The universe of gaming just got a little more epic as LEGO announced the winners of its First 2026 Review Stage. Among the winning designs, eagerly awaited by fans, is a blockbuster set based on Christopher Nolan's intergalactic masterpiece, Interstellar! Fan designer Minibrick41587's vision comes to life with a minifigure-studded rendition of the iconic Ranger spacecraft, featuring characters Cooper (played by Matthew McConaughey) and Dr. Brand (Anne Hathaway), alongside robot companions TARS and CASE. Despite initial mixed reactions after its 2014 release, Interstellar's enduring allure among critics and fans has been on the rise, making this LEGO set an exciting testament to its growing popularity. Two other sets, Tulip Field Windmill and Chinese Cork Carving Art, also secured official releases during this review stage. As for pricing and release dates, LEGO is keeping us in suspense for now. Meanwhile, two more sets – The 5th Element and Peashooter – have been placed in the Parking Lot, awaiting a final decision. Other sets currently in limbo include the recently approved Daft Punk set, which spent some time in the Parking Lot before its triumphant release. With only one more set scheduled for this year (LEGO Godzilla on Black Friday), fans can look forward to a plethora of new releases starting January 2027 – stay tuned for updates! Chris Reed, senior commerce editor and deals expert at IGN, is the man behind IGN's LEGO coverage and the upcoming release dates articles for video games, LEGO sets, and 4K Blu-rays. You can catch him on Bluesky!
