Pharrell Williams’ space-themed LEGO set inspires everyone to chase their dream

September 07, 2024

Pharrell Williams is already known for his exploits in the music, fashion and skincare industry. Now the music producer is all set for his LEGO movie titled Piece By Piece produced by the LEGO Group, slated for 11 October release. So how would someone not expect to have a LEGO set for the songwriter? The Danish toy company has been speculated to be working on the LEGO set’s release since last year but plenty more sets pushed the announcement. The LEGO set will now be released on 20^th September for builders.

Entitled Over the Moon, this spaceship LEGO set draws inspiration from the childhood experience of the star. The space-themed set represents the launchpad that shoots him to success and inspires others to live their dream too. According to Pharrell “When I was a child, my perception of reality was based on a 20-mile radius. And at the center of it was Atlantis Apartments. We lived in the crash zone of the Air Force Base, where the Blue Angels would fly all the time.”

Designer: LEGO Group

The 19.5-inch tall space shuttle set comes with an opening cockpit and attachable landing gear to replicate the take-off and touchdown. It has a total of 966 pieces along with 51 different minifigure heads in seven different color tones. The minifigure of the artist along with his wife Helen Lasichanh in titanium space suits and gold-color visors take centerstage. The heads can of course be swapped with the other minifigure heads. The outstanding visual element of the LEGO set is the detachable jet stream which is actually an array of multicolored bricks that mounts on the back of the shuttle. Each of these colored streams is interchangeable, so one can create a unique look every time they put it together.

A third of the bricks are used to build the jet stream which makes it stand out from any other spaceship set. Pharrell’s Over the Moon LEGO set is up for pre-order right now for $110, so fans better watch out.
