Even though the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) was just released last month, it has been out of stock pretty much since then and fans have been starting to worry if it would ever come back. There have been sightings of it at various LEGO Brand Stores, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart but that stock has been limited as well. So what’s the deal on it?
Last month, it was stated through an email from LEGO saying that the Saturn V would be in production through 2018 and we now have an official word from Hasan from LEGO Ideas. In his statement, he has stated
We Are Continuing To Produce More Apollo Saturn V Sets
There was no doubt that the set would continued to be produced but some would rather wait for an official statement from LEGO. As Captain America says, be patient and keep checking in on it at LEGO Stores if you’re near one or on B&N and Walmart online. You can read the full statement below.
It has been over a month since the official launch of the LEGO® Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set and the overwhelming popularity of the iconic rocket has unfortunately meant that some LEGO fans have not yet been able to purchase their set or have had to wait longer than they had hoped.
Unfortunately, rumours and speculation have arisen concerning its availability, which we would like to shortly address.
We Are Continuing To Produce More Apollo Saturn V Sets
Having just launched the Apollo Saturn V set recently, we will continue to produce the set according to our scheduled plans and we would like to re-assure everyone that it has not been retired.While the set is temporarily out of stock through our online shop, with limited quantities available in LEGO Stores, our production teams are working hard to produce more sets in order to make sure that everyone will be able to purchase their copy. This does take time however and we therefore ask for your patience. The product page on our online shop is continually updated to reflect current availability, but if you have questions regarding your order you’re very welcome to contact our Customer Service.
We would like to thank you for your continued support of LEGO Ideas, and we cannot wait to bring you more exciting sets designed by LEGO fans.

Happily, mine was delivered about 30 minutes ago. I’m in Birmingham in the UK, and ordered on the Friday after the set came out
Does this mean it won’t be around during Christmas?
Depends on how fast their production is.
Got pretty lucky and found a bunch in Toys R Us still in stock
Lego store in Cleveland had 26 in stock this past Friday. Held one for me as they usually do and I live an hour away. Best to call each Friday at 10am opening. That’s when they receive shipments. I picked one up as did my wife because they still had about 10 displayed when we arrived. 😉
Oh lol, I should have just tried there then.
I have learned my lesson back when the Curiosity Rover went on sale
Target has had stock going in and out in the US. I was able to sneak in an order.
