More details on rumoured LEGO 10391 Moments Space

More details have emerged on the rumoured LEGO 2024 set 10391 Moments Space, which is now said to be something very different from the return of Blacktron many were hoping for.

When initial reports of 10391 Moments Space dropped in August last year, reliable rumour source brick_clicker claimed the 18+ set would include a ‘large black spaceship’ made up of 966 pieces. Given its numbering placed it under the Icons banner, the natural conclusion was that this set would be a follow-up to 10497 Galaxy Explorer, revisiting another faction from Classic Space.

It now sounds like the model will actually be hooked to the upcoming Pharrell Williams biopic Piece by Piece, which will tell the story of the artist’s life using LEGO bricks. Instagram user fateful_lego reports that 10391 Moments Space (which is only a codename for the set at the moment) will indeed include a black spaceship with a gold cockpit, but that’s not all.

Also said to be included in the 966-piece model are an enormous trail for the ship made up of blue, pink, green and orange elements; a frame with 49 different headpieces in different skin tones (and several new face prints), reminiscent of 21337 Table Football; and two minifigures – one male, one female – in grey space suits with torso and leg prints and black and gold helmets.

If that sounds like a bizarre prospect so far, it can perhaps only be explained by a connection to an equally confounding project: Pharrell’s animated LEGO movie, which will apparently not be a traditional biopic. (No kidding.) There are two key details in 10391 Moments Space suggesting a link between the product and feature film, the first of which is that the words ‘Atlantis Apts’ can apparently be seen somewhere on the LEGO ship.

Pharrell lived in a complex called Atlantis Apartments in Virginia Beach until he was seven years old. The 19 two-story buildings sold to a New York real estate developer in 2021 for $24.5m, and the company promised at the time to renovate the entire apartment complex to the tune of $15m. If Piece by Piece is due to tell the entire story of Pharrell’s life, this could be a spaceship that somehow represents his first home.

The other detail that’s joining the dots between these two projects is that the frame in which the minifigure heads are located is said to be adorned with the phrase ‘My Phriends’. According to music website Genius, Pharrell is gearing up to release a new album in 2024 titled ‘Phriends, Vol. 1’, with potential features from Miley Cyrus, Travis Scott and Tyler, the Creator.

If that record is released alongside Piece by Piece, all of those artists and more could be represented through 10391 Moments Space’s alternate headpieces. Or they could just be generic face prints in exactly the same way as 21337 Table Football. It’s tough to say one way or the other right now, but either way, we’re a very long way from the return of LEGO Blacktron.

All details around 10391 Moments Space – or whatever it ends up being called, if it does exist – should be taken with a customary pinch of salt for the time being. The set was originally rumoured to release in October 2023, and then April 2024, but fateful_lego now suggests it will launch on September 20, 2024. That’s only a few weeks ahead of Piece by Piece’s theatrical debut on October 11.
