Ok, I think this mini-set deserves its own topic.

I'm not sure that US members are all aware about its existence.

 

Remember the classic LEGO Space

My pleasure.

The banner has been removed from the LEGO Shop at Home, maybe because the stock is running low.

I received my first one this morning, I did not have opened it yet. The box is so soft to the touch, it's really nice.

 

I had the same sentiment when I received mine. The box is so nice it would be a shame to open it. One of the best 'freebies' I got so far from TLG

Yeah, it's a really nice item. I sold one for

This set will be available from september 1st to 14th in the US (for any purchase more than $99) so I'm tempted to resell 2 of my sets right now for

Oh well. I picked one up for $25 last month. Wasn't sure if it was coming here. Is it worth $25? Hells now on me.

Still, it's an awesome little giveaway. As others mentioned, box design is excellent & the contents are nice.

Great little set.  

I'm hoping to get a couple.

Saw this coming as September's give away.

Will this do better than Mini Mini? I am in two minds whether to get GE with Mini right now or wait till September for this little space buddy.

It's more limited... It's had it's promo in Europe, only for North Americas next I believe.

I'm looking forward to this. So glad it is coming to North America...I was honestly getting concerned for a couple weeks.

Are you 100% sure? That would be shame...

Well, I think that set will be more limited than the mini-me mini-mini.

 

Plus, that set is more "cool" because it's in a box and have a booklet. Nothing to be compared with a polybag.

 

And (IMO) the mini-mini is stupid, ugly and useless. The mini-van was ok but that mini-mini is a total disappointment.

 

At least, the space astronaut can fit in the exosuit (for fans of the original project), and it is a minifig, not some bricks put together to make a random mini lego city set which looks like any random car.

Here is a quick review by The Brick Fan

One of my first Lego sets as a kid.... love that ship!  I had it on my shelf until recently (I rotate the display sets on a regular basis).

I love old Space sets.  The control panels and translucent pieces were my favorites of all time.  

Read on the news link, someone thinks it may be us/Canada in September.

yup got one yesterday for spending $100. sold already for 24 w/ free shipping

I don't know why but I am just not a classic Space guy. Just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

 

I am a classic Space guy; I remember spending hours play Space Lego.  Loved it.  But this particular one is just "meh" for me, too.  It's just a white Space guy.  What am I missing?

Need these to complete scenes from Cloud Cuckoo Land.. : )

 

I say this somewhat jokingly, but in all seriousness the white space guys shows up multiple times in the movie and I think that will help this figure.

It's the whole package...the spaceman, the little booklet, the nice box etc. and the fact that it's limited. It's a nice little collectable item.

But as a set, then yeah, it's just a white spaceman with a little robot, if that's how you want to look at it.

For me, that's how I'm looking at it.  For the collectors out there (and for us as investors), I see it from that side, too.

Has anybody scanned the whole booklet? Would love to see it!

The classic space fig is only available until 9/14. Isn't this a pretty short time frame for a freebie, most are a month.

I know for a fact that the promo was available in Europe in July or August, but I'm not sure how long it was available.

I bet they might even run out before that as well. 

I will be holding the ones I pick up. I see it going for more than it currently does in the not too distant future.

Just stroke the box... feel the softness of it...love the box!

I've got 2 on the way so far. One with a T1 and one with 3 advent calanders. Going to try to get a couple more before they are out.
