As we all know by now, the availability of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) has been sporadic since its release since June. We’ve seen spurts of it going back on Shop@Home and on Amazon then going temporarily out of stock again shortly after. Back in July, there was an update saying that production would run through 2018 so we shouldn’t worry that much.

A month goes by and there’s now a new rumor going around that it has been retired from production. Hasan Jensen from the LEGO Ideas team, this time on the LEGO Ambassador Network, has reiterated that,

The LEGO Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set has NOT been retired and will not be retiring anytime soon either, as we wish to offer the chance for many more fans to get the opportunity to purchase a copy of the set.

This is another reassurance for fans who still want to pick up the set and just be patient on it as I’m sure LEGO is frantically trying to produce more as we speak. I feel that LEGO has learned its lesson on producing limited quantity sets such as the NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104) and the Research Institute (21110) as this set is equally, if not more, popular than the previous ones. You can check out Hasan’s full statement below and I’ll update if the Saturn V is back in stock, even for a short time.

It has come to our attention that rumours have again surfaced claiming that

The new LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) is a very hot commodity at the moment and you’ll be lucky if you are able to find it available in stores. It’s so sought after at this time that LEGO Shop@Home has it out of stock for the time being with no estimated return date. Other retailers like Barnes and Noble may have it but your mileage may vary. Fans who are desperate for the set have resorted going to the secondary market however I would advise not going that route.

I believe LEGO has learned from the past in releasing limited sets, like the Research Institute (21110), especially for a theme like LEGO Ideas which has fans from all over, even those who are not traditional LEGO fans. In a recent post on Reddit, a user has gotten confirmation from LEGO that production of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) will continue production for at least through 2018. This isn’t shocking news but it does reassure people that there will be more of the sets coming.

The moral of the story is to be patient and don’t pay scalper prices for something that will be coming back in the near future.
