I'm not a collector (I already spend enough money on other stuff!) but do like the NASA sets. Am well aware of the scale issues with the ISS, but it does seem OK to just build and put on a shelf somewhere.
That Discovery model is dirty, though...
EDIT: FWIW I had a bunch of the original Space Lego kits as a kid, and moved on to Technical Lego. Loved that stuff.
Dirty?
Yeah the newer space sets overall are quite amazing.
I think the most surprising out of the bunch is the saturn 5. You only go in with modest expectations.. its a rocket, how interesting is it going to be.. but its outstanding in so many ways when its done. Yeah the one (and definitely only) set i got aftermarket was the saturn 5. Paid double for it. No not bothered that its being reprinted now.

You sir have mastered this thinking in brick business. Cutter please
mfg you've even done the interiors for some ships. That's too good.
I like how you've integrated the new roadplates in to the city.
I've not had a chance to use them yet but it looks like they work pretty well.
They are less wide than the old road plates, but I like the fact they are more raised.
I still like the old ones too.

LEGO MOC Federal Dropship by TheRealBeef1213 | Rebrickable - Build with LEGO
The Federal dropship is done. This ship gave me a bigger headache then the chieftain. Specifically, that cheek area....
rebrickable.com
wow, what size is it?
I bet those 'cheek' bits were painful to do
My only crit would be the use of curved tiles on the mid upper surface, that part of the ship is much boxier and angular. But at those scales you have limited options.

yea the sides could be better but they would have left gaps if I kept it straight unfortunately.I bet those 'cheek' bits were painful to do
