The LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) is now available for purchase on Shop@Home. The set retails for $24.99 and has 231 pieces with minifigures featuring some notable women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I’ve already done an early review of the set and you can check that out here.
Explore the professions of some of the groundbreaking women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with the LEGO® Ideas Women of NASA set. It features minifigures of 4 pioneering women of NASA— astronomer and educator Nancy Grace Roman, computer scientist and entrepreneur Margaret Hamilton, astronaut, physicist and entrepreneur Sally Ride and astronaut, physician and engineer Mae Jemison—and 3 builds illustrating their areas of expertise. Role-play space exploration from planning to moon landing, beginning with the iconic scene from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 of Hamilton with software that she and her team programmed. Build the posable Hubble Space Telescope and launch a LEGO version of the Space Shuttle Challenger with 3 removable rocket stages. The set also includes a booklet about the 4 featured women of NASA, and the fan creator and LEGO designers of this fun and educational set.

The first recognition for all the womans that work in the times that there was not igual opportunities
No, it is not.
It could be stated that it is the first recognition of specific NASA women in Lego form, though fairly sure they had several NASA sets with IRL female inspired figures – but definitely not the ‘first recognition for all the women in the times that there was not equal opportunities’
Every minifigure in this set is a well-known and recognized (at least in the scientific/nasa community) woman – many of whom have received recognition in the past via awards/medals/certificates/etc…
Scarilian, thank God you are here.
AND THE SET IS STILL AVAILABLE! MY GOSH ITS BEEN LIKE, TWELVE HOURS! Oh wait, nobody wants controversial Lego sets. Move along.
Tbh I bought one. They’re still solid figures, and people who’ve made extremely valuable contributions to science
limit one in store, or 2 online…, scalpers are trying to buy up all the stock at stores, my local store had someone try to buy all they had
Disgusting.
Stock seems to be doing okay as it’s still available online. There are a lot of people passing on this set though, so not sure I see the scalping potential. Set is good for the minifigs alone though.
