LEGO Sci-Fi Ongoing - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion

I don't think there is any guarantee all the parts are going to show up on PAB.  In fact, the way Lego has been operating (making more items "exclusive"), I think the probability of getting all the parts is near zero.  This is particularly true in the USA, where we have not been able to order "standard" pieces for some time.  Only "best selling" items, which are stocked in the US warehouse are available to order.

Yeah, we know helmets and air tanks are, that's it, anything else is pure speculation

I don´t think the chances for the figs are all that bad. So far we have even had the Orange Spacemen in PAB even though it was exclusive to a Book and later a GWP and Insiders reward. And even if it doesn´t show up you still got plenty of time to buy it from Bricklink then and likely for a cheaper price as the set is more likely to go on higher discounts with time.

The official word from LEGO is that the minifig parts from the gumball machine will be available on PaB in the future (January has been mentioned)

What you think of this MOC. I try to build this without stickers and MOC with LEGO/CITY/Space

It looks like a Lego Turtle tank!

As long as you acknowledge that what you build is inspired by this Mass Effect MOC posted on YouTube by UsernameGeri four years ago, I wish you all the very best in building whatever take on it suits your fancy.

I bought instructions. And there is this model in Rebrickable. It has changed quite a bit (instructions). You can put suspensions but it is not mandatory. I have not played Mass Effect and like I said I try to moc it for CITY/Space.

Glad to hear that! Looking forward to seeing your version of it.

Hopefully they'll open it up like they did the orange spaceman. I don't care much for the gold guy, but I want the teal dude.

I suspect PAB standard will reopen when the virginia factory opens (as many do). Lets hope they reach that full production target early..

Given there being plain pieces available on bricklink and a classic spaceman sticker sheet (readily available on https://www.brickstickershop.com/Space-Torsos ), helmets and airtanks are all you really need.

As bestsellers or standard?

We'll see, I"m still skeptical.  If it was like the orange spaceman, the window to order before being sold out was very small, something like less than 24 hours.

Lego appears to be moving toward all parts being "best sellers" in each region, so agree that at some point all parts in the U.S. will be best sellers, it will just be a matter of whether they are available on PAB.

And, where can one find this "official word from Lego"?

Yeah, people talking about PAB being a saviour to this sorta figure forget that the CS parts are only up very briefly

PAB Standard parts are now available in the US.

I got the CS minifigs from the vending machine set yesterday. I am happy I made the decision to order them. They look fantastic. I got inspiration to build a small spaceship for them.

Glad I ordered them through BL also.  One set was for me and the other Christmas presents for my daughter who is also into CS.

Uhh, why are you keeping us waiting? That sounds awesome!

@danth I haven't taken pictures in a tidy environment with no background that I'm willing to share on Flickr, but I can DM you a link to my Google Photos album if you're interested. I still haven't bought the light bluish gray 6x6 tile that I really need to complete the rear ramp of the Starfleet Voyager, but other than that it's pretty complete.

[hikouki]

We are still pending to complete two classic spaceman colors.

With all of these new releases, has anyone seen these parts in any of the upcoming 2026 sets:

- bright light blue helmet

- bright green classic space torso

[RichardGoring]

Not seen any of those, but in the new City 'Rides' subtheme, they have a load of babies with helmets. Not sure if the helmet/head is a new mould, or whether they've used the spacebaby mould with air tanks. If they've reused that mould, then bright neon yellow, red, and lime green are all on the table for future space babies.

Quite randomly, it seems to me.

The dark blue parts are already gone a few hours after it opened too, lol

I didn't see this discussed, but this random minecraft set from this year has 2 6x8 trans-blue plates randomly. I just think this is kinda cool given how infrequently they make transparent plates nowadays. They're also in the BDP 10 palette

I was able to get a second Blacktron Renegade on sale and just finished building the alternate model. Despite how divisive it seems to have been, I really enjoyed that set. Ought to give MOCing with some of those leftover parts (and others from my collection)—it'd be nice to make a base for them, especially if I get the Blacktron fig from that recent book to act as a commander.

Oh nice, totally missed this, that's great for late game CS mocks. Hope trans-plates become a lot more common from here

they're availble on PAB Europe. Propably just a matter of days for North America. I think it was the other way around for the previous classic space parts.
