Great snakes! The beloved Belgian reporter and his faithful companion are finally getting the LEGO® treatment they deserve. Set 21367 Tintin Moon Rocket blasts off on April 1st, 2026, bringing Hergé's iconic spacecraft from "Explorers on the Moon" to brick form with stunning 1,283-piece detail.
This isn't just another rocket build, this is pure comic book magic translated into LEGO® elements. The signature red and white checkered pattern wraps around curves so smooth you'll wonder if these are really plastic bricks. The complex Technic structure hidden inside creates that perfect silhouette fans know and love from the 1954 adventure.
What makes this set truly special? The exclusive minifigure collection featuring Tintin with his iconic blonde quiff (captured in a brand-new wig element), the ever-loyal Snowy as a completely new dog element, the temperamental Captain Haddock, absent-minded Professor Calculus, and the bumbling detective twins Thomson and Thompson in their distinctive orange spacesuits.
Built from tkel86's successful LEGO® Ideas submission, this represents a lightning-fast turnaround from approval to production. The sideways building techniques used for the rocket legs showcase advanced construction methods while maintaining rock-solid stability. Even the tiny interior captures that magical moment when our heroes first glimpse Earth from space.
