"Both message boards seem to be constructed with 16x16 plates as the base - 2 in case of the purple one, 4 for the blue one. A frame seems to then be build around it to hold it all."
Thanks! You're right, I looked closer and noticed the seams. Definitely getting 41951, then.

City Space is great I agree, but that tiger... I do not like it :(

41949 appears to have letter tiles included, making it a cheaper alternative to 41938 and it seems to come with more letter tiles too!

I think new Creator sets are pretty swell.

Not so hot on Space ones. The rover is esp. ugly. Is it a sticker on the flag and vizors made of "Kinder Surprise" capsules ?

That Lunar Gateway is real nice.

I'd consider getting 60350 - looks pretty good. Not so sure about the other Space sets.

Interesting that there's a Control+ set in there...

I haven’t built the Lego Art sets before so I am unfamiliar: Are the corners of 41951 and 41952 new pieces?

You're comparing 10 euro and 15 euro sets with something that costs 50 euro."

Okay…Creator sets look average compared to similarly priced Creator offerings from previous years. That wizard owl is no cheeky monkey, pooping parrot or mighty dinosaur.

I don’t know what a gelandefahrzeug is, but it looks cool.

Also more SPACE! is always a good thing, though it seems like the wheels on that rover are going to go all over the place. The minifigs look great, though, and that four stud backpack piece looks awesome.

These look good.

Oh my Lego widow is so not going to be happy with me next year.......she didn't speak to me for nearly a week after I bought the Titanic :/

cool stuff to look forward to ^_^ and i'm oddly excited about those message boards

"I was certain that moon rover set was something super vintage, and yet I was baffled by the helmet pieces which looked so modern... I guess that's bad magazine picture quality for you!"

At first I thought it was another Creator rover. The style and color scheme is so different from the last City Space theme I'm not sure if they will fit together.

I would prefer if they made a new Space theme - the last one, Galaxy Squad, was in 2013.
If they're releasing new City Space then I suppose we won't see that for quite a while still.

In 2022 dots set 41942 will have transparent blue 1/4 CIRCLE TILE 1X1 (25269 Tile Round 1 x 1 Quarter) for the first time. Interesting will we have more of transparent colors in future? wish we will have all dots sets here.

especially new corner parts... they will fit nicely in house building etc...

I'm such a sucker for these, I have the recently retired wired motor/light, then I keep hoping to get my kids to do something amazing with Scratch and Boost, and now I am thinking "maybe Scratch+Boost is too hard and I should try Control+.

will probably get all creator sets, except tiger, supermech, plane)

Love the Friends Beach set but need to see interior.

"Personally, I'd like to see a 3in1 town house again. Yay to the space sets!"

it shoul be in second half of a year... 31131 [Nudelshop] probably this)

I went there, and frankly, the most interesting thing I saw was a flying owl that’s not white (or gold). Not to disparage the rest, but variety of flying owls is something I’ve had on my mind quite recently, as I think I figured out how to pose mail owls carrying letters on a layout,

Honorable mention goes to the purple book...

It is Classic Space! No factions, simple colour schemes and sets based around space exploration rather than battles. Admittedly, slightly more realistic renditions than 80s space, but I’m sure I can remove the visors and cockpit windows and give them all walkie talkies!"

I'm afraid it's not. It's still labeled as City and the rocket in 60351 has a NASA logo.

I'll probably buy it nonetheless because I love Space, even in its City form, but I miss aliens, factions, guns and the multitude of transparent pieces.

Super-Mech? Try Shogun Warrior!

Star wars theme was not included in catalogue ?

I'm so excited for the Skywalker Saga which has been delayed for too long. Should be epic!

Not a lot here for me, but I'm definitely in on the anime super robot!
The dolphin also catches my eye, but not something I need.

60348: Hey, come back with my chainsaw!

Creator looks amazing for next year. Loved the jet, the turquoise car, the mech and the owl (along with the already known tiger). Technic also got some great sets. And the City Space sets are truly impressive.

Disappointed that we got nothing of Speed Champions or Star Wars and very few of Ninjago in that catalog.

@MutoidMan said:
"Super-Mech? Try Shogun Warrior!"

I knew I recognized that design from somewhere, but I didn't know what name to put into the search engine. Thank you!

