What's with the hostility? I've tried to drop it. If it's tired why did you bring it back up? Quote
Classic_Spaceman Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 Not specifically Space, but one of the new Harry Potter sets has a cool new bubble-crystal mould that comes in trans-purple and trans-bright green. Should be fun to use as alien flora or minerals! Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 Ok guys, let's stop the argument about the City space boxes before it goes too far. Maybe one day we'll have a clear explanation from some one from TLG. Today I plan on getting as much Ice Planet and M-tron cmf as possible, but since I don't have a good internet connexion while in my local Lego Store, I'll most likely won't use Brick Search app but just a simple QR code scanner and check the numbers in the list provided here https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-space-collectible-minifigures-71046-code-scanning-returns/ Quote

Lion King Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 If TLG would do a space-themed Advent Calendar, it would be very cute to include an energy crystal piece as a tree topper. And it would be nice to reuse that Galactic Bounty Hunter (from Series 19)‘strand-red accesssory. As a nice/naughty list for Santa. And recolor an elf’s hat for aliens. @Classic_Spaceman Quote
Fenghuang0296 Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 So, do we know when the Diner GWP is going to be available? Quote
Rolyat24 Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 Exciting news out of the LEGO Ideas review - the Ideas team has stated that the upcoming “Minifigure prize machine” set will include a classic space minifigure in a new color. This will be decided via a fan vote in the coming weeks. This could be a fun opportunity to get a fun color, like teal or lime green. Or alternatively we could get light blue to finally complete the “Everyone is Awesome” lineup for spacemen. It’ll be interesting to see the options listed in the poll and what they ultimately decide!

If I had to guess, I would say sometime during the second half of the month (third or fourth week), as May the Fourth is taking up the first part of May. Quote

CoVert Posted May 6, 2024 Posted May 6, 2024 In August 2023, there was a rumour about possibly new Blacktron spaceship in 2024. Did anynone hear something about this? Quote
MonkeyJay Posted May 6, 2024 Posted May 6, 2024 Last rumors I saw, the black ship isn't Blacktron. It would be something around Pharrell Williams Quote

I think that Blacktron spaceship is actually a spaceship from Pharrell Williams’ movie “Piece by. Piece”. As fast as I know, there would be two astronauts with about 48 hea (male and female ind ifferent flesh tones). And there would be a base that says “My Phriends”. I might be wrong. Quote

It would be something around Pharrell Williams I found the info in other sci-fi thread: 10391 [Moments Space] / $109.99 / 966 Pieces / September 20 release Description: "The set includes a black spaceship with a long trail for it to hang on to and keep it from falling off. The ship is almost all black, with a few gray parts and a gold cockpit in the front. On its wings are two symbols that represent exactly this spaceship and something that looks like a rainbow. The writing on the ship is "Atlantis Apts". The spaceship's trail (which is bigger than the ship itself) consists mostly of green, orange, blue, and pink colours, with white parts at the end. The set also includes a frame with 49 headpieces with different skin colors and many new face prints. The frame says "My Phriends" and has two black and gold space helmets. Theset includes two minifigures (with torso and leg prints); male and female. They wear gray suits and the space helmets seem to be for them Quote
arnoldtblumberg Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 No reflection on the folks posting now, who are excited to share info, and that's fine, but all this detail about the Pharrell Williams ship was posted and settled pages back. We're in a bit of a time loop. Quote

Those who tell them to use the search functions are called unwelcoming and others happily help out the lazy folk by answering directly. Quote

People can be excited to share what they've learned and not stop to think it's old news. Fan enthusiasm. :) Quote

Unless folks try to do a bit more searching for what they're looking for before asking a question (and we can't really demand that of people, although that would solve a lot of this), we're just going to be answering the same thing over and over. That's life. :) Quote
JesseNight Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 Don't phret about it (sorry, couldn't resist) The "problem" with searching is often to find the post with the solution between so many more posts from people asking the same question. Luckily it's not bad on this board, it gets far worse on boards where every such question is answered with "use the search" and you just don't find the actual answer. Quote
Lion King Posted May 9, 2024 Posted May 9, 2024 Looks like there is a space-theme set left this year and it’s Icons Moment’s Williams set. Is there any more i might overlook? Quote
