40335 - IDEAS - Space Rocket Ride

 

Looking forward to adding the XL motor to this...

Cool set, I'm down. Wish it was double vip time though.

What's not to like.  

Time to build a grocery store and stick it in the front!

great set concept...and anyone can substitute a horse or dragon or car and still retain the movement features in a MOC

Will be easy to do.  Just put a Technic connection on the bottom of whatever you want to stick on this, and then stick it in the Technic connector.

You can motorize this very easily, as well.

What was the $ spent threshold again? Asking for friends ?

Any thoughts on this as investment potential? $99 seems kinda high, but also depends on the ceiling for this promo. I like the ideas logo. There could be a need for a completionist to get this later on.

 

Take a ride back in time with this LEGO® Ideas Moment in Space competition winner—the retro-themed Space Rocket Ride. Place a coin element in the slot and turn the sprocket to operate the ride. Includes a minifigure.

If anyone wants to trade this promo for a Benny or Sweet Mayhem brickheadz, pm me.

We need a Ricky Steamboat set

His crushed throat promos before wm3 when he couldn't talk were hilarious. 

Time to buy more US Capitols and City Hospitals!

Talk about a nostalgic little set! I may need to make an unecessary purchase just to get it.

It's time to avoid buying more U.S. Capitols and City Hospitals.  Butter my bread somewhere else...

 

It does look like it could be built by buying the parts - none of the parts look too special. We'll know better when the instructions (with parts list) become available.

Great build and one of the best "freebies" I have seen. This did not seem to change much at all from the original submission if I am remembering rightly.

I have a gut feeling this promo runs deep in numbers. Day one purchasing of anything goes against my instincts of resale. ZILCHONY on sale at SaH.  A few small gems is it.  There are some real winners right now on the market but EOL is long away.   Lunar Lander with the free patch too though has to be the choice.  For some reason I feel it will last until promo day?

Is there any info about other upcoming GWP till the end of 2019? I miss the times when there was this unofficial GWP list (2016?) or news about some promos months before they went live (Diagon Alley GWP in 2018), so you were able to plan accordingly.

If I remember correctly, they are doing away with the Lego Shop Home Calendar that was usually the indicator of the next GWP.  I guess we have to rely on leaked info to try and predict TLG's next move.
