Is this a new baby? Seems like the logo on the torso is blue, not gold like these other. Anyway, cool set.

Do want!

I don't have any points, so I guess I can't buy it..

I just used up my points.

Oh cruel fate!

Pretty but not for me, especially if released as a GWP with a stellar threshold.
I think I need a real minifig scale monorail. Please make a re-edition of it at a reasonable price, as done with the Galaxy Explorer and the Blacktron renegade.

Not quite as cool as 40712, but I do still really like it. Just hope they keep it below 1434 points....

If they restrickt it to one for each customer it should be available for some time.
That did the trick for Tic-Tac-Toe

LOVE this! Absolutely takes me back to my childhood with the blue and gray colors.

Not sure I'm into the mix of CS and Futuron color schemes... but obviously I'll have to get it. I love this micro trend, it's easier on the wallet and the display space!

"...If the decorated parts are printed all is not lost..."

Unfortunately, that does not seem likely given precedent and close inspection of the available image. @R0Sch beat me to it.

I really love these throwback sets, even though Classic Space was an era that passed me by. (1st heard of Lego Monorail in 2016!)

1969 Legoland nostalgia next please!

I thought the monorail description was a goof on Lego’s behalf, but I’m glad to see it’s just Brickset throwing it around.

@Chilis_no said:
"What we REALLY want is this in minifigure scale.., aka MONORAIL! "

Totally agree!

Make normal size Classic Space set, not like this little s...

Are those 1x2 bows new in transparent colours?

I hope it won't cost too much point

If they're going to reintroduce a monorail system, maybe they could also reintroduce space base plates. Definitely tempted to take this set (maybe a couple) and build out a full space base on my classic space base plates.

I've been waiting for this!

@VictorvanSchagen said:

Whereas I have been hoarding my points, only getting the occasional polybag, in anticipation of this and the other set from the Ideas competition.

@ra226 said:"Not sure I'm into the mix of CS and Futuron color schemes... but obviously I'll have to get it. I love this micro trend, it's easier on the wallet and the display space!"

As @PurpleDave has pointed out repeatedly, there was no single unified color scheme in Classic Space. My first Lego spaceship, 6780 , had a Classic Spaceman pilot, but the Futuron color scheme.

Depends how well they are serviced and lubricated. Mine sounds quite decent.
Then again I am a model railroader as well, so. I know my way around these kinds of small motors and their servicing.

I'll be buying it, and then ordering printed third party pieces so I don't need the stickers.

A neat blast from the past.

i think that's just blue light coming through the monorail window tinting how the chest logo looks

@HOBBES said:
"Oh my!

How about that for scaling down. If the decorated parts are printed all is not lost...

Will still get it when the time comes.

(probably 70 parts just for the tracks)
"

If those are prints, I might have to get 2 or 3 to make a bigger base out of them.

I hear those things are awfully loud...

I’ll get two if I can and connect them.

Not sure if I’ll combine both trains to make one long one or have two separate vehicles.

Was hoping for a red figure this time around, but I like the set.

Mono means one and rail means rail."

This reminds me of a joke by Norm MacDonald; he goes: ID is a strange abbreviation. I is short for I. And D is short for (pause) dentification. So, It seems to me that D is doing most of the legwork on that one. (Obviously the delivery is quite key for a joke like that)

I love Classic Space and own many sets, but I have no interest in this baby scale sets. Why can't we just get a modern classic space sets instead.

Nice catch!

I don't like that train cab. It doesn't look right / well put together. Planning to get it but modify that part... well... maybe not only that part. that rail could use a lot more mono-ing.

@CapnRex101 said:

Hydro means water, city means city.

These micro classic space sets are so cute — I love 'em!

Yeah, probably. Wouldn’t possibly don’t make much sense with a light blue logo, but I don’t see them reuse the figure twice either. We’ll have to see then.

It glides as softly as a cloud

We need a properly upscaled version with ~3000 parts and working motor for reasons.

