The Rarest LEGO Brick is Now at Disney Springs’ LEGO Store!

Move over brown bricks in Minecraft! Have you seen the space brick in the LEGO store?!

The always-packed LEGO store at Disney Springs will play host to the European Space Agency’s Space Brick over the Summer! Sadly, you cannot buy one for yourself.

The small 2×4 brick is made from meteorite dust. The material was used to 3D print it into the shape of one of LEGO’s most iconic building pieces.

The ESA states that the meteorite used to make this rare toy crashed into North Africa over two decades ago. Multiple bricks were made, and they now tour throughout North America and Europe.

“In order to prototype and test their upcoming space construction, and with no regolith at hand, the ESA team had to think creatively (we LOVE that). What’s the closest thing they have to regolith? Meteorite dust. This particular meteorite, discovered in Northwest Africa in 2000, is about 4.5 billion years old and packed with space materials like metal grains and chondrules. By mixing this meteorite dust with a bit of polylactide and regolith simulant (you know, as you do), the team was able to 3D-print bricks that mimic and behave just like LEGO bricks.“

One of these ultra-rare bricks can be seen at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World. Encased in a special display, visitors can check out the gunmetal grey-colored oddity until September 20.
