Here’s an interesting discovery for Stargate fans and toy collectors: the Web site for Sears Canada is now selling Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis Best-Lock construction blocks (compatible with LEGO).
Available sets include:
- Stargate SG-1 Earth, with 900 pieces for an F-302, death glider, a small pyramid, obelisk, sphinx, and several soldiers (including the SG-1 team?). It’s not clear from the description, but the photo also includes a Stargate (with stairs) and three Jaffa Serpent Guards. This picture may be combining the Earth set with the separate Jaffa Versus SG-1 set.
- Stargate SG-1 Death Glider Attack, with 250 pieces for a death glider, a small tower, and an Anubis statue, plus a couple of soldier figures.
- Stargate Atlantis BC-304 Daedalus, with over 230 pieces to build the Daedalus battle-cruiser.
From the packaging the sets appear to be officially licensed by MGM. The larger “Earth” set retails at $39.99 (Canadian), with the smaller Daedalus and Death Glider sets going for $19.99.
The Best-Lock collection also includes a 900-piece Terminator set, as well as various generic military, police, and coast guard sets.
The sets are recommended for kids (and grown-ups!) ages 5 and up.
So far they’ve only turned up in Canada, and only online. If anyone spots these in a store or outside Canada, let us know!

Sylvia | August 25 @ 2:56 pmI hope they come with ickle SG-1 personel!
Fenny | August 25 @ 2:56 pmGod, I miss Stargate so much.. So regrettable that SGU was cancelled. Ever since SGU Season 2 was done, I have been doing re-watches continually of all three shows to prevent withdrawal, but ah.. It can only ease the suffering for so long, eventually the cravings will be too much!
morganrone93 | August 25 @ 3:43 pmI’ve wanted Lego to do Stargte for so long, if only Lego did these
wraithkelso | August 25 @ 4:05 pmI like how the Death Glider Attack and Daedalus both say xxx pieces on the boxart.
BurnZ | August 25 @ 9:19 pmDisappointed that the Atlantis gate on the Daedalus boxart is the mockup gate instead of the final version of the Pegasus gate.
BurnZ | August 25 @ 9:23 pmDam i really want these any chance of them being released in the UK Guys please let me know if anyone hears any news Many thanks
puddlejumper541 | August 26 @ 1:15 pmSeems pretty affordable compared to, say, LEGO Star Wars sets of similar complexity.
JoshuaJSlone | August 26 @ 1:44 pmI have posted a question on the Sears website for the SG-1 Earth set asking if it comes with SG-1 Personnel. I will advise on receiving an answer.
42Dawny | August 26 @ 3:51 pmI don’t believe it, Stargate LEGO! (Or equivalent.) How incredibly cool is that?! I wonder if it will ever arrive across here in the UK and the rest of Europe?
Thunderbird 2 | August 26 @ 4:46 pmNice! I think I will get these if they ship to UK
carrollwoman | August 27 @ 6:05 pmAw, How come no Prometheus?
Frozen Shepard | August 28 @ 11:42 amI got a email from “Best-lock” they said they will also be sold at “Family Dollar” stores in the US starting in September
crix | August 28 @ 1:18 pmthey might be in other stores other than Family dollar in the US also.. quote from Best-lock “We have also sold these sets to our US Distributor so they will also be selling these sets to their customer base so keep a check on any other toys stores to see if they start to pop up soon.”
crix | August 28 @ 1:23 pmI really hope i can sn get these shipped from the us or Canada to the uk or i just hope they reaslise them here
puddlejumper541 | August 28 @ 9:45 pmAwe, the 304 looked better in the Sears picture. Now I’m feeling a little less likely to buy it. I was excited about that one, too…
benwahballboy | August 30 @ 11:23 pmHere is the response from Sears, The BEST-LOCK™ Stargate SG-1™- Earth 900-Piece Building Set, offered on this page, only has generic figures in it. The BEST-LOCK™ Stargate SG-1 – Jaffa Versus SG-1 Construction Set, found at the following product link, has the full team members of SG-1.
