naf Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here is a Brickset review on this exclusive promo. Someone there noted that the little robot is exactly the same from 6931 - FX Star Patroller. 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).

Neosphinx Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biniou Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 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.

peter_m Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenbart Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Will this do better than Mini Mini?

minicoopers11 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm looking forward to this. So glad it is coming to North America...I was honestly getting concerned for a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biniou Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 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. 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.

Alpinemaps Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 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 just a white Space guy. What am I missing? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the collectors out there (and for us as investors), I see it from that side, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamhappyfrog Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
