forest Animals: Red Fox, giving us the option of building from three woodland animals—a fox, a squirrel, and an owl. This year, the theme-within-a-theme continues with 31393 Forest Animals: Grey Wolf, but with a more North American twist—a wolf, a falcon, or a raccoon.
The number of brick-built animals in the Creator range just grows and grows, with some truly excellent models produced lately, and 31393 Forest Animals: Grey Wolf is no exception.
LEGO Pokémon was launched with several large-scale creatures in March and three others have been announced today, plus a Poké Ball set with the first Pokémon minifigures! The press release follows:
LEGO Pokémon continues to evolve with new sets featuring iconic Pokémon alongside LEGO Pokémon minifigures
Today, the LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have revealed five new sets for the LEGO Pokémon range of build and display experiences. All five sets feature iconic Pokémon, with some including highly anticipated LEGO Pokémon minifigures and Pokémon figures.
The assortment features beloved Pokémon including Arcanine, Rayquaza and Munchlax recreated in LEGO brick form, giving builders the opportunity to recreate the action, one brick at a time. Also launching is the new LEGO Pokémon Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball, featuring for the very first time three Pokémon Trainer minifigures and figures for Pikachu and Eevee.

BrickLink has unveiled the next series of changes for its ongoing BrickLink Designer Program (BDP), beginning with the first 2028 submissions this Fall.
After an initial AFOL Designer Program back in 2018, BrickLink, in coordination with their new LEGO stewards, launched the BrickLink Designer Program in 2021.
Originally set as 3 rounds of crowd-funded competition between unselected Ideas sets from the 10k club, BDP recommenced in early 2024 with multiple annual curated submissions from fan designers, constrained by a limited palette and strict submission guidelines.
One constant throughout the program has been change itself, with max quantities going from 5,000 to 10,000 to 30,000 to 30,000+, and Rounds changing to Series and now Waves. Additionally, with so many early repeat selectees, the Program also recently instituted new rules restricting designers to one selection per year.
The other constant has been castles, castles, and more castles.
Are these changes what we wanted, needed? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Shunting locomotives are the unseen workhorses of the rail yard. 60509 Harbour Freight Train is a well-designed little engine that fulfils this role well
The original The Lord of the Rings theme ended abruptly in 2013, so many major characters and locations were completely overlooked. However, there are examples where waiting for a massive Icons version, a decade after the original theme, was probably wise.
Minas Tirith is one such location, as the majestic walled city definitely necessitates a large-scale rendition. 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith obliges and I think the model looks spectacular, worthy of its source material and 8278 pieces, which make Minas Tirith the largest LEGO The Lord of the Rings set to date!
