Rex's Rexplorer!

Rex's Rexplorer! is the spaceship belonging to Rex Dangervest in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, released in 2019. Built from 1,187 pieces with 292 unique parts, it leans hard into a scrappy, self-assembled look rather than a sleek starship design. Two minifigures come with the set.

Description

Built for a rugged explorer

Rex Dangervest is introduced in the second LEGO Movie film as a tougher, more adventurous alternate version of Emmet, and his ship looks the part. Rather than a smooth, symmetrical hull, the Rexplorer is built from mismatched panels, exposed struts and an open cockpit that reads as bolted together on the fly. The dark blue base colour, combined with dark and light bluish grey plus black, gives the model a worn, metallic finish that suits a ship meant to look well travelled rather than brand new.

Cockpit and play features

An open cockpit sits at the centre of the build, keeping the pilot figure visible rather than hidden under a canopy, surrounded by irregularly placed panels that reinforce the improvised look. A smaller grabbing or loading arm adds a play function beyond simple flying, giving the ship something to do besides sit on a shelf. With two minifigures aboard, there's enough room to run small two-character scenes rather than a single pilot flying solo.

Piece variety in a mid-size vehicle

At 292 unique parts across 1,187 pieces total, the Rexplorer has a higher-than-average part variety for a vehicle of its size, which comes through in how deliberately asymmetric the build looks once finished. That variety sets it apart from the more streamlined ships found in other Star Wars or City space vehicles, and it's a useful source of unusual dark blue and grey elements for anyone building their own spacecraft outside the LEGO Movie theme.

After the build

Because so few angles repeat, the build itself moves at an uneven pace compared with a symmetrical vehicle, making it a more engaging project for builders who enjoy less predictable instructions. Once finished, the ship works equally well as a play piece for adventure scenes or as a display item alongside other The LEGO Movie 2 vehicles. The full parts list below makes it straightforward to track down individual colours and shapes, handy for completing a set that has lost pieces over time.
