NASA's most famous telescope is getting a detailed LEGO Icons treatment. Confirmed via LEGO's official reveal and reported by Brick Fanatics and PetaPixel, the LEGO Icons Hubble Space Telescope (set #11382) releases August 1, 2026, featuring 1,252 pieces at a retail price of $139.99 USD (£119.99 GBP / €129.99 EUR / $229.99 AUD).

This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.

What's Confirmed About the Hubble Space Telescope Set

LEGO's official reveal, as reported by Brick Fanatics, confirms the following:

  • Release date: August 1, 2026
  • Set number: 11382
  • Piece count: 1,252
  • US price: $139.99
  • Measures 12.5 inches tall, 15 inches long, and 15 inches wide when assembled
  • Features removable exterior panels and a detailed interior with instrument bay, gyroscopes, mirrors, solar arrays, and antennas
  • Includes an information plaque and an astronaut minifigure for scale
  • Display base features images of space captured by the real Hubble Space Telescope
  • Designed for ages 18+

Why the Removable Panels Matter

Rather than a static display-only model, the removable exterior panels let builders show off the telescope's internal instrument bay, gyroscopes, and mirrors, giving the set genuine educational value beyond a typical display piece.

The Real Hubble Imagery Detail

Including a display base featuring actual images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope ties this LEGO set directly to the real spacecraft's scientific legacy, rather than presenting a purely decorative model.

Planning Around the August Release

With a confirmed price and release date, collectors have a clear window to plan a preorder ahead of the August 1 launch alongside other same-day LEGO releases.

For a completed 15-inch build, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case comfortably accommodates the telescope's full wingspan.

For an elevated centerpiece display, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming this is a smaller, simplified telescope model rather than a detailed 1,252-piece build
  • Missing the removable panels that reveal the interior instrument bay
  • Underestimating the display footprint needed at 15 inches wide
  • Confusing this with other LEGO space-themed sets releasing the same day
