Interesting. Let the speculation begin.

I'm guessing rereleases of classic sets but updated a bit. So maybe one Classic Space, a Classic Town, a Classic Castle, etc.

I hope they bring back some of the old classic space sets or something similar

Obvious choices,  Chima Fire Bike 60th Anniv. Edition and what was that set that crazy dude with the stormtrooper avatar used to buy all the time??  Ninjacopters?? something stupid like that.  Guy sure liked Elsa too.  Weirdo...

Didn't that same dude corner the market on these? https://www.target.com/p/lego-174-building-gift-set/-/A-49153007

Good excuse to reissue sets.

This......so much this!  I will be happy with any classic space set but the monorail is the swan song of the genre...

[Stud-Flipper]

These should be the polibags to go along with the theme ?

I was thinking of doing an Ideas project on this (but lol) but this actually makes more sense - I really hope this is one of the sets!

Actually the Futuron monorail heralded in the new era of Space.  Regardless, it would be great to see Lego do another even if it meant utilizing existing Lego train tech.

I suspect it will be a re-release similar to the Legends series.

Very true...Classic space was before my childhood so I have a tendency to lump all vintage space themes in as classic space, because we haven't had a truly awesome space theme in decades.

First Modular - Cafe Corner!! (Even though it's only 10 years old..) That would certainly make my day!!

Black seas barracuda 3.0!!

1978 was a banner year for space and castle.

Interesting that we are now going to kind of relive the same sentiments that people had ten years ago around the 50th Anniversary of LEGO:

and: https://gizmodo.com/349929/best-lego-sets-in-history

Those are of course by now nearly 10 years old and lack all the awesome sets that have been released since the 50th Anniversary happened

"Show and tell" is now a crime in most states. Oh have times have changed.

My wife still has all of her Space LEGO.  Boxes and all.  So smart she is.
