Cosmic Cardboard Adventures 40533 | IDEAS | LEGO

Box Condition 8.5/10

The LEGO® set 40533 is the Cosmic Cardboard Adventures model from the LEGO Ideas theme.

This set is a unique, nostalgic build that celebrates the power of a child's imagination by recreating a homemade cardboard spaceship in a bedroom diorama.

Model Description

The set is a detailed, brick-built tribute to childhood imaginative play and was the winner of a LEGO Ideas fan-design contest (designed by Ivan Guerrero).

Subject: A diorama of a child's bedroom featuring a starship made out of cardboard boxes, pillows, drinks cans, toys, and duct tape.

The Ship: The "homemade hardware" of the starship is cleverly built from bricks to look like it's cobbled together from household items. Details include hand-drawn stickers to represent controls and markings, adding to the authentic, childlike aesthetic.

Characters and Minifigures: The set allows you to join the adventure with:

Captain Billy (The Minifigure): A young space fan wearing a shirt with a classic LEGO Space logo.

First Mate Teddy: A small teddy bear that fits inside a brick-built Exo Suit (a nod to the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit).

Doctor Kitty: A cat figure that accompanies the crew.

Diorama Details: The buildable display includes parts of the child's room, such as the wall, rug, and other objects that set the scene for the "journey into infinity and beyond."

Piece Count and Age: The set contains 203 pieces and is recommended for ages 18+ due to its collectible nature and nostalgic theme.

The set was released in 2022 and was typically offered as a Gift with Purchase (GWP) promotion.
