Billund, Jan. 22 -- : Space enthusiasts can now build their own International Space Station (ISS) without the help of NASA, and using Lego's new model.

The new ISS model is based on a concept from Lego fan Christoph Ruge and consists of 864 pieces, including the space station, and a Lego brick-built NASA space shuttle with three mini cargo spacecraft and two astronaut microfigures, the official release notes.

There's a posable Canadarm2 with rotating joints that coincide with eight adjustable solar panels to replicate the real space station. The new model is part of the company's 10-year celebration of the Lego Ideas Programme. It will be available via Lego's website and stores from February 1, 2020, at USD 69.99.
