A Rumor Now Has A Full Picture Available, And A New Leak Is Your Journey To The Moon
*Screams in patriotism, LEGO® fandom, and booms* Let’s go! This excellent set joins the lineup of sets past, like the Saturn V LEGO® set.
LEGO® has an exceptional track record of creating NASA sets that emulate the real rockets. Do yourself a favor and get yourself in the mood for this review by watching the SLS rocket launch the craft into orbit…
Before we get to the build, the rumors, and the fanatics, let’s learn just a little about the Artemis Missions. NASA is launching these rockets to send us back to the freaking Moon.
What The Heck Are The Artemis Missions?
The missions entered their critical stage in 2025. Artemis II is the first crewed mission (a lunar flyby) and, as of February 2026, it’s targeting an early 2026 launch window. The first crewed lunar landing is now tracking later (Artemis III is the one everyone’s staring at). Either way: this craft consists of the SLS rocket and the Orion Spacecraft, and it’s still the modern sequel to Apollo.
The SLS rocket, also known as the Space Launch System megarocket, stands 322 feet tall and produces 8.8 million pounds of maximum thrust at liftoff — about 15% more than the Saturn V Rocket.
The Orion Spacecraft, located at the tip of the entire rocket, is a module equipped to take four humans further than any other NASA-manned mission has ever gone before. It will safely transport the astronauts (we’re back, baby) to the Moon and back.
But What About How Dope 10341 Is Going To Be To Build?!
Oh boy. LEGO® Icons sets have done it again. LEGO® has done it again. The countdown to awesome has begun.
It looks like it stands tall — we are talking about 27.5 inches tall (over 2 feet) from the official specs. And it comes with a whopping 3,601 pieces, which means it will take you a few hours, maybe even a full day or two, to complete it entirely. You can tell from the image that it is riddled with details — the cross-baring on the launch mount is incredible (the launch mount is the metal that supports the rocket’s launch). It doesn’t have any minifigures…but who cares!
This thing is sick. Looks like the LEGO® designers put their NASA engineer hats on and went to work!
BONUS: The Smaller Artemis Rocket That Actually Lifts Off (Technic 42221)
If you love the idea of 10341 but don’t love the idea of handing your wallet a parachute, LEGO® Technic dropped a NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket (set 42221) that’s basically the “watch it launch” version — crank it, stage separation happens, dopamine hits, repeat. It’s $59.99 and it pairs ridiculously well as a desk-friendly side quest to the big Icons beast.
The Benefit For Your LEGO® Investment Portfolio
This is easy. All the kids right now watching these launches will not have the money to buy this. But in 10 years? 15 years? Those kids watching these new lunar missions will 100% want this rocket. These missions are going to send kids to school emboldened, passionately educating themselves to become NASA scientists. Decades down the line, they will want to buy this set, for a premium, from you!
What Are People On Forums Saying About The Leaked LEGO® Icons Artemis Space Launch System 10341?
We are looking at a retail of $259.99 — and yes, that’s still the LEGO.com price as of February 2026 (even if it’s sitting on backorder like it owns the place). As one user put it, “LEGO® why are you taking my money?!” I can’t blame him, I feel the same way! I am most likely going to buy two or three of these sets…sorry honey, the house can wait.
While users complain that it looks a bit “boring” on the outside, there is not much you can do about interconnected smooth tubing. The real fun here is the details and the build experience — and we’ve had that reality check since it launched on May 15th, 2024.
Get yourself lined up and ready to launch your bank account into orbit!
