Reuse your old LEGO^® bricks to find and build new creations

The year is 2020, the world is in lockdown. I am living alone and seperated from family and friends by a state border that up till now had been almost meaningless. Craving something more positive to replace my evening sessions of doom scrolling and refreshing covid stats pages, I see news that the next Animal Crossing game is coming out. That could work, I think as I look up if buying a video game and console counts as an "essential" reason to leave the house.

On 19 December 1972, the last humans walked on the surface of the moon. Since then, talks of bringing humans back have been going on, but so far only robots have been landing on the grey rocks. Until now! The Artemis project, named after the Greek goddess of the moon and twin sister of Apollo, will take us back, and we will bring the tools needed to build a permanent base too.

The Space 2024 project explores new territory, and after reviewing various other themes, today we're entering the Technic universe. My heart jumped when I heard that we were getting Technic Space sets; they're my two childhood favorites combined, how can that not be epic! So far, the Technic range includes 4 sets: A spacecraft, 2 rovers and a unique non-vehicle set, something we rarely see.

LEGO Art has come a long way since the start of the theme. The sets have evolved from mosaics that are basically ‘just adding dots’ into more complicated builds where the designs experiment with shapes and textures. The latest entry is 31212-1 The Milky Way Galaxy, where seemingly random parts create a 3D effect on the painting.

We're back in City Space, here at Rebrickable we just can't get enough of this Space 2024 wave of sets. This time I'm exploring the modular space station with set 60433-1 - Modular Space Station.
