Interesting... I hope this isn't in micro scale like the last Factory thing... I could go for some all new space figs!

Also, I hope this means space parts on PaB!

You can also see it on the website here:

Not to mention "Star Justice"...

Hehe, hmm 3vil...

It's great to have more fan-designed sets, but darn, 3vil is my most NOT favorite space 'faction'. But, there could be some cool thing from this for sure, and I'm betting they'll have a hefty usable piece count!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, the leader better not have Ogel's (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?M=alp020 face and better not have red and black colors, and most of all, not skeletons for bad guys. otherwise TLC would be repeating them selves. For if you notice something, the Castle 07 badguys, and the Alpha Team bad guys, are creepily the same.

Just my two cents,

... Apparently you've never seen 3vil.

Copycat! How dare someone else use those figs for a faction... oh, right...because they can.



Hey, if they make more plain parti-colour torsos I can build my army more cheaply!

A thought just struck me, perhaps these "space skulls" and "star justice" factions are supposed to be futuristic version of our own crown knights and skellies. There would be tons of those pointy gold pieces in the star justice sets, and a lot of spikes in the space skulls. If they make a lot of the sets in light bley these might also be good parts packs...

This probably will not happen but it's still something to ponder.

God's speed

I have seen 3vil, but does the leader have Ogels face and does it have a bunch of skellies for the main bulf of baddies?




Actually I have no idea if 3vil does or not, for I have never seen a 3vil fig. Lots of space ships though.

EKnight

I can add some fodder to this rumor.

If you go to the online S@H pick-a-brick section and check out the droid torso, they call it 'space skeleton body'.

Hehe... Elephant Knight, you make a good point. What is Lego's obsession with Ogel???

...No, actually, it's based off of the fan creations of Mark Sandlin and Chris Giddens, called "3vil" (space skulls) and Star Rangers (space justice) respectively. Am I the only spacer on here?

Well, I don't know if it was the leader because it was long time ago that I saw it, but there was a guy with the Ogel face. The bad guys aren't skeletons per-say, but they wear skull masks (which translates into LEGO as a skull head). No wonder LEGO picked them!

Ogel is the awesomest villain ever!

Well it is classic-castle...

I tend to think myself as more of a Spacer than a Castler. At least if you judge by what I have built. I have one, 1 foot by 2.5 feet shelf full of castle stuff, whereas I have 3-4 shelves of the same sized builf. Though I like building casle figs more than I like building castles, whereas Space is pretty mush vise versa.

Hey,

I guess these were in the new issue of BrickJournal. I don't have it yet, but dsvelte posted scans:
