    Also two alien sets. 40715 and 40716.

    I got some pretty sweet deals from Walmart lately. Got the Lunar Space Station for half off in the store. The Mission sets were also half off, and I got the Mars and Animal Rescue sets. On the website I got the Big Wheel Gift Set for only $20 which includes a tractor set, a construction digger set, and a farm polybag. And I see more sets on sale there. Hmm...

    I hope the spaceship is Blacktron, because what else would make sense? However as a Space fan I'm very wary of getting hopes up. The alien stuff sounds cool. Here's hoping for a Seatron habitat! 2024 could be amazingly lit for us Space fans, or a huge psyche out. @Classic_Spaceman

    Technic figs were awesome! I also like the Belville and Galidor figure formats, mainly for their posability. They're the closest thing to having official Lego action figures. There aren't many male Belville figs to choose from, and only two human Galidor figures, but both formats seems fine. I don't really like the Dreamzzz guys since they only exist as a way for Lego to cheap out on minifigs. Most odd figs like those just seem cheap.I really hated the Mars Mission small aliens for that reason.

    All I can say is, be the change you want to see. How many MOCs from other people have you commented on here in the past year? I try to comment on every MOC that I can say something nice about if it's in my sphere of interest. Because it sucks when your MOC gets ignored. I posted a Classic Space ship that splits into two space ships, and both space ships transforms into a mech. I think it looks pretty darn good. And, you know, both ships f*cking transform. And almost nobody commented on it. I think people just don't care about MOCs that aren't Star Wars or something else they already like.

    Yeah, that set was a bit of a letdown. The minifig is cool I guess, but without prints, it feels like a cheap slapped together thing. Which it is, since it was free, but still.

    Galaxy Explorer is far and away the best IMO, easily #1. The Lion Knights Castle and Forest Hideout are certainly up there. Past that I need to think about it more.

    I'm really enjoying having a list of sticker-free sets, and honestly I didn't even realize how many sets are sticker free. I just bought all the SW mechs and the Mandalorian microfighter, as well as two new City 2K drive sets, which I'm pretty sure have only prints. Just knowing I won't have to deal with stickers is making it much more enjoyable to buy Lego. I think I can go full SELF now. Sticker Exclusionary Lego Fan.

    I was thinking mostly the same thing except they could combine the back fin backpack with moulded chest ribbing and make it like an armor piece.

    We need a Sea-Tron alien.

    I've only bought a few vintage non-Lego sets as curiosities. Tyco Super Blocks and Tente. Both are long defunct. But they remind of a different time, where any upstart company could just make their own competing building toys, and come up with their own crazy toy designs, like these or these.

    WOW, that's a GREAT point.

    I'll never understand this opinion. All us 80's kids played with classic Lego themes for 20 years and we loved it. Kid's haven't been around long and everything is new to them. It can take years to get invested in an IP and most kids are onto the next thing before that happens. Seems like it's adults who want IPs. Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, LotR, that's all for adults. I've never seen kids into that stuff, maybe some high schoolers but they're too cool for Lego (until they become adults).

    Every licensed CMF is incredibly boring to me. And 50% of non-licensed CMFs are pretty boring. A Space CMF sounds incredibly awesome to me.

    Whaaat, the 60396 truck windscreen is classic trans green, not trans-light green as it appears on the box! They really do make colored windscreens look lighter on the box, I guess so you can see the minifigs. This destroys any arguments against darker transparent windscreens. Bring back trans blue for City Space!

    Space is super popular. Sadly, there is no long running, historic theme beloved by AFOLs, and beloved by multiple generations of children for 20 years, to put space ships, or other spacy things like mechs. So they have to put them in Friends, City, Monkie Kid, etc. EDIT: C'mon people, the above was sarcasm.

    I'm ready for the return of Fabuland, don't care what they call it. 😁

    Instagram sucks, I can only see the top 9 posts on any tag, and the top 20 posts from any user. So if they post a lot, it's gone before I can see it.

    OK so adventure and space sets are in City now. Maybe the problem is the name. City. Obviously space stations are in space, not cities. And deep arctic sea explorations are in arctic seas, not cities. So many we need to update the name. City is too narrow. We need something more vague. Lego Places? Lego Realms? Lego Land? Lego Land has a nice ring to it. Maybe that could be on the box. Maybe on a yellow ribbon going across the upper left corner of the box? EDIT: Nobody is picking up on the very obvious joke... 😁

    Is that really how it works? I would assume Lego amortizes the cost of pieces over multiple years if not the entire lifetime of the part. Yeah...if I've learned anything, it's that the way I really want things to happen is rarely the way it happens. This goes triple for Space Lego. I will never understand this "Space is City now" thing. NASA-styled city sets is one thing. But Space Mech? Space Rover with Aliens? In City? Almost assuredly in NASA colors as usual. Look Lego...you just give us some colored windscreens and a real Space Logo (in GOLD, not orange or blue), and I agree to ignore this silly City thing.

    If it really happens, and it's Space, not City Space or something dumb, then it'll be awesome.

    Thanks, wow, I don't know what to think yet. Cautiously optimistic!

    If it's the one with the yellow canopy, I'm also taking credit.

    Very nice, I get a strong Cobra Terror Drome & Firebat vibe from that launch hangar.

    I wish! I was sensing some serious Star Wars fatigue during the sequel trilogy. The movies have been so bad, I was hoping we'd be free from the clutches of Lego Star Wars for at least a little while. But then The Mandalorian had to go and be an actually decent show. And now Asohka threatens to be interesting, and I have seen nothing but praise for the recently revealed SW sets.
