Wauw, fantastic news, great find, thanks for posting!

I had heard nothing about this set, it totally flew under the radar, but of course it makes sense this year. Will definitely buy it asap... - Probably a couple of copies.

The thruster quads look a bit weird (standing off a bit too far) but I am sure the set will be superb over-all.

This is a leak... The LEGO Group was actively trying to squelch it as of yesterday per scuttlebutt I heard... But it's probably pretty solid and we only have a few days to go to see if it happens or not.

I'll be getting... several

Pointless to squelch it. This set is being reported by dozens of sites as of three days ago.

Can't wait for this one! Seems like a must have for me (I already have the Saturn V), and if the excitement I see is any indication, it will sell out quickly.

I built the astronaut minifig just now (one of two). I’ll start building the rest of it this coming week.

The astros are the most important part, good on you for building them first

Dropped by the LEGO store and picked up mine.

One of the employees was demoing the assembly. Lots of interest from customers in the store.

Rookie...

Experienced speed builders know that if you have two people, the second person should sort parts and stage them for your next few steps, not try to help assemble.

(My son was on a team that set the world's record for assembling an Imperial Star Destroyer, 10 people, under an hour total build time from unboxing to complete, no errors)
