You have two -no three- good choices: either in the Fleet, at the Scorpian Shipyards, or (a far stretch, I know) next to Ragnar Station.😛

Looks like I have to check the Renegade's instructions, I don't remember a Futuron reference. Would be splendid if that came true though. I wonder if LEGO would re-use the Space City Modular spaceship torso prints again then, or surprise with a whole new outfit.

Could as well be there's simply still some stock left, and will be until the last is sold.

These days, "a few knights" is 10-15 bucks...

I doubt BDP sets could be purchased from (most of) those 35 countries prior to Bricklink closing operations. Pre-ordering a set went through the LEGO site anyway, so...

And automatic salary adjustion a way of keeping the managers grumpy.

Depends how much of the city's backdrop mountain the developers put in the design. It is a mountain range after all, with alot of depth if you want.

At least my mortgage hasn't gone up. 🫡

Unfortunately, in BDP one can only order 2 sets max. of any given design.

Aye, That be the one.

This picture reminds me of a James Bond movie's closing scene.

That was a picture of the Fountain Garden box transposed with the info of the upcoming gardens.

I'd say the designer. To me it looks like its more of an agreement between the designer and the LEGO group that the latter act as an intermediary for producing a limited amount of the design. Of course, the Löwenstein Castle was designed in another initeration of the BDP program, so the small print was likely quite different regarding ownership.

I think its more to do with how outer space was perceived in the late seventies and eighties (when those sets were designed) then with an attempt to create coherent lore. Besides, any scene set on a habitable exoplanet would look merely futuristic, not space. If LEGO would've released this kind of sets it probably would've been under the Town banner.

I feel we can't really complain about a lack of medieval/castle set opportunities in the last 5 years. Since the Medieval Blacksmith was released there's always been something out the for castle fans, and a reasonable variation in the heraldry and fief represenration. We started with a resurgence of the Black Falcons, followed by a return of the Lion Knights and Forestmen. Then came for the afficiado's a variation with the Silver Falcons and a Dragon Knight torso, not to mention several medieval CMF's. For those favouring medieval civilian life came a Medieval Town available, followed by no less then 4 (four!) brand new fiefs with unique heraldry which will potentially.keep us occupied for the next couple years collecting.
