My understanding of the rumor was that TLC couldn't produce (i.e., introduce)
any _new_ space sets (especially ships without wheels). The LEGO Insectoids
product line is almost two years old now, even if some of the sets are still
in production.

Just like those rumors about there no longer being service packs? Or buckets
going away? I think, just like service packs and buckets, we'll see Space
(i.e., Insectoids) slowly fade out over the next 8-12 months and then be 100%
gone for a long time.

p.s. Statistically, BTW, most rumors about TLC that circulate widely and
reach widespread belief actually do turn out to be _quite_ true. (I've
been keeping track for a long time, and it's rather surprising.)

| (...) Maybe we're all somehow affecting reality with our beliefs! Rumours become true, we all expect new sets to be more and more juniorized and they are, we expect TLG to get worse sales with juniorised sets, and they lose money for the first time (...)
