All LEGO Universe sets
The LEGO Universe theme has just one set, released in 2010: 55001 LEGO Universe Rocket, a 56-piece rocket. It brings the world of the LEGO Universe online game, where players build and explore, into brick form.
A theme reduced to a single set in 2010
The LEGO Universe theme has just one set: 55001 LEGO Universe Rocket, released in 2010. It therefore spans a single release year, with no other model to complete it.
This one set is at once the largest, the smallest and the most recent in the theme. Its size of 56 pieces is also the average piece count per set for the whole theme.
55001 LEGO Universe Rocket, a 56-piece rocket
As its name suggests, 55001 LEGO Universe Rocket depicts a rocket. It is made up of 56 pieces, which puts it below the average for the entire LEGO catalogue, set at 389 pieces per set.
For anyone discovering the theme, this set is therefore a modestly sized model, centred on a single spacecraft rather than a complete scene.
The LEGO Universe online game behind the theme
LEGO Universe was a massively multiplayer online video game in which players built with virtual bricks and travelled through worlds alongside other players. When it comes to real bricks, the theme is limited to the rocket.
55001 LEGO Universe Rocket thus links the world of the game with that of hands-on building. Fans of the game will find in brick form the spirit of travel and creation that drove the online adventure.
