I agree, which is precisely why I think that he is the most/only likely X-Mas-Man.

True, but this episode gives us a canon reason for Christmas sweater variants! Also, depending on what we get (show/movie-wise) next year, this might be the only holiday special to draw from. I can see the Minifigs being: Iron Man, Elf Cap, Sweater Banner, Iron Legion drone, Justin Hammer, Darcy, and Hulk Happy. The Hulkbuster could be a build, along with the lab, some furniture and decorations for the Avengers Tower living room, and a large Santa hat. Unless Marvel is planning to lean heavily into ‘97, I am not sure that LEGO will include the X-Men in an Advent Calendar beyond just Wolverine.

If a module is already attached to the shuttle, it should have no problem docking with the station.

One is in front of the tree on the left side, one is behind the tree at the farthest corner of the white/brown building on the left, one is by the woodpile (animals to the right, tree to the left, white/brown building directly behind), one is between the grey/red and sand green/dark tan buildings, three are clustered together near the animals (knight behind the cow, a child back and to the left of the goat, and another standing behind them and in front of the cart), one is behind and above the red-and-yellow stall, one is in front of the stall (jester), one is on the tower, one is on the horse, and one is under the tree by the olive green building on the right (this one is difficult to make out).

I can see this episode being used for the 2024 Advent Calendar.

In case anyone is interested, @Duvors is doing some revisions to the GATS rules over on our Discord - Any and all suggestions are welcome, so feel free to drop by!

I also think that it can be attached to the centre of the station (where the botany module is in the video) to turn the station into a ship! I think that trans-orange would look good for the canopies (though many are not available in that colour 🫤). I am not really seeing the SP3 influence, but Galaxy Squad and Mars Mission feel like definite influences!

IMO, we got a set like this already in 2023 with the Viking Village; while the Minifigs had armour and weapons, the focus of the set was on day-to-day life rather than raids or battling mythical creatures. I suspect that we will see more sets like this in the near future - Maybe an Imperial Trading Post remake/reimagining with more focus on civilian port life? The prelim had 12 Minifigs, so 10-12 seems to be a reasonable estimate. The Galaxy Explorer had two alternate models, and Eldorado Fortress is modular, so I can see this happening.

You can also attach that, the communications module, and the hoverbike dock module to the ends of other standard modules to free up more space and expand the station. Link?

Right - I have no idea why I thought that!! 😑

Good PPP! The question now is how many animals and Minifigs we get.

I still think that if we were getting the Dragon Masters shield in the MTS, it would have appeared in the GWP (see CMF goat). 🫤

Malachor or Tatooine version, @Falconfan1414? IIRC, the anniversary ‘figs are just for the live-action instalments (so no TBB or J:FO/J:S).

Here. Occasionally; the dragon plume appeared in a video and made all of us think that it was returning in Majisto’s Workshop, for example. 🫤

Maybe testing to see if Space is popular enough with kids to warrant a full line, rather than just occasional AFOL-targeted D2C sets? Source for this? Also, by what metric? A $100 nostalgia-driven set is never going to sell as many copies as a $10 City police car! The short answer is “Yes”, since this is LEGO; the longer answer is dependent upon the exact construction of the set and your skill with Technic (specifically in integrating System parts into Technic builds).

That would make sense - Maybe the way that the crystals are used as a power source is by splitting them and harnessing the energy stream between the pieces. 🤔 It seems more like a short-range dropship than a long-range FTL transport, though (at least to me). The series in-question is LEGO City No Limits, not LEGO City Adventures (both can be found on YouTube).

But I like Star Wars! Fourth'ed!

Can you post some more pics? I am curious about the back prints for the barbarian and goatherd, as well as how the goatherd's torso looks on a Forestman. Also, does Basil not have printing on the sides of his legs?

There was only one crystal in the episode (and it was pink rather than purple), but it was stated to be intergalactic in origin, so there could be some connection. Also, I believe that they were on the moon, not an asteroid (the other rocks were a meteor storm). Since variants of the CS logo are used for the City space agency (and we now have colour-coded divisions appearing), I see Classic Space as being the endpoint LEGO space exploration (with offshoot factions taking over after that); also, I think that all (or at least nearly all) Space themes can be reconciled into a decent single timeline. It does not appear to have any cargo space, though. The Heavy Cargo Spaceship seems more like something that transports things to/from (or around) a planet and to a ship or station; that said, I agree that there has to be a larger ship being used for cargo transportation.

Star Wars is not going anywhere, but I would love to see the return of a full in-house Space theme!

It could, but the different logos (2019, 2022, 2024, etc) could also be the same agency at different points in time, or just different mission patches from the same agency (as @Aanchir suggested).

Recasting allows Marvel to distance Kang from Majors (which is something they were trying to avoid in the case of T’Challa), and it would not even technically be “recasting” since whoever shows up next would be a different Variant of Kang (and NWH has already established that Variants do not need to look alike). Something else that recasting allows is a twist in which a character turns out to actually be Kang; this is easy to do in the comics, but any character played by Majors would immediately be recognised as Kang. Maybe we could get a loose adaptation of Mr. Gryphon with Rick Mason buying Avengers Tower and setting himself up as a mentor/supplier for the Young Avengers, only for him to later reveal himself to be Kang?

NASA seems to be separate from the the moon-and-rocket agency/company (given that the rocket in the 2022 sets has NASA logos, while the astronauts themselves have the variant CS logo), but I can see the 2022 and 2024 astronauts being from the same faction but at different points in time. Not likely, since the landscape looks nothing like Mars. Exactly. 👍 It also could be an evolution of the same agency’s logo over time, though different factions with similar logos is actually quite realistic!

It could be a test craft that utilises the new crystal/crystal-botanic battery tech. We had crystals on Mars in Mars Mission (which I see as a successor to the 2024 sets), and wherever the City sets take place must be close enough to Mars for a rock with an alien in it to arrive there before the species in-question evolved into something drastically different or went extinct (especially since the City ones take place in the future). Either that, or the aliens are space-cockroaches! The issue with that, however, is that the crew needs a way to ship batteries back to Earth and receive supplies that they cannot produce for themselves. Given the size and configuration of the engine on the Interstellar Spaceship, I doubt that the ‘space-train’ is FTL capable. I see the Workbee as a better Star Trek analogue.
