LEGO just renewed the 10-year license in 2022, IIRC, so I doubt that these sets are being made with the 2032 renegotiation in mind.
 

oof is that why the licensed-set markup just notably shot up?

[Lion King]

Or Lego will let the renewed Star Wars license expired earlier?

I would like LEGO to introduce a new color,  for the astronauts, for every wave.

Rainbow Astoranauts anyone? Would be perfect for June.

So last night I built the truck from 60434 that everyone says is underwhelming. After building it I like it much more; the shape and design of the cab is pretty great. But I think I know exactly what's "wrong" with it. It needs an extra set of wheels between the existing wheels. As a six wheeler it looks perfect.

Nice! Six wheels definitely helps it feel more "spacey". I still think I might try modding it to use those hard plastic wheels, though (and those might be slightly too big to fit in a row of six like this).

6 wheels - what about 12? or even 18 ... COULD it be a mini mini rover consist of 3 modules... all linked together...

Yeah that looks better with 6 wheels, but after seeing review, the way the cab is built is indeed really nice, sideway tiling at 4 wide is a nice modern way to build.

I just got the first City Space set and it’s the Spae Hoverbike polybag. I built it this evening. 

Oh boy, it looks pretty cool even tho it’s just a polybag set. I love the way it’s built and how futuristic it looks. It kinda reminds me of Rock Raider Hoverbike set but not too similiar.  I don’t realize that the helmet / headgear is a new piece but I like it!

I’m waiting of the Space Interselllar set to arrive. I’m thinking about picking up Rover & Alien Life and Construciton Mech sets but not sure yet. 

[legoturtle]

Can I ask how you found those polybags? Good job! 

[Artanis I]

6 wheels looks more of an improvement than it sounds

We have been seeing price increases across the board, though.

I would love a Classic Space version of Everyone is Awesome. 👍

not bad...  I try to find polybags also... no luck yet.

Aha! Yeah, I broke down and bought some off Bricklink a couple nights ago. It's just impossible to find polybags anywhere near me.

Obligatory WHAT. HAPPENED?

Although, if they're cute, at least it should stop the human minifigs from massacring them and we avoid a violence-based Space theme.

They are available at all Toys-R-Us locations in Canada. I purchased 2 myself.

[Mondo-TRON]

Where are the polybag found in-store, in the US.?

Will they be on LEGO on line stores?

This is what I want. It would make purple official and they could add the pale blue or grey. Or a CMF series.

 

 

They could do this set or a 2024 City Space version for International Space Day

Well look the difference in aliens... LIKE night and day. Friendly aliens... mmm... I hope the LORE continues... another alien race maybe, in different planet. BIGGER Interstellar spaceship! Mother ship even!

What are you referring to? The aliens appear to be the same species; the Friends/4+ ones are just chonkier. 
 

[legoturtle]

 Capo di tutti capi = the BOSS of all the bosses 

Evolution of aliens, from bad guys to pets... "friendly aliens". In a long run this is not good news for us. WE NEED ALSO a bad alien faction - bad guys. They need a BASE and a mothership... simple as that.

Or... can someone explain who is this guy? Is there more LORE behind the "Friendly Aliens" -faction.....

 

 

[Artanis I]

I only just saw that the minifigs all have the same torso & legs, regardless of the helmet/arms/accessory colour.

Adding your own faction colour is a piece of cake. Most obvious starting points are black and red, but any colour that a decent helmet comes in...

[Lion King]

We have seen knights against rival knights, we have seen pirates against governors / imperial soldiers, we hae seen police offers against crooks, we havee seen dream chasers against nightmare creatures, we hae seen ghost hunters against evil spirits.

i guess it migh be a time for us to see humans against evil aliens then. 

[Autumn]

I think the cute friendly aliens are fine. Not everything needs to have conflict or be "good v bad," especially when it's been done many times before. It gives it an old school Lego vibe of simply peaceful exploration with fun builds and vehicles.

We have seen that too ;).

It occurred to me that a good role for another color of astronauts could be "ambassadors" who would specialize in communicating with aliens. I suppose that could fall under the science or exploration fields but it feels like it would be its own thing.

Although there is no new Space theme (not City, Friends, DUPLO, Technic, CMF, etc) so it might explain why there are no bad aliens in Space sets this years. 

But I enjoy stories revolutions around heroes and villians.

Picked up the 6-wheeled rover to go with the construction mech. The windscreen was scratched, which sucks, but otherwise I love it! There are some great printed pieces in these sets. The only thing I would question is putting your vehicle's fuel cells right in the middle of two massive wheels kicking up dirt and rocks  I guess it's not necessarily an explosive energy source, but still...

Seeing a pile of black, orange and sand blue pieces did remind me of the Titan XP, and by extension the Creator Surveillance Drone (?) from a few years back. In the 'canon' of LEGO Space, such as it is, I wonder if the two factions could be somehow related. Perhaps separated by a few centuries when the robots have taken over!
