I also read that VIPs can exchange 1800 points during purchase of this set, to get an additional payload satellite model added to it. And yes, 21309 would literally skyrocket if it hadn't been re-released. Of course, this Space Shuttle was already in the works by then, so LEGO knew they had to re-release it to cater to the NASA / Space fans who had missed out on it and would want it still when this set would be released.

Yes, it is the Porsche wallet This is an amazing set. 4:50 in the video the designer says there is an Easter egg what set is that a shadow of in the background?

Looks like the ISS to me, but I have no clue. Why do they have patches on that are blurred out in the video? Look at the "uniforms" they are wearing. Maybe they're going to do a mission patch, like they did with the Apollo 11 set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Very well done set and will look great next to the Saturn V rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I bet this was the main reason Saturn V was re-released / re-numbered (FU to resellers was additional bonus). Saturn V was shown as background (real and silhouette) throughout the Designer Video The set looks great. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelian Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm thinking hard whether to buy more 60229's at RRP to ride on this space wave, fairly hard to find set which is rarely discounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxio Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 From Brickset article: "In addition, VIPs will be able to purchase an exclusive item with their points; an Ulysses Space Probe, available for 1,800 VIP Points, which the Space Shuttle Discovery also deployed in 1990 on a mission to scan the Sun. Limited stocks available." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd advise to steer clear. Bought a bunch from target at 90$ and could not unload for a profit. Doesnt seem to be popular and is still in stock at msrp months after peers retired.

oneknightr Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Beautiful set! A home run but I have a feeling this won't be retired for a long time. This should help 10231 rocket even higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost sold both of them in advance of this new set and glad I didn't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky part is to guess when the re-release with new number is going to be, late 2024 or early 2025 ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
