Siroco Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Set number: 21367 Name: Tintin’s Moon Rocket Theme: Ideas Pieces: 1283 Dimensions: unknown Minifigures: unknown Price: $159.99/€159,99 in LEGO Shop Release date: April 1, 2026 Recommended age: 18+ I must have it! My most wanted dream lego set. Quote
Red Rackham Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Me too, definitely, I'm a huge Tintin fan. A lot would have to happen for that not to come into the house. Quote
mcbbvb Posted March 11 Posted March 11 The rocket looks great! Minifigures as well even though I preferred them in their normal clothing. Quote
brimbolet Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Oh my favorite set of the year so far! Looks absolutely fantastic, the shape and size is spot on. Does it have an interior? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Awesome model and instantly recognisable minifigs!! So cool to see the entire core cast here with their typical expressions Kinda weird though that the first (and perhaps only) Tintin minifigs don‘t have their usual iconic attire, but what can you do when the set itself is a rocket And the new dog piece is amazing!

Is it certain that we wont have both versions of the minifigs? And Milou/Snowy doesn't have a helmet?!? Edited March 11 by Siroco Quote

While two versions of the same character being included in a set is not unheard of, there‘s no way we get two versions each of the six characters here. Granted, they could alternatively provide swappable torsi and legs, but that would still require two pieces for Snowy. Also, wouldn‘t they advertise that on the box? Quote
Chocolate Frog Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Wonder if there’ll be a GWP? It should be the jeep from Destination Moon. If this does well the possibilities are endless. Marlinspike, the shark submarine, the seaplane and meteorite from shooting star, the unicorn, a CMF series, the moon tank, the black island… Quote

So being we have homework to do, find minifig parts to recreate the regular outfits! Quote
Siroco Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 For starters: Headgear for Dupond et Dupont Bowler hat Haddock headgear Captain hat Haddock, Dupond et Dupont legs Black legs Dupond et Dupont torso Black suit Tournesol legs Green legs Quote
Siroco Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 And here it is! Tintin Moon Rocket 21367 Almost no interior... Quote
Siroco Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 Its a beautiful rocket, smooth shape, must have been hard to design with lego pieces. At this scale there was no possibility of elaborated interiors. My heart is divided, its a display set, with no play features whatsoever, and I don't care for display sets, lego is for play! But its Tintin and its Lego, my two childhood loves. Must think better Quote
TeufelHund Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I'm not a big fan of that particular Tintin storyline but the rocket is kind of iconic. Would probably have bought it if the minifigs were in their normal getup instead of spacesuits. Also how is Snowy supposed to survive on the Lunar surface without a helmet? Quote

It‘s one of the few Tintin stories I‘ve never read or seen, but not because I actively avoided it, just never happened to encounter it Funny to think the two comic volumes came out more than a decade before the actual moon landing! Kinda funny they created a new hairpiece for Tintin since they already had one that could‘ve worked, namely the Birthday Boy‘s from CMF S18. Back when that series came out, I immediately thought of Tintin, but the new piece is actually more accurate ^^ Quote
Oky Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Great set, even if overpriced (as many sets are these days), especially considering that it’s missing the launch ramp from the original project, Snowy’s helmet, the standard outfits, most of the interior, etc. Thankfully the standard outfits aren’t difficult to create using existing parts. Definitely wanna get it once there is a discount. 9 hours ago, Siroco said: Its a beautiful rocket, smooth shape, must have been hard to design with lego pieces.

But its Tintin and its Lego, my two childhood loves. Must think better As you said yourself, the complex, accurate shaping (which the IP owners insisted on apparently) doesn’t allow for much interior at this scale. I think we should be glad there is interior at all. 19 minutes ago, BrickBob Studpants said: It‘s one of the few Tintin stories I‘ve never read or seen, but not because I actively avoided it, just never happened to encounter it Funny to think the two comic volumes came out more than a decade before the actual moon landing! You can definitely tell that the story was written before the moon landing since it’s apparent that people didn’t really know how space travel actually worked back then. It’s fascinating to read now how they imagined it. Quote
Siroco Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 I guess Milou/Snowy head doesn't fit inside a helmet, otherwise we could bricklink a helmet for it, and unlike the other minifs we can't create is original outfit. Quote
Oky Posted March 13 Posted March 13 That is true. I guess we’ll have to make do with a generic terrier as before. There is also a chance that his head is removable like Scooby’s, so maybe you could also make a brick-built body for him. Quote

Well, there goes the brick-built body idea. 26 minutes ago, Siroco said: These are all new parts, was it dificult to make a Milou that could wear the helmet AND the backpack? The thing is, even if they made it to fit the helmet, it would be much too big for him as you can see in that review, so they would’ve had to create a new mold for his helmet. LEGO simply cheaper out here. Although if they did make another new mold for the set, I’d rather have an out-of-suit Snowy. Quote
Red Rackham Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Great article on Brickset. Since I never expected a Tintin set, this is obviously a childhood dream come true. And I can totally see why they chose the rocket (over other possibilities, like the unicorn from the comic *Le Secret de La Licorne*). Especially with its two-tone color scheme and shape, it’s incredibly recognizable. I can imagine that adults will also pick this up for their kids—kids who know the comics from their own childhood, even if their own children don’t necessarily have that connection to the comics. And yeah… of course, we would have liked to see the heroes in their regular clothes, but hey, we actually have minifigures included. I wouldn’t have expected that at all when the set was announced.
