Lego Icons Galaxy Explorer

It’s easy to pinpoint when exactly Lego went from being just a building toy to a toy room staple that would spark imaginations for decades to come. It was in 1978 when the company released its space-themed building sets, showing kids their wildest imaginations could be brought to life through plastic bricks. The most iconic set in that collection was the Galaxy Explorer spaceship, which Lego resurrected, and updated, this year to help celebrate the company’s 90th birthday. The new 1,254-piece Galaxy Explorer shares the retro charms of the original with a blue, gray, and yellow color scheme, more complex features, and those classic astronaut minifigures.
