10497

Set 10497, “Galaxy Explorer”, depicts a Classic Space style spacecraft within the Icons theme. Released in 2022, it contains 1254 pieces and presents a modern treatment of a space subject rooted in LEGO history.

“Galaxy Explorer” is placed in the Icons theme and draws on the visual language of Classic Space. The model focuses on a large exploration spacecraft, with an identity connected to classic astronauts and to LEGO space building as a broad subject.

The build uses 1254 pieces and results in a main vehicle suited to display, careful handling, and collection use. The set includes 2 minifigures named by Rebrickable: Classic Space, White with Airtanks (Jenny) and Classic Spaceman, Red with Airtanks (New Moulds). On confirmed information, the notable contents are therefore the spacecraft itself and those classic space suited characters with airtanks.

This set is aimed at Icons collectors, LEGO space enthusiasts, and builders who want a model with a clear Classic Space reference. Within Icons, it sits among sets that reinterpret earlier LEGO subjects rather than among sets tied to a specific narrative licence.
