Daft Punk called it quits in 2021, but the robots are back, in plastic. LEGO announced on Thursday morning (Oct. 22) a partnership with the French duo, and its first product is a set built around the pyramid stage from their 2007 Alive tour, Billboard reports. Pitchfork notes that Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo now join the Beatles and the Spice Girls among the musicians turned into bricks.

The news arrived as a short film in which minifigures of the two producers follow a holographic red brick through a murky landscape until they reach the “gates of play,” Billboard says. It is set to “Voyager,” from 2001’s Discovery, and the title track of 2005’s Human After All. Watch it below.

The set began as a lockdown project. Patrick Harboun and his son, from Luxembourg, built the pyramid, won the grand prize in LEGO Ideas’ 2020 Music to Our Ears challenge and went on to earn more than 10,000 supporters on the platform, per Complex. “This all started as a creative escape during lockdown between my son and I because of our shared love of Daft Punk and LEGO building,” Harboun said in a statement.

The pyramid stage is one of the most recognisable expressions of Daft Punk’s visual world, so it feels fitting that this fan-created design will be centre stage of this partnership.

The pyramid was the centerpiece of Alive 2007, the Grammy-winning live album that documented the tour, per Complex. The partnership is meant to go beyond one set. LEGO says it aims to “inspire and remix fandoms” and promises “product, content and brand experiences,” and its chief product and marketing officer, Julia Goldin, called it “just the beginning of a bigger journey.” The pyramid set has no release date yet, and LEGO says more details are coming in 2027.

The helmets keep turning up. Apu came back to The Simpsons under a “Daft Monk” helmet, and Homem-Christo produced Travis Scott’s “RHYNO” for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. Now the duo’s most recognizable stage is headed for the shelf.
