I just heard from user Brick Clicker on Youtube that there's rumors of the January 2023 series (71037) being Series 24.
Since it's very odd of LEGO to ditch the whole "1 unlicensed series per year" thing, could this possibly be the consequences of them switching to cardboard packaging? Meaning there may even be a series 25 next year before we get a licensed series again? Just some thoughts I had.
