Fans Meet the Lego Tintin Moon Rocket as 21367 Pre-orders Open
Portugal-based fan designer Alexis Dos Santos watched a model he published online become an official product when the lego tintin moon rocket reached approval. The announcement ties a single fan submission to a commercial set that will be available for purchase on 1 April 2026, with pre-orders open now.
Alexis Dos Santos and the 21367 creator journey
Alexis Dos Santos, known on the platform as TKel86, submitted a build that later achieved the milestone required for review and was approved in June 2025. The submission reached the threshold of community support that moves Ideas entries forward, a process that left Dos Santos’ design on track to become set number 21367.
That trajectory from fan designer to official release puts a single name at the center of this story, and it anchors what collectors and builders will receive when the set ships on 1 April 2026.
Lego Tintin Moon Rocket design, parts and minifigures
The Lego Tintin Moon Rocket is a 1, 283-piece model that recreates the red-and-white checkered rocket from the comics, and the package includes multiple character figures. Set 21367 features Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus and the twins Thomson and Thompson, with Snowy introduced as a new element and Tintin supplied with a new wig piece.
Builders will find a curving silhouette and a complex internal structure beneath the exterior, including a small interior at the rocket tip with graphics that show the crew’s first view of Earth. The set is presented as a display-oriented model and was described in promotional material as standing 49cm tall and aimed at adult builders aged 18+.
For those tracking availability, pre-orders are open now and the set is listed for release on 1 April 2026, with a retail price noted at $159. 99 in the announcement materials.
LEGO Ideas, community votes and a rapid approval to shelf path
The 21367 launch is rooted in the LEGO Ideas process: a fan submission by TKel86 achieved the required 10, 000 votes and then went through the Ideas Review Board before approval. That approval, recorded in June 2025, preceded the official product reveal and what commentary called a relatively rapid turnaround for a LEGO Ideas project.
That path—from community-backed submission to an official set—highlights the mechanics that brought this specific build into production and explains why the set includes elements not present in the original submission, such as the new Snowy element and a new Tintin hairpiece.
That said, the human beginning of the story remains the same: one designer’s model winning community support and moving through approval to become 21367.
When pre-orders begin, builders and Tintin readers will be able to buy the set ahead of the confirmed release on 1 April 2026. Alexis Dos Santos’ project has reached retail shelves, and the next concrete milestone for collectors and builders is that release date, when the physical product joins private collections.
