Well, 3 released so far and one still unaccounted for!

I do wish they would do fewer. I like these figures a lot but you can't even make the argument they wouldn't be included without piecemealing them because we also consistently get them in random sets and GWPs

True. I have to wonder if it's just easier that way for intrepid heroes who work inside Lego to sneak out Space minifigs. Slip out the torsos via BAM, then the other parts via random sets. We're getting trans yellow windscreens in SW this year too. 

I'm sure that's part of it but at this point they definitely know what they're doing. Like why do they never sneak in a helmet or air tanks in like a 20 quid city boat or something.

I was able to get the purple helmet and air tank off Bricklink after the prices became close to reasonable. If these new parts ever hit PAB, they won't be expensive to get. Hopefully that's part of the "plan" too. 

Not sure if it's news to anyone, but the 2025 City Advent Calendar has a Classic Space Christmas sweater.

It can be annoying, especially when it comes to what's the next color. Hopefully next year, Light bluish gray helmets and tanks show up.

Not saying no to that, although I’ve already spent a fortune hunting down light gray helmets and air tanks!

Just randomly occurred to me… can we possibly get a transparent spaceman? The bright light blue was supposed to come out with part transparent parts.

I feel like they got Star Wars greedy.

Wonder if the helmet will be there. Also wonder what the next color is going to be…
