An adult set with play features and minifigs? What’s not to like?! 😄
Are the Space characters teal and gold? Or is that just my phone?
Yep, teal and gold! 🤗💕
Teal spacemen! Lego knows what they are doing!
I guess there’s a group of Lego fans who would enjoy both the play feature, and the retro shout-outs.
But as for me, I need to consider my space and funds… I might try to get some minifigs and minifig parts separately later on…
