Lego Unveils ‘Project Hail Mary’ Set Coming Soon
Excitement is building as Lego announces its latest set inspired by the upcoming sci-fi film, Project Hail Mary. Set for release on March 1, this unique collection is a tribute to the much-anticipated movie based on Andy Weir’s acclaimed novel.
Lego Reveals the Project Hail Mary Set
The new Lego set features 830 pieces, showcasing a detailed build of the ship named Hail Mary. This vessel represents humanity’s last hope as it embarks on a mission to uncover the mystery behind the mysterious dying stars, including our own sun.
Key Features of the Set
- Buildable Ship: The Hail Mary model can rotate on its display stand, adding an interactive element.
- Centrifugal Gravity System: Includes a moving crew module that simulates the ship’s gravity system.
- Minifigure Edition: Features a minifigure of astronaut Ryland Grace, portrayed by Ryan Gosling.
- Alien Encounter: A small brick-built representation of the alien Rocky is also included.
This new offering comes as a surprise, given Lego’s usually playful licensing choices. However, the company’s longstanding interest in space-themed sets makes the Project Hail Mary collaboration seem fitting.
Release Details
The Project Hail Mary set will be available for preorder now and is priced at $100. Fans and collectors alike can look forward to this innovative blend of storytelling and building when it officially drops in early March.
As anticipation grows for the film’s release, Lego’s engagement with Project Hail Mary highlights the company’s continual evolution and commitment to exciting collaborations. Keep an eye on El-Balad for further updates on upcoming releases and beyond.
