It’s really an interesting set of offerings now.

I wonder how widely they are distributed to space/science/tech museums, hobby shops and toy vendors. Lego seems to have a lock on that distribution chain.

We don’t get to those places as much as we did as when our kids were tweens, but those are the places that we picked up some of the less widely available models and Lego kits. Somehow being in the shops and seeing the offerings was more motivating than looking at online catalogues for them.

Anyway, I really wish these had been available 5 years or so ago when our kids were at their peak Lego building stage. My spouse and I would have loved to build these with them. It’s good to see other families will have something to offer their kids other than SW or the very few NASA Lego sets. (The Lego techno construction machine sets just didn’t hold their attention, and only one was up for the birds and flower advanced sets.)

Now, we need to see the Protostar and the new Voyager-A kits soon please!