Inconceivable!"

Anybody want a peanut?

I would PAY for it, if it wasn't chibi-scaled. I wouldn't even mind if it didn't come with any train.

@BlackFalconBirdman said:

Definitely not monorail. Mono-a-monorail, perhaps.

I'm usually pretty positive about Lego's space reissues, but this one is pretty mediocre in my view.

I understand the original fan design needed to be scaled down because the mini space figures don't look quite right with the 4 stud-wide monorail. But I think the windscreen assembly is just dreadful, and the 2 stud wide vehicles look like they've lost a lot of aesthetic quality and functionality compared to the fan deisign. The station similarly looks uglier and more poorly proportioned than the fan design. And it's clearly all stickers except for the minifigure torsos.

The one thing I do like is the track: the 3 stud wide tiled surface with the middle stud indented - I guess sort of an inverted monorail design - is pretty cool and more streamlined than the roller coaster track used in the fan submission.

Unless the number of points required to get this is lower than I am anticipating, I just think this is a bad set.

Is there a chance the track could bend?

He's even going out of his way to produce them, and using one as body armor.

You mean the original monorail track?
That's extremely rigid, I don't think it would bend under normal circumstances.

The original by Falkorich invites kids to expand, to add a destination building on the route that expands on "play". This thing is a sad loop that goes nowhere and doesn't invite to expand on. Horrible set not Lego Worthy imho.

What happened to the winning idea with useful roller-coaster track and carriages, which could have being expanded by combining with other track or included as a fun playable sci-fi extension zone in the Ninjago City of lanterns as the original also mini-fig size.

Hey, now. Watch it. Gonzo the Great is a weirdo. Spliff Bro doesn’t get to be put in the same category as Gonzo.

It is a pity that the space baby was already available in that colour!!

Well, the thing that happens to all winning Ideas entries happened: It got the designers treatment.

No, the original used a babyfig. https://brickset.com/article/107183/space-themed-lego-insiders-reward-contest-winners!

so, not a mono-rail, but it is at minimum a 'mono' figure

Will be picking this up as soon as it's available, need to check my VIP points balance.

Not on your life, my AFOL friend!

Not on Lego rewards as yet.......

Not showing up in the rewards center in the US either. The regular release new sets are showing up though, so wondering if this is really supposed to be released on the 1st.

For anyone who has reached the end of this thread, and is confused by some of the disjointed conversation, you may want to check out Season 4, Episode 12 of The Simpsons.

And for anyone for whom that episode is your entire knowledge of monorails, you may want to check out the Disney world monorail that has been running ever since 1971, or the Chongqing monorail, which carries nearly a million people a day and was well chosen for its job of running over uneven terrain.

What about us brain dead slobs?

Yeah, not sure how many will still want it when LEGO announces the (likely) large amount of points it will take to get such a tiny set.
Its likely to cost an awful lot of points for a bunch of pieces and a sticker sheet.

Still not in Europe. The speculated 1 March release date may have been optimistic.

The "speculation" is based on a blog post on the Lego Ideas website from yesterday:

"This LEGO Insiders Reward will be available from the 1st of March, for 2000 LEGO® Insiders Points as long as stocks last. For full details of the promotion, please visit LEGO.com from the 1st of March, 2025."

Hi!

Not available at Spain (continental Europe) at the end of march, 2nd :(

Where is it? Supposed to be on insiders Mar 1?

@MisterBrickster said:

No

This is up now. 2,250 points and it will be added to your next purchase.

@TBScorchers said:

Also available in Luxembourg and thus the whole of Europe I assume.

Is this based on an old set? Like a scaled down version or just an evocation of the old space monorail sets?

@super_curry_max said:

6990 was the first set to use the monorail system, and that set came out after Classic Space was over and done with, so it's an evocation.

Still available in Belgium now (21h20)

Redeemed mine, max 1 per household.

I prefer the previous Classic space GWP where I can just place multiple orders to get multiple sets, this one can only redeem one.
