^ and are these people the ones buying a £200 Lego set, I think not. I think a LOTR set would sell better.

but as has been said a number of time, we almost have a everything we need from the hobbit but we are missing a lot from lotr, most of which we could get with a gondor set. And I think lotr has more to offer a large d2c and would sell better.

If there is a D2C it would be better if it was LOTR

This just shows how little Lego are willing to spend on these set, they couldn't do a white spaceman because the parts were not there but yet they can do one for a promo, very odd and the barrel need a color change but no money for that. I feel sorry for the designers on ideas set. But I have to say they did a great job.

100% agree and this is why I still have just a little bit of hope

I would like a space theme that lasted a few years so we could build up a number of sets and figs. classic space would be good but you make a good point that a set every now and then could work but if there was a time for a classic space reboot it is now.

and love the turtle, has Peter Reid got any other classic space set on ideas that we should all support? If not now is the time to put the next one up because will all the hype around classic space with this and the movie if we don't get more classic space now I am not sure we ever will

You called it I think I have done a 360 on this, the suit looks good there are a few bits I would change but over all it looks good maybe great. It is hard to see from that picture if the colors work well together. Now we now why lego gave us a white spaceman in a promo, thanks lego that or the blue one from 850423 will go straight in my set when I get it. I can see how a new color would be cool and I am sure a lot of people will love it, its just not for me, gray would have been so much better maybe they should have put 4 figs in the set each with a different color that way there would be something for everyone, it would have also made it better if you planed on getting more than one because rather than having a green army you would have a few of each. Over all I think they have done a good job and I will try and make sure I get it as soon as I can as I think could sell out lets just hope lego does more runs on this one. I would love to see more classic space I hope this is the start of something If lego did it under ideas it would also mean that we would have to play full price, win win for lego

it funny how little there has been on here recently and then we will get a picture and we will fill a few pages in a day

Hi all I have my lego out on display, the room is north facing so no direct sunlight and I have the blinds closed but it has a very large window and the blinds still let light in so the room is not by any mean dark in fact I would say its bright even with the blinds closed. My question is should I worry about the lego becoming damaged or discoloured? Thanks for the help.

that's the way I feel, one of the reason I didn't get into star wars when I got back into lego was because I had missed too much and there was too many sets I would want

I am hopping for no minifigures as there is no way I will be getting it, seems a waste of a £200 set, imagine what kind of batcave we could have got for £200, which could have come with a cool car and lot of figs.

Its not Mark I am worried about its lego wanting to use as many parts in the color that they have sitting around, look at the Research Institute, it was about getting more females in lego sets and they give one new print and just reuse the other 2, whats the point in that. Anyway a bit more on topic if you look at the telescope in that set they use two colors for the metal part and I can only think this is because they don't want to make a part in a new color. The problem with the barrel is that it is not even the same color as parts either side of it which make it stand out and look like well a barrel. I knew they would have to changed parts to make it more stable but they didn't have to change the color because I might be wrong here but I don't believe that affects how fragile a model is, we have a number of mech in diffent colors and some even with barrels, I really like metalbeard and all the colors work well together but the point of ideas is that we can get something we wouldn't get in a normal set. Any lastly yes a barrel adds texture the texture of WOOD.

Why does it need color variation, it doesn't look as good and who on earth thought a barrel in a space mech for afol was a good idea. I knew they would change things to make it work but this is making me wonder if it will be another DeLorean where it would be better completely designed by an afol or by lego but in the end we get a bit of a mess. Hope I am wrong.

a barrel in a different color to the rest of the suit is not the best start

I didn't like the green Galaxy Squad so guess I am just not a big fan but I don't think green would be a good idea given that part of its appeal it that its classic and even if we did get a new color gray could work better.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I really hope your wrong because that would just be wrong just had a look and I would go with red using the colour bars but if the whole thing was made in black and white to start with then it could be anything but its a good guessing game, the promo set and now this film does lead to it not being white.

because it looks a lot smaller than it really is they made it look like a baby polar bear but its just the same mold out of scale, it got me at first too

Thanks how did I miss that, I have seen the picture many times and it just never click that it was a fleshie, I think it looks good, wonder if they will keep it as it will be the first fleshie in an unlicensed set but if they do you make a good point that this could be the reason for the promo fig.

I was thinking the same thing but guess its off topic here is it new or have they just made the one with have look a lot smaller next to the other figs

Does anyone think the reason we are seeing a classic spaceman promo now is because we will not get a classic spaceman in the Exo suit, I hope this is the case as a classic spaceman with a modern helmet really bugs me and I would rather get an exclusive figure. Could this also be the start of something bigger like the next space line with element of classic space.

That is too good to be true, think it will just be one car and if it is I hope it doesn't have any minifigs as I wont be getting it great idea btw

brickbuilt hulkbuster is most likely as we have 2 hulks already I hope this time we get a battle damaged hulk like Leonardo in 79118
