Thanks to an overly generous wife I think I have every single set in the current lineup that I want Now I just have to find the time to assemble the thing!
Looking forward to seeing the Ideas Saturn V set which should be revealed later this week. Only issue is that it would be kinda hard to find a place to display it since it's apparently about 1 meter tall.
I'm also getting a little worried that they will skip the Creator Expert car this year since:
-They haven't discontinued any of the previous models yet making it 4 current sets (VW Camper, Mini, F40 and Beetle)
-The Ideas Caterham is almost also a Creator Expert car and was released just last autumn
-In previous years the first info on the F40 and Beetle started popping up in the start of April but absolutely nothing on a new car in the rumour mill yet

Holy moly is that thing cool. It turned out much better than I thought it would. Cool little addition of the microfigure astronauts. It's pretty great value too with 1969 pieces for ? 120/ $ 120.
Edit: Someone on another forum pointed out that the piece count in itself is a little easter egg. Very clever
First picture of this years Creator Expert vehicle is out.
It's a larger set than usual in this series with 1680 pieces (normally 1100-1350) and reportedly a higher price point as well at $ 120 (normally $ 100).
It's going to be the longest and tallest set at 34 cm and 18 cm. For comparison the Mini is 25 cm and the T1 Camper is 30 cm. I'm not even sure it will fit in my display case along side the others
Since my goal is to have a complete collection of the series I'm going to get it, but I would have liked something a little more sleek and sporty like a GT40, gullwing etc.
