LEGO Should make Space it's very own world/realm/cartoon type universe next!

I’m going to create an army of them to attack city research ships and bases. Then Lego will have to create a city space army to oppose them, creating another space war that hasn’t happened since galaxy squad!

7+?

I don’t know about these…

Sorry but that depends on the set, I just want some army builders
So I ignore 31120 and spend my money on PAB.

Lego aliens have come to take over the world!!!!

Ohw my, it is 1st of April!

If not, I simply love the white female astronaut

I totally would have bought these.

I bet this sets will Not sell well because they are GREAT and i wish lego would make more usch open ended sets but they never sell.well :(

Those landscape builds match with the ones in the City Space sets! Will definitely be picking these up

"This looks like it consists entirely of the little bricks and spare parts you find at the bottom of your lego bin."

I agree. These models look lumpy and the colors don't look nice mixed the way they are. This reminds me more of the LEGO Classic theme than Creator or Space.

Funny how these sets aren't under any particular theme. Not City, not Friends, not Classic. Literally just a plain LEGO set with the space branding.

Nah, we all know that Ninjago will completely destroy that new theme, even though it gains an extensive fanbase and amazing sets, just so they can keep cranking out their endless rehashing.

Yep, remember last years so-called "Majestic Horse"? 010423 Can't trust set release news today.

I’m particularly suspicious of the inclusion of a classic space figure (but with modern face). LEGO have already set the astronaut style for this space iteration, why go classic? I think that’s the main reason I don’t believe this just yet.

Don’t get me wrong though, I was around for original classic space, I love the new space theme, and I’d love if these sets were real and would definitely grab them. There’s a lot of cool parts here for a space themed moc I’m working on.

Ninjago hasn't done space...yet! Maybe they will get in on the fun?"

At least it would be something actually unique for once LOL

completely unrelated note...I see Brickset has images of the upcoming Sith Infiltrator set with an image of the hoped for/predicted Saw Gerrera figure. I havent checked other sites this morning, but this is the first official image i have seen...

Despite the warning labels, I'm not seeing a small ball in either of those sets.

Really clever way to expand on the fauna and flora of the current space line. Giving the spotlight to what would otherwise be side builds.

I think the astronaut and rover are unnecessary thought. I can see how they make the set more playable on its own but would have preferred more alien stuff instead. You can get astronaut stuff quite easily right now.

I i dont think the space girl and vehichule were necessary in the alien pack, i know the probably want to have some playability there, but i can see people creating their own versions of alien , even bigger ones, and having lots of fun with that, that playability enough imo

they could had included a alien minifigure there as well imo (its just 3 pieces in the end)

i really like the habit of this planet, with all those dark tan, dark orange, black , lavander... glad they make a set to expand that

Considering we also got that Minion which was a rather elaborate joke, I don't see this being one too. And it shouldn't be, as these are two nice little sets with a bunch of interesting pieces and prints. Alien Pack is easily the better of the two, but I might just get both.

I hope this is real…! I’d love to see more build-your-own terrain builds not only for Space, but other lines, too.

Doubt it LEGO Space has been around looooooooooooooong before NinjaGo, so if they deserved to have their very own world/realm/cartoon type universe let them!

These sets needs it!

That would work. But Lego does not understand that yet - we've just told them a bazillion times. Bricklink castles sell 30k copies in 12 hours (on every wave) - you'd think they'd understand: nope..."

Would it work? When the overpriced Bricklink castles sell out, that requires very little effort from TLG and nets them a pretty penny (and they're pre-orders, so the money is secured before any of the bricks need to be made). TLG taking the time and effort to make an actual Castle or Pirate line, and then waiting to get their money back....just isn't as nice of a bargain. If they can keep raking in cash from goobers who want to pay $300 for $150 worth of parts, why wouldn't they? That makes infinitely more sense than risking the time and effort to make a new theme, which isn't even guaranteed to sell (look at the last several Castle and Pirate themes)

And to be clear, this isn't a dig at TLG. They're going to learn the lessons that consumers teach them, and so far consumers have said "I will absolutely overpay for anything that's primarily grey""

It’s true, the Force the jedi- all of it, it’s all true. Kidding aside, I truly agree with all this.

@purpledave how about a line? By that we mean: 1-2 polybags, 1 set at $15, one set at $30, one set at $50, one set at $70 one set at $120 one set at $170 and one set at $250. Not: one set at $550. If Lego set itself to fail by launching a one shot deal at a price point that will attract only 10% (made up number) of the fan base, they cannot expect anything else but failure. A line is providing something for every budget. If you do something with your mind half into it, you usually get a similar result.

As for the set: what kind of traction do you get with those wheels in the sand?

Is it weird these sets will make for better garden/plant parts packs, than they do Space sets in their own right?

"I’m surprised many are buying into the theory of these being a prank… we already had the minion. And these are already listed on Lego shop."

What do you mean, we're being brainwashed into believing these products' existence!

I like the astronaut and her scooyer.

It's confusing isn't it? Everything is topsy-turvy: Up must be down, Left equals Right, Stop means Go, and cats are dogs, whereas dogs are fish. (fish are cats, if you must know!) The sky is green, the grass is blue. I'm not sitting in my chair, I'm standing on my head.... at least until tomorrow.

"Cats and dogs living together... Mass hysteria!"