I am glad City Space is finally moving away from another launch site and into more expandable habitual moon colonies in 60350 (following the numerous submissions on Lego Ideas), with those fantastic new quarter hemisphere trans blue roof pieces. Although I would have preferred a normal slide up garage door rather than the Technic Landrover wheel arch so that it could be closed and more easily used in other builds. The side living quarter pods also need to be a little larger, as although a detailed lab or spacesuit changing room they seem very cramped even if it meant losing the drone and trolley.

I like the look of the new space sets but 60349 Mond-Raumstation looks to be heavy on the stickers? I reckon I can see (and assume replication on other side for some) about 15 stickers and I suspect the astronaut backpacks might have one each too? With three different solar panels I doubt Lego are going for any of them as printed parts.
Also I wonder about connecting the last batch of space sets to these new ones? I would be very dissapointing if it's not possible.

"How does being labeled as City make it not Classic Space?"

Really seems like we're witnessing the classic space origin story.

I'm not really hot on any of these sets. Space are fine overall but the rover is kind of ugly...and not in a charming, utilitarian sort of way. The autonomous logging vehicle (?!) is a really weird subject choice, IMO.

"I’m actually quite interested in the new large canopy piece for those gimmick spinners. They seem to be a lot larger than the old Airjitzu ones and fully rounded too. Very curious to see how the top will connect, I’m afraid it’s yet another new connection but we’ll see.

Also that owl is extremely reminiscent of some very old kids’ cartoon show (pretty sure it was done with dolls even) that my parents used to watch back in the day. It was about an owl much like this telling stories to other animals in the forest about this place called ‘Fabeltjesland’ where animals were in a society and such. It simply cannot be a coincidence that there’s a book with the owl, LEGO couldn’t have added such an odd specific detail if it weren’t for source material demanding it. Does this sound familiar to anybody else?

Also the brand of chainsaw in the Technic all-terrain vehicle is… well, I don’t have words for it really. Have a look yourself haha."

Exactly, Meneer de Uil was the first thing I thought of when I saw it! I'll give him a recolour in dark azure and bright light orange.

It's a 6x6 ATV like this: https://atv.polaris.com/en-us/sportsman-6x6-570/"

That set makes a whole lot more sense now I've seen that. It certainly isn't immediately obvious to me from the photos.

The (new?) space suits of the astronauts look good. I like this moon rover too.

The new Dots sets look neat!

But it's the closest damn thing you are ever going to get."

That's not the issue he had with it though, he pointed to the label. Like, Classic Space was labeled with Legoland, as was Castle and City at the time

Same. It doesn't translate very will without a figure of some sort. The chainsaw does make a bit more sense, though. Still a strange choice.

The space sets look decent enough. The last space sets did too and I still skipped them. Too many sets to buy, not enough money.

Looks like Harry Potter will be the only thing to spend money on for me in 2022 until later in the year. Maybe I can take a break from spending (j/k haha)

I don't see why Lego decided to split up the Ninjago sets. I'd get it if there were a decent amount of them or if they were divided between subtheme like they did this year (with Legacy in January and the Island sets in March), but the only stuff releasing in March this time is one set that connects with the Dojo releasing in January, plus those three spinners.

If this is March, its going to be a bleak lego birthday for me, unless I take the opportunity to get sets I considered maybe's behind last year's lot of expensive sets that were released around then this year.

60351 may have a Nasa logo but the two sets above both appear to use the Classic Space logo.

That rover seems to be a modern remake of 6901 Mobile Lab from Classic Space. 6x6 wheels, sloped front window, manipulator in front, spotlight and antenna on top. That's a definite must have for me. I played with the Mobile Lab nonstop for years as a kid.

The Space sets are very exciting!

@mr_Fikou:
Who in the forest would ever be reading a book, but the “wise old owl”? My brother had a kid’s calculator/math training device that was shaped like an owl.

@Kynareth:
After decades of infighting, one color finally emerged victorious over the rest...

@Stoker_stu:
There already are 2-3 printed solar panels, and they still opted for stickers? Even I can’t scrape up a nugget of logic there...

As a person who's getting into mecha, I appreciate the super-mech. It looks pretty inspired by 70s mecha and I love that.

How does being labeled as City make it not Classic Space?"

