LEGO approves Interstellar, cork carving and windmill Ideas sets
The Interstellar concept builds the Ranger in 561 pieces with TARS and CASE, while two more projects joined the Ideas Parking Lot.
LEGO has approved three fan-submitted LEGO Ideas projects for release as official sets, according to gamerant.com. The approved concepts are an Interstellar build, a Chinese Cork Carving Art diorama and a Tulip Field Windmill.
The Interstellar concept recreates the Ranger craft in 561 pieces and includes buildable TARS and CASE figures alongside minifigures of Cooper and Dr. Brand. The Chinese Cork Carving Art project, submitted at 1,273 pieces, depicts a traditional Chinese cork diorama of a house and garden, while the Tulip Field Windmill design centres on a tall rotating windmill surrounded by a tulip field inspired by the Netherlands.
LEGO has not said when the three sets will go on sale, and the final designs may differ from the concepts that were approved.
Two more projects enter the Parking Lot
Alongside the approvals, two more Ideas sets were added to the LEGO Parking Lot: one inspired by The Fifth Element and a Plants vs. Zombies Peashooter set. Seven sets are now in the Parking Lot, a group that also includes Hollow Knight, Bob's Burgers and Naruto projects.
The Interstellar project was first uploaded to LEGO Ideas in December 2024, the Tulip Field Windmill followed in October 2025 and the Chinese Cork Carving Art project in December 2025. Of 97 LEGO Ideas projects submitted for review this year, three have been approved. The 2014 film Interstellar was directed by Christopher Nolan and starred Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway.
