International Rescue is go with Thunderbirds Tracy Island, a brilliant LEGO® Ideas project that captures every fantastic detail of the iconic 1965 British sci-fi show. Creator Tuibricks has recreated the legendary Tracy Island playset that made headlines in the UK for its massive demand and toy of the year awards. This isn't just a model , it's a fully functional secret base ready for awesome rescue missions.

The build showcases clever engineering throughout, from the iconic launch ramp that drops palm trees with the press of a button to the retractable swimming pool hiding Thunderbird 1's hangar beneath. Tuibricks has nailed the scale and functions of the original 2000 playset, using shock absorber pieces for the hangar door mechanism and gravity-operated palm tree drops.

The Round House launches Thunderbird 3 from its center while the Tracy Villa Lounge features light-up portraits of all five Tracy brothers , their eyes brilliantly illuminated just like in the show.

What makes this Thunderbirds Tracy Island project truly perfect is the complete vehicle lineup. Unlike the original toy, this LEGO® version includes brick-built versions of all four Thunderbirds at proper scale. Thunderbird 1 features retractable wings, Thunderbird 2 has a detachable portable hangar, and Thunderbird 4 fits snugly inside for transport missions. The attention to technique and playability mirrors exactly what made the original playset legendary among British kids (and caused many a Christmas morning meltdown when stores sold out!).

Tuibricks clearly poured childhood memories and serious building skills into every stud of this fantastic project. The set includes minifigures for Jeff Tracy, all five Tracy brothers, and the elegant Lady Penelope, plus revolving walls that whisk Scott and Virgil to their vehicles. With 151,000 supporters already backing this mission, Thunderbirds Tracy Island proves that some childhood dreams never lose their power to inspire.
