    I would like to know if Lego ever releases the production numbers for GWP. I have only been collecting for a little over a year and this set and the Forestman’s Hideout are my favorite at this point. I got my first one with purchase and I picked up two more on EBay. I want to open and play with one. I hope that there are other ways to get the space babies. They need to make the other colors so they can be added to the set. Need a team for the “playpen” and all the vehicles. They need mini equipment as well.

      @@henribg1 I bought a bunch of blue space baby heads from Pick a Brick. They were not selling the torso. I bought a few torso’s from Brick Owl. I will look to see if they are selling any of these versions on Pick a Brick. I don’t think they sell them in the Lego Store and the closest Brick and Minifig to me is Cherry Hill, which is several hours away. I guess I could put in an online order and then go to the Lego Store and purchase another $200.00 of Lego to get another set but there are not that many sets I want. The Irony for me is that these little space and castle sets are the ones I want. Would love to know the production numbers for these GWP. My guess is that they are not that limited.

    These space sets always remind me about an old lego ripoff set I had sometime in 2005-2010. It was a copy of the set 6339, Shuttle launch pad, which came out in 1995! The set itself is very nice in size and functions.

The titanic was awesome. Truly changed my perception of Lego. Too bad it can’t come with me and has to stay at my parent’s house.

    All criticisms of GWPs would die if they just sold most of them seperately some time later. Like a couple months or half a year.
    It would mean the sets are ACTUALLY GIFTS instead of 200 dollar sets of 300 pieces. Given the fact that both plenty of people will spend for the threshold anyway AND the people who won't will buy it later makes it just blatantly anti consumer to do the current system.

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  10 месяцев назад +2

      Profitable doesn't always mean consumer friendly. We perfectly understand the purpose of the GWP system, but it could be done in a way that still encourages early adopters to spend $$ to get the set as a gift, but others could simply buy it I the shop 3-6 months later as a regular set.

    This is a really fun throwback to Classic Space. Definitely like this a lot better than last years Blacktron release which I passed as well as most of the GWPs. Might schedule this one for later in the month as it would be a great time to either get the BTTF DeLorean of Optimus Prime Icons sets. Definitely excited for the Speed Champions wave in March though that R2D2 is pretty high on the list too.
