Yet another new set has appeared on the Lumibricks official website, and this time they’re heading into Space. Not boldly going where no one has gone before… because let’s be honest, loads of companies have done Space already. But this one caught my eye because it wasn’t what I expected at all. It is called Alien Frontier: Bounty Hub.
When I first heard the rumour of a Space set, my brain instantly went to a spaceship. Safe bet, bit predictable, and every other brand has already done about fifty of them. So seeing a Space Base instead feels fresh and a lot more interesting. And yep, it’s an alien base, which instantly makes it cooler.
For a second it reminded me of the Apple TV show For All Mankind, where they show lunar base stations. But theirs are kind of gloomy and depressing (and they definitely don’t have aliens), and this thing is the complete opposite. Bright colours, clean modular shapes, and some awesome looking orange and yellow lighting that is probably going to glow like mad in the dark.
So actually, scratch that comparison. It doesn’t remind me of For All Mankind at all. But it does look fun.
I’m a big Space fan, so I’m definitely looking forward to this one.
