Lego has confirmed it will re-release its Ulysses solar probe set exclusively to VIP members, who can redeem it for free if they have 1,800 VIP points while supplies last via the Lego Rewards Center. If your memory is fuzzy, the NASA Ulysses Space Probe was launched in very limited quantities as a LEGO VIP Reward alongside the 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery. To study the Sun at all latitudes, the probe needed to change its orbital inclination and leave.

And there is an extra space age gift for Lego fans looking to build their collection with a new purchase, too. The last day for mission operations on Ulysses was 30 June 2009. An epic Lego space set made exclusively for VIP members is coming back on Tuesday (May 17), but youвЂ™ll have to act fast if you want to try to redeem it.