Because (Classic) Space was it's own theme with sub-themes. Similar to Castle, Pirates, etc.
I guess you could say Classic Space has it's own Lego Dimension.
Of course, this would make 70841 part of the Lego Movie Dimension and not Classic Space.
Hmm...

Love those space sets, and most of the Creator sets look fun too. The Technic ATV and the small telehandler also look like fine sets with decent functionality for their price.

I actually do quite like the Control+ set too, looks like a lot of fun to play with. But the price alone (and the fact it doesn't come with a remote control included) makes it a rather terrible replacement for good old 42095 Stunt Racer. There's just so little to justify that €50 price increase....

I had hoped to see the rumoured creator Viking longboat.

Great City sets - and looks bigger then this year space themed City which is cool.
But...
Picture of 41952 in German catalogue with AH's quota from "Triumph of the will" (1935) documentary about establishing "thousand year state"? Big, big, big mistake....

Looking at that and seeing a Nazi quote is on you. The phrase "the future is ours" is common and has been used by Barack Obama and Cesar Chavez too. Don't worry too much about it - it's just a garden-variety inspirational motto."

Well yes - but being a part of a country and people who suffered a lot from nazi - I do see the use of these words by TLG as an insult. Stronger then endless discussions about awesomeness.

So LEGO cancelled the Osprey Technic set, because it was deemed a military set, but now go ok with that 31126 fighter jet? I'm missing the logic behind their choices.

Military-styled aircraft in a real-world warfare setting are off-limits, but high-performance aircraft with much implied overlap with military styling have been allowed in airshow colors since at least year 1996, set 6331, name Patriot Jet, theme Town. There have been about a dozen brightly colored fighter jets in City and Creator in the last five or six years alone.

Actually, the Dutch one was reading the newspaper. Thanks for pointing out that it's normal for owls to read books ;-)

Like the look of the City Space sets and the blend of NASA and Classic Space logos is a nice touch - and I think the closest we are going to get to a Classic space range in contemporary Lego. Would though love to see crater sets like 305 released with a modern twist but think that’s one for Bricklink.

I love the plantlife coming out of that Ninjago Training Grounds set.

That Super Mech seems interesting. Based on the colors it looks like you fuse the plane and dragon builds together to make the mech rather than it being a 3-in-1, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.

Those Classic sets have a helicopter with the Power Miner's color scheme and a micro Viking Longboat. Pretty neat!

Never collected Jurassic Park/World but new color dinos is always a plus!

Looks like a great chance to catch up on the 2021 sets I have not been able to get. And pay off my aching credit cards.

Btw, the catalogue does not mention an owl. It says: Waldfabelwesen, German for: Forest fantasy creature.

Really liking this new space theme. I did expect a space shuttle instead of the smaller space station but I'm not complaining.

Those space sets look great but Im baffled as to how these sets are part of the city line... I'm not sure they will look right next to your police station and town center...

Yah! been after a LEGO John Deere tractor for ever. https://youtu.be/dbykPS13UEE

That 31124 Super Mech...Isn't that basically Mazinger?

Hogwarts Moments sets for Trelawney’s Divination and Mad-Eye Moody’s Defense Against the Dark Arts? Yes, please!

The hospital wing set looks a little less impressive, but it’s hard to tell from a single pic.

The city emergency sets have the new Fluro Yellow colour.

Yes! Meneer de Uil was the first thing that popped into my mind! So cool, I grew up with that and I'm totally gonna build a blue version (even though purple is my favorite color, haha).

I thought the same thing but took a closer look at the legs and the front leg/wheel looks like it might lock into place...there's a small opening where it looks like something would snap into place. I do like both Space sets...the rover is nifty.

Hard disagree. The tiger (and Christmas penguin) launched me into a love for brickbuilt animals and I'm so excited for the dolphin and owl. Probably gonna get 3 of the dolphin and at least 2 of the aquarium.

Kind of worried the Tiger's gonna be an unrealistic standard now. Not much is ever gonna compare

Only thing I'm not 'crazy' about: what's with the Space Logo's 'look'...is getting pricey to print 'gold'. And yes, know there've been 'mods' to that logo (Intergalactic Girl uniform is slightly different, as is the Space Miner...), but in 'overall': Gold w/Red...I mean: it's on their uniforms...
