Insect Collection great set with no stickers, excellent prints, and unique part usage, look at the Sand Green Pistol. If you can find this for 20% off or more it is a definite pickup and has a good cross-over with the Botanical sets. The flower build at the base of the butterfly is top notch. 1111 pieces but a lot of them go to the stands and displays not the actual insects. You can easily remove the insects from the stands if you wanted to play with them. The building app now gives you stats. Build: 8 Play: 6 Display: 8 Value: 7

I guess I don't have any problem with all these castles being made (though I'm personally getting a bit burnt out), but I would like to see some other themes get produced on this scale. I prefer classic space to castle, and while TLG is producing some interesting space sets, there's nothing approaching the scale of these castles that has the classic space feel. I won't even talk about what a ludicrous miss that space CMF set is. But I do think a 3k - 4k piece classic space set would do quite well - it's just a shame the BL program is starting to boil down to castle, trains and modulars. At least, that's how it feels right now. Maybe a bit of recency bias here...

Well I’m apparently wrong as my 14 year old son who hasn’t expressed interest in Lego in a couple years wants this set. I told him it was too expensive.

I was thinking the same thing! Trying to get Castle, Pirates, and Vikings in the same universe for an epic storyline. Then there’s the Aliens from the new Space sets that will need to make an appearance (given what we’ve gleamed from the Ancient Aliens tv show).

There is a target market for classic space theme. This does not hit that market. Is the second figure holding a pot of mashed potatoes?

Will wait for actual pics to make a final judgement, but this seems like a giant swing and a miss. Seems like they tried to play homage to the space themes, but these just don't really do it for me. Definitely will get pink space baby, of course, but without any figs really going back to classic days, I'll pass on them for the most part. I like to see they continue to work with trans pieces for figures, makes me think we may get those force ghosts yet.

I see that compressed to heck & back image and think of....
