Lunar Research Base

The Lunar Research Base is one of the larger LEGO® City space sets from 2022, packing 794 pieces and 6 minifigures into a single build. Rather than a static display model, it reads as a proper play set: modular, crew-heavy and built around a whole mission rather than one vehicle.

Description

Piece count and scale

At 794 pieces, the Lunar Research Base sits toward the top end of LEGO® City's 2022 space wave. Its 263 unique parts give the build more variety than a typical vehicle set, mixing station modules, rover elements, antennas and small equipment pieces. Builders used to compact City sets should expect a noticeably longer session here, closer to a themed weekend build than a quick afternoon project, simply because so many assemblies come together. The mix of a fixed station structure with a separate moving rover also keeps the process from feeling repetitive.

A full mission crew

Six minifigures is a generous crew for a single set, well above the one-or-two-figure norm in most City lines. That headcount supports proper role play: landing, research, transport and rescue can all happen at once instead of one figure doing everything on its own. It also makes the set a natural fit alongside other 2022 City space releases for anyone building out a bigger base, since additional figures from other sets can simply join the same scene. Over time, a shelf of matching space sets turns into a much larger, more detailed mission layout than any single box could offer.

Colour palette

White, light bluish grey and dark bluish grey dominate the build, with black picking out antennas, joints and equipment throughout the structure. That restrained palette is standard for LEGO® space sets and keeps the station looking technical rather than toy-bright, which suits older builders who prefer a more realistic look over primary-colour sets aimed at very young children. It also makes the model easy to blend with other space-themed builds already on a shelf or baseplate, since the colours stay consistent across most sets in the line. The parts list on this page breaks the palette down further for anyone planning extensions.

Parts beyond the build

With 263 distinct elements, the set is also a useful parts source once the original model is finished, for rovers, small outposts or custom modules in the same colour family. The parts list on this page breaks down every element by colour and quantity, which is the quickest way to check what is available before starting a new build or hunting for a replacement piece. Specialised elements such as joints and antenna pieces are not included in every set, which makes this base handy for fans designing their own space-themed creations.
