Daft Punk enters Lego collection as pyramid stage set

Lego releases official Daft Punk minifigures and their iconic 2007 Alive Tour pyramid stage as a buildable set.

Daft Punk fans can now own plastic versions of the band's two members, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. The set includes Lego's take on the pyramid stage from their legendary 2007 Alive Tour.

It started as a fan idea during Covid lockdown, when a father and son from Luxembourg pitched Lego on recreating the band's most recognisable visual. Lego approved the design and turned it into an official collection.

Bangalter and Homem-Christo now join the Beatles and the Spice Girls as bands made into bricks. Daft Punk's longtime creative director Cédric Hervet said fans have always been central to the group's story.

He's excited to see that creativity reflected in the Lego universe.
