February 15, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Amazon is having a sale on the LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) set for $20.44. It is currently 18% off the retail price of $24.99. This is a pretty decent deal and is better than the sale from last time which makes it the lowest it’s ever been on Amazon.

The set itself has three vignette builds and four minifigures featuring some important women of NASA including Nancy Grace Roman, Margaret Hamilton, Sally Ride, and Mae Jemison. I’ve already done a review of the set if you want to check it out.

October 18, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 94 Comments

LEGO has officially revealed the LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) set. There were images of it that showed up online a few days ago but we now get the details of it. It will be available starting on November 1 for a retail price of USD/Euro 24.99 and if you’re in New York City on October 28, you can meet the designer of the set Maia Weinstock, aka 20tauri.

Follow in the footsteps of 4 pioneering women of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration—America’s space agency) with this fun and inspiring LEGO® set. Build the Hubble Space Telescope and learn astronomy with the ‘Mother of Hubble’ Nancy Grace Roman. Develop the software for space missions with computer scientist Margaret Hamilton. And launch the space shuttle with Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space, and Mae Jemison, the world’s first woman of color in space. Build, play, learn and one day you too could become a science, technology, engineering or mathematics superstar!

A personal tribute to pioneers

Science editor and writer Maia Weinstock combined three of her personal passions in designing the Women of NASA set for LEGO® Ideas: space exploration, the history of women in science and engineering, and LEGO building.

“I thought people might like to build their own display featuring minifigures of accomplished women in the STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] professions. For the vignettes, I wanted to contextualize each person in terms of her contribution to NASA history.”

“I was absolutely elated when the project reached 10,000 supporters!

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA December Release Date Revealed?

July 17, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Back in February, it was announced that the Women of NASA project was approved to be the next LEGO Ideas set and it looks like we may have a release date for it. During Japan Brickfest, there was a presentation from the LEGO Community Engagement Team and during the talk, some of the latest LEGO Ideas sets including the Saturn V, Old Fishing Store, and Women of NASA were shown off. It also showed the release dates of the sets and the Women of NASA is slated to be coming December 1.

Of course, anything can change and that date could be pushed back so until LEGO officially announces the set, I wouldn’t confirm it just yet. We’re also still waiting for the results of the Third 2016 Review Stage which should be announced any time now as they were close to wrapping it up in their last update.
