Christopher Nolan’s ‘Interstellar’ Ranger Is Touching Down as an Official LEGO Set
The fan-designed build seats two minifigures inside a fully detailed cabin with a roof that lifts clean off.
Summary
LEGO Ideas has approved a fan-designed Ranger spacecraft from Christopher Nolan’s 'Interstellar,' marking the film’s first official LEGO set
The 561-piece preliminary build recreates Cooper and Dr. Brand’s trip to Miller’s planet, complete with both robot companions
LEGO has yet to lock in the final design, so the details below reflect the fan prototype that earned approval
LEGO has greenlit Minibrick41587’s Interstellar Ranger through its LEGO Ideas program, turning a fan-built model of the film’s landing craft into the first official set tied to Christopher Nolan’s 2014 space epic. The build centers on the moment Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and Dr. Amelia Brand (Anne Hathaway) touch down on Miller’s planet, and while LEGO has not finalized the design, the approved prototype already shows how much detail the fan designer packed into a compact ship.
At 561 pieces, the prototype Ranger is built to be opened up and explored rather than just parked on a shelf. Its cabin is decorated throughout and fits two minifigures, with room left over for either TARS or CASE to ride along. The roof comes away completely to expose the interior, and a hinged rear hatch swings open for loading the crew in from behind.
The figure lineup covers the core landing party, pairing Cooper and Dr. Brand minifigures with brick-built versions of the film’s slab-shaped robots, TARS and CASE. Rounding out the package is a set of accessories meant to equip the astronauts for surveying both livable and dangerous planets, giving the display a ready-made story beyond the ship itself.
Any of those specs could still shift before the set reaches shelves, since LEGO’s own designers rework every approved Ideas model ahead of production. Minibrick41587 first uploaded the Ranger on December 11, 2024, and it moved into formal review in May 2026 after crossing 10,000 supporters.
Stay tuned for the official LEGO set.