@Andrusi said:"Despite the warning labels, I'm not seeing a small ball in either of those sets."

Yeah, Lego seems to have a very loose definition of "ball." But then, they consider https://brickset.com/parts/design-1744 a sphere, so maybe they all failed geometry.

@HOBBES:
They've done lines, though. Legends was in 2002. Since then, Space has had Mars Mission, Space Police III, Alien Conquest, and Galaxy Squad. Castle has had Knights Kingdom II, Fantasy Era, Kingdoms, and 2013 Castle. Pirates has had 2009 Pirates and 2015 Pirates (such effort put into those names!). Just based on the frequency with which they produced them, I'd say Space did the best and Pirates did the worst. And Ninjago probably beat all of them combined.

@TheOtherMike:
But it is a sphere. It's just falling into a singularity is all.

Weak reveal.

Hey these are fun. I think sets like these will integrate perfectly with any of the new CMF 26 Space figures. I like the alien habitat, some great foliage parts in cool colors that will also add to the Avatar sets. Also am getting a No Man's Sky vibe with the colors.

I think the new Science Lab set would also go really well with the alien habitat. You could come up with a lot of redesigns for the tree inside the bubble dome.

More purple crystals! I'm quite fond of that old crystal mold.

Did someone have fun with Dreamzzz spares?

Sets that could have been released on April 1st
76210 Hulkbuster
21337 Table Football

The last standard Pirates theme was pretty awful, though. But they blew it out of the water (pun intended) with the Imperial Flagship, PotC, Barracuda Bay and El Dorado.

IF these sets were real, then the designer has never made a white Classic Space Minifigure before:
White legs, check.
White arms, check.
White torso with Classic Space logo, check.
White Classic Space helmet, check.
White air tanks, NOPE!
That's like giving the new, Pink Space Baby a GREEN helmet and hoping nobody notices.

I really am digging the Life on Mars type of vibes the aliens are giving too. These are friendly aliens!"

That's what they want you to believe.

Even as a LEGO Space fan, I don't think I'd seek these out to buy them specifically, but I still like $15 sets like these because they're perfect for pushing over GWP thresholds. Too often I need $200 to get a GWP, and the set(s) I want only add up to $190 or whatever. That's where these sets come in to pad my order and still get something at least a little interesting.

@Ridgeheart said: "See also: James Cameron's Avatar. I just don't care for the main builds or the minifigs, but the flora is spectacular."

I absolutely adored the Avatar sets, last year. They were one of the highlights of last year's Lego line (in a year that was already full-to-bursting with highlights). The gigantic alien whale was one of the best Lego models I've ever built.

And that was happening alongside the gorgeous Batman '89 sets, or Jurassic Park's 30th anniversary builds.

These both look like real neat sets, but I'm especially quite intrigued at the variation on a Classic Space astronaut. I think this is the first time we've ever seen the Classic Space helmet (at least, as used for Space) with a head other than the classic smiley? Very interesting with that and the black airtanks they seem to be doing an explicit variation/rejiggering of a Classic Space astronaut when previously all the modern ones had all been extremely straight-up classic (obviously it's not nearly as much of a reinvention as they've done for Futuron/Space Police I, Blacktron, M-Tron, Ice Planet, etc., but still).

I love how the space buggy reminds me of those small space buggy’s from classic space. I think that’s why we got a classic ‘almost’ white space figure with it. Classic space and mixels.

I usually hate brick built creatures. but these look cute enough (also can't get enough of those 3 eyed dome face pieces).

Is this really an April 1st joke? Or are they real?

Minions from Mars.

Nice parts packs + semi-Classic spaceperson = good buy.

Lego's appallingly tacky and quite frankly naff "Space" range goes from bad to worse.

These look to be great fun. I'll take multiples of each. Mix & match to build your own aliens, very creative. Just need some white air tanks and classic smiley heads for proper astronauts.

Genuinely not sure why two near identical sets at the same price point were called for. Also strange that the astronaut uses the classic space elements, not the 2024 city space elements, and with the black air tanks too...an unholy combination

Some have if they enjoy these offerings. But there are Space fans complaining that none of these sets are Space.

"e don't have lego stores here and ordering them would of course add shipping cost + waiting and these don't excite me that much."

Shipping cost? Does Lego not have a free shipping threshold in Finland? Orders thirty-five dollars or over ship free in the U.S.

I like them. Those are the same base plates that are used with the little side builds in some of the space sets like 60431 and 60432
BUT the problem is that they are octagonal and don't tessellate perfectly!
To make a larger planet surface, the sets need to come with a set of 4x4 plates in the same colour to fill in the gaps between the larger plates

omg, these are real. Who decides to unveil new, weird sets on April Fools Day?

Don't know if it's the same in all of Europe, but here it's free shipping from over €55. And it's slow (or more expensive), and with rather poor status updates and tracking options. Lego is just about 20 years behind on other online shopping platforms....

I wouldn't want to go on a space mission with someone who thinks an air tank and jetpack are interchangeable. ;-)

It's also incorrect, because each spaceman has an air tank in a corresponding colour. There's just one grey jetpack in there. I happen to have this set since childhood.

The habitat is clearly the winner here. Also, Astro-Shirley needs a Garbage-Ship, now that's she's tasked with cleaning it.
