After being proposed via the LEGO Ideas portal, this new NASA SR 71 BLACKBIRD Kit has been fully supported and should see an official release!
If you didn’t already know, LEGO puts up fan-created kits on their Ideas site for builders to vote on. This gives the kits an opportunity to garner support from the community and the best kits can then be created as official products! However, even if you see something get to 10,000 votes, that doesn’t 100% guarantee it. So while the chances are super high, it is possible this doesn’t get a real kit, so don’t get too excited quite yet.
This NASA kit project can be found there, but we will also cover some of the details below.
LEGO Ideas NASA SR 71 BLACKBIRD Fully Supported!
This kit was created by BrickerBeard and is just so awesome! It would be a super fun kit to build and we hope it fully gets the green light as the space and NASA kits are usually insanely fun.
The set comes in at 1650 pieces so there will be plenty to keep you occupied. Let’s hear what they have to say about the set:
- The minifigures chosen represent the pilot Ed Schneider and the navigator Marta Bohn-Meyer.
- This is the version sold to NASA for supersonic suborbital flight tests.
- Composed of 1650 pieces measures approximately 100×50 studs
While this kit is really sweet, we can’t score it quite yet, so if you need a space LEGO kit to hold you over, check out a great kit you can score below.
