a guy from somewhere Posted January 14 Haha so glad to see exactly what I wanted, a mid range space base set! Can’t wait to see pics of that. Hopefully we see more to come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Classic_Spaceman Posted January 14 26 minutes ago, Lion King said: That’s what I suspected. I thought it was kinda odd that Lego decided to release Space sets in winter instead of spreading sets throughout 2024. I’m glad to see a few more Space sets! City subthemes (not counting mainline police, fire, etc) are usually only in single HY waves, so space just being a 1HY thing was a possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, Police and Fire sets are always released in 1HY annually. We had Space subtheme in 1HY in 2022. As for summer, we always get different subthemes - Ocean in 2020, Wildlife Rescue in 2021, Farm in 2022, and Arctic Ocean in 2023 and we will havve Jungle this summer. So I’m just saying I’m glad to see a few more Space sets later this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my point - There was a chance that space would just be the 1HY exploration subtheme, with jungle taking its place in 2HY. Instead, it looks like we are getting both jungle and space!

Yes - I remember Ocean Exploration subtheme did have that polybag. I can’t remember if Wildlife Rescue subtheme had that polybag in 2021. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted January 15 (edited) I hope that Space Lab set has 2 modules, would be nice to see them in a smaller set that's not €70+ Edited January 15 by TeriXeri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danimarroquin Posted January 15 22 hours ago, Lion King said: Most likely, it would be February or March. Sadly, in America won't see those sets until September. im really hoping for a 200-dollar airport set, for that passenger plane set. talking about that set, seems it sold out everywhere, on the main web and neither Walmart nor target has it.

BlueLanturnCorp Posted January 15 I'm curious as to if the new Lab will be a building, or a mobile pod that can swap out with the others in the Jan wave. But given that $35 (Assuming USD not CAD) is usually around £25-£30, I'm not holding out hopes for anything amazing if it's a solo building. (300ish parts at a guess, maybe as high as 350.) Assuming if it's a building, they'll want a small vehicle or side build that's usually 35 ish parts, figures another 5-6 each there's nearly 50 parts on two figs and a buggy.

Lion King Posted January 15 I wonder…since we have a new facility in Richmond, VA. I wonder if we will see summer sets at the same time as Europe, like June? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the new plant in VA (I live in VA btw), we should get sets earlier this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted January 16 (edited) Not to shut down hope here, but the factory in the USA has an "initial opening date scheduled in 2025" , so it's not operational for a while yet. They just broke ground in April 2023. But hey, at least it's being built, unlike LEGOLAND Belgium / Benelux which was cancelled in 2023.
