Already got (and built) one.
I guess I should buy another one now to stick away.
Will be worth double in 12 months time unless there's a sudden explosion of availability of the green spaceman.
^ You are surely right, aleydita. But nevertheless there are already thousands of these boxes stashed away by scalpers and resellers. Many of them will make a small fortune out of these sets. I had hopes, that Lego would continue the set far longer to make a point against those ...
It appears the LEGO.com in the US & Canada is still enforcing the "limit 1 per order or household", so there is some attempt to reduce folks from hording these. I cannot say that it really works as intended though. Those who want many of these will get them.
The rest of world can purchase 5 at a time...
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Well, at least I have one...
This is a very versatile set, it can go well with any Sci-Fi MOC you are traying to make (Star Wars, GotG, Space Police, etc) and an excellent display model. Only downside is that is is pretty fragile.
I decided to finally pick it up (along with the Brids so I get the free shipping and the Demolition Driller). I hadn't realized it came with 2 minifigures and was even more surprised to find one of them being female! Maybe one day my of female minifigures will rival that of the males.
This is really sad news, I managed to get one signed buy both Pete and Mark Stafford:

I will be picking up two more on Sunday for my own Neo-Classic Space MOC's, which should be at Brick 2015!
I was planning to buy stuff to have the driller it is the good moment then !
How is that possible that you are able to get the Demolition Driller via LEGO.com? In case of Poland there is only this Bionicle related promotional set... :(
^ the same as from the Czech Republic pages :(
The offers are different in the USA. We have the driller next week.
My work mate has this and adores it. I've just bought it after reading about it being decomisioned. I will not be stashing one away I will be building it and displaying it.
Makes me consider getting a 2nd "just because". It's a cool set and would be cool to have 2 displayed together. I was at my local Lego store last weekend and noticed they had a lot on the shelves. Should have grabbed one then.
I picked up a couple from Toys R Us tonight. They had about 12-15 on the shelf. I'll build one and stash one away. Why not?
Lego should really start producing these ideas sets a lot heavier.
Is this the first time LEGO have given us an official heads-up when it comes to decommissioning a set?
Last fall i was able to order the green classic space torso from Bricks and Pieces. I have my army of them now, but I'm still wanting two more of the exo-suit. For anyone thinking that this set's sales were driven by the green classic space minifig, I could have started that way. In the end, though, the exo-suit is a superb set on its own. Well worth owning.
I fear too many Ideas sets will hurt the market. I do believe that there is "space"for more classic-themed space exploration sets though :) Exploration being the key... keep the guns as far from the space theme as possible please.
Thanks for the advice.
Picked up on Lego Shop IT few minutes ago.
I don't wanna be scalped later ;)
The Exo-suit is also currently available from Amazon at MSRP right now.
My local Lego Store had 15 on the shelf.
Either they're blowing them out or they produced a lot more than we initially believed.
