Two very different franchises are getting the brick treatment. Lego has approved a Lego Ideas submission based on Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, meaning the 2014 film will become an official set — more than a decade after its theatrical release. IGN reported the fan-designed project cleared the Ideas review process, with Polygon noting the set centers on the film's Ranger spacecraft. A release date hasn't been pinned down yet.

It's an unexpected pick for the Ideas program, which has previously turned fan submissions into sets for properties ranging from retro tech to cult TV. A hard sci-fi drama about relativity and crop blight isn't the obvious shelf companion to Star Wars X-wings — which is exactly why fans voted for it.

On the Nintendo side, the company officially teased a new Yoshi Lego set Monday via its Nintendo Today app. Details are thin, but it extends a Lego-Nintendo partnership that has already produced Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing lines. Everyone's favorite shoe-wearing dinosaur joining the lineup feels less like a surprise and more like an inevitability finally arriving.
