Stock Up On LEGO® Creator Expert NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander 10266

Last updated October 11, 2026

With NASA’s Artemis Program Aiming For The Moon, This Retired Set Is A Solid Build And LEGO® Investment

The Artemis missions are NASA’s next set of launches poised to place astronauts on the moon once again. With the LEGO® Artemis SLS set celebrating the program and renewed interest in space exploration, all NASA merch is seeing a boost. This LEGO® Creator Expert (now filed under LEGO® Icons) NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander 10266 retired in late 2023 after a legendary run at a retail price of $99.99. As of October 2026, BrickEconomy values sealed copies at around $120 (roughly $109 to $138) — modest but steady growth. If you snagged multiples at retail, you’re looking at a clean return with a little more room to grow down the line.

What Is Special About The LEGO® Lunar Lander?

Besides being a one-of-a-kind set, this to-scale LEGO® replica has stunning detail and for a space dad, this module is an awesome Father’s Day LEGO® gift. At 1087 pieces, it is a quick afternoon build. It also comes with accurately equipped astronauts with their spacesuits and oxygen packs. It was created for the 50th anniversary of the Lunar Landings and Apollo Missions. It has a display with footprint indents, space within the module for the astronauts, and beautifully gold-plated parts to accentuate the engineering of NASA. If you love NASA builds, the retired LEGO® Saturn V is another one you should know about.

Plus, there are a few newer NASA sets worth parking next to the lander. The LEGO® Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System 10341 runs $269.99 at 3,601 pieces, the LEGO® Technic NASA Artemis SLS Rocket 42221 comes in at $59.99, and the LEGO® Technic NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle 42182 landed in August 2024 at $219.99 with 1,913 pieces. Space.com’s NASA sets roundup, updated September 2026, still calls the retired Apollo 11 lander a reasonably priced pick, so you are in good company on this one!

Why Should You Buy this Set Now?

Trending sets related to current events see a huge spike in LEGO sets overall pricing on the resale market. Let’s take, for example, the LEGO® Kraven minifigure: when the Marvel movie trailer dropped, prices jumped overnight. That same current-event energy applies here — every Artemis launch or NASA headline puts a spotlight on space-themed LEGO® sets.

The Lunar Lander retired at $99.99 and as of October 2026 BrickEconomy has it at around $120 sealed, up 20% over retail. Growth has been slow, about 5% to 6.83% a year since retirement, and the projection is around $128 within a year. No reissue of 10266 has surfaced, though a reissue would put a lid on that climb. Big LEGO® sets tend to be solid long-term holds, and this one is no exception.
