If that's true we should get pictures any day now. Yes, despite previous rumours I've seen on here jjp's site also hasn't changed. In terms of price and size, as it is said to cost the same as the Police Station (US$199.99), I'd say that it will probably be a similar piece count or slightly smaller due to branding. If April 1st is correct, @Jb10bo is right, we should see first leaks pretty soon. However big exclusives are better hidden these days than they have been in the past.... Quote

People who has a lot of experience on instagram rarely use the hashtag #legoleaks when it is not... There's a bunch of random garbage purposely mis-tagged with #Legoleaks. MOCs, customs, old sets, people in the underwear, totally random images. The vast majority of pics are not actual Lego leaks. Quote

captain jari Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I've been slowly blocking anyone that posts none leaks to #legoleaks and it helps cut things down. Quote

JintaiZ Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 $199.99 should be the final price, but I'm very surprised promobricks still haven't updated their information... Quote
Vilhelm22 Posted March 14, 2021 Author Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Been a bit quiet here but I want to think about something. Sites are still saying US$199.99 and April release. IDEAS Winnie the Pooh (also 18+ so of similar importance) was first officially teased by LEGO on 3rd March and announced on the 4th, with a VIP release date of the 18th. That's exactly a fortnight before. If Columbia is an April 1st release (normally 'April 2021' means April 1st even if not actually confirmed) with no VIP early access, then it is a fortnight until its release this Thursday. Can we expect an announcement around this point? Secondly, are we 100% sure it's Columbia? I'm really asking because I, as the original creator of this thread, am the only one who can change the title, which is still just '10283 Space Set', and I don't want to change it to something it's not.

Shiva Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 If it would be an 1st april 2021 release, then some information should drop quite soon. As in the coming few days. Quote

Vilhelm22 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Posted March 15, 2021 LEGO has been a lot better at clamping down on leaks, particularly on major Expert sets, in the past couple of years. If we don’t see anything in the next ten days I’ll be surprised, but in the next two or three I would be. Quote

I’ve just updated the topic thread title from ‘space set’ to ‘Space Shuttle Columbia’ as we know it is... I'd missed that it's a Space Shuttle. That's actually a disappointment to me - none of the NASA sets interest me, since I find the source material boring. Ah well. At least I won't be so easily parted from my money! Quote
JintaiZ Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 More details are emerging, and it is exciting! Stonewars.de says that it not have a rocket booster, which means it will have a lot of nice details but also out of scale with the Saturn V. It will most likely be similar to the ideas project... Either way, really looking forward to seeing the final pictures! Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I must say, I agree the decision to make it not just any shuttle but specifically Columbia is... surprising, to say the least. Are we absolutely sure it’s Columbia? Also, any chance it could include markings for more than one shuttle? Quote
The Shuttlefan Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Blondie-Wan said: Are we absolutely sure it’s Columbia? I'll be really disappointed if it is. I guess they've gone with the fact that Columbia was the first Shuttle; but these days she's definitely better remembered for the accident. I'm also worried that it could be seen as a snub to the Challenger crew. 1 hour ago, Blondie-Wan said: any chance it could include markings for more than one shuttle? This would be ideal. Those who want to can set up a tribute to Challenger or Columbia, and those who don't (such as me) can display her as Atlantis or whatever. I'm also unhappy with the rumour that it's not 1:110 scale - I really want to put it next to the Saturn V. Quote
Shiva Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 There is a nice Saturn Scale Shuttle MOC. I wonder what size 10283 will be. Quote
ddavid Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I'm exctied, but slightly dissapointed it won't be to scale with the Saturn V rocket Quote
Space_jaco Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 If it is not to scale with Saturn V it means more detail. If you want a very nice shuttle in scale with the Saturn V rocket go for kingsknightbrick one. It is amazing. https://flic.kr/p/2k9WAW7 Quote
