At last, the Tintin Lego Rocket has gone on sale in South Africa. An avid Tintin and Lego fan excitedly reported that he had just bought three of the much-anticipated tie-up between these two iconic brands.
No, the fan was not me – but rather a friend whooping that he got there first. I know he has four children, so I assume they are for him and his adult friends. You can read about my excitement for the set here.
The Lego Tintin Moon Rocket has 1,283 pieces inside and will set you back R3,200. Standing about 30cm high, the top cone opens up to reveal the control deck of the legendary red and white rocket.
Great Snakes!
Tintin fans will rejoice at having a soon-to-be-iconic lineup of minifigurines in their space suits. This (obviously) includes Tintin, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, the Thompson twins and Snowy, the only dog to make it to the moon. It’s difficult to restrain myself from jumping up and buying it immediately, but I have deadlines and responsibilities. It’ll have to wait until the weekend.
