SPACESHIP!
With the Galaxy Explorer, says Psiaki, the goal was to trigger nostalgia by building the ship youyou remember — not the one that actually existed. Most people have only ever seen photos of the original 1979 set, and even those kids who’ve held one aren’t kids anymore. Here’s what he told me:
How much bigger, though? When Psiaki realized he was 50 percent taller than his own seven-year-old son, that became the reference point. The new 1,246-piece Galaxy Explorer is roughly 50 percent larger in every dimension — “engines that are two modules around, we make them three modules, the width of the wings gets wider, the thickness of the plate,” and anything else designers could stretch.
In the end, the Galaxy Explorer mostly became an upscaled version of the original, “so we’re almost imagining like we’re looking at the Galaxy Explorer with a high-definition camera.” They kept it sharp and angular, with as few newfangled arched pieces as they could manage. I think it looks incredible, particularly side by side with pictures of the original., and it doesn’t have a name. “Internally we like to joke that it’s the Cosmobot because it’s definitely not an astromech.
Psiaki says the classic helmet lets Lego fit four minifigs in the cockpit, which didn’t quite work with a modernized one they tested.Photo: Lego
