Overview
- LEGO approved the fan-created Ranger design for development on Nov. 9, 2026, moving the project from the Ideas review into company-led product work.
- The submitted model is described as a 561-piece build that includes minifigures of Cooper and Dr. Amelia Brand plus brick-built TARS and CASE, though those counts and details are provisional.
- The project reached the LEGO Ideas threshold of 10,000 supporters and then passed a formal review by LEGO designers and product managers who judged fit, playability and safety.
- The creator, Minibrick41587, first submitted a Ranger design in December 2024 that was rejected, resubmitted an updated version that hit the support target in February 2026, and previously saw another fan design become the official Polaroid SX-70 set.
- The Ranger was one of three winners in the first 2026 LEGO Ideas review, and LEGO says the set will be reworked before retail release so price, final piece count and release date remain unconfirmed.
