LEGO announced the results of the first 2024 review stage yesterday.  The Minerals Display set was the only one chosen for production.

Personally, this is lost on me.  Looks like it could be a nice parts pack, but I prefer the birds or the bugs sets over this - and I wasn't exactly overwhelmed by either of those.  It just feels like LEGO is backed up with Ideas sets to produce, some of them rather large in size, and they decided to take a pass on this entire round.

Both builds fit the look of their respective titles. Pantasy has a classic styled gumball machine, LEGO is a gashapon esque minifigure vending machine akin to those I typically found towards the front of a grocery store. From a glance of overall design, LEGO's is simpler and from the side angles rather full & fat. While not an official Minifigures series release, the vending machine feels like buying a complete set plus a build to boot. (Pricy still no matter how you slice it.) Nice throwbacks with the Paradisa and Fabuland torsos. The capsule pieces are intriguing. Also, classic spacemen in pearl gold & teal for the win.

I could see replacing all the minifigures in the capsules with microscale builds similar to the advent calendar sets when displayed as I rather enjoy showing the characters on their own traversing my cityscape or otherwise.

What is the official color of the Teal space figure? I have a display based on the everyone is awesome of just space figs and want to add the right color stripes to it.

Darn! I was afraid of that. Neither of those colors exists in the drop downs under any of the parts required. Looks like Dark Turquiose and Warm Yellowish Orange are about the closest, though neither is a match

LEGO officially goes by bright bluish green whereas Bricklink has it as dark turquoise. Additionally, Bricklink would have the other spaceman as pearl gold I believe.

Thanks for that confirmation. That was my guess as I was going through Bricklink.

i have ordered all the bits required for stripes additions to the display for the two new figures plus the dark blue, as i see they are coming out with a dreamzzzzz set that has the helmet and tank in dark blue. 
 

no idea why i like the classic space figures so much, but i do
