That goes up to probably October.  There might be "surprises" like we
already had, ie Town Legends and Sante Fe this winter, and the Blacksmith
Shop (MOC) set.  I wouldn't be surprised if there were more sets that
came out, but probably not from Space, unfortunately, for obvious
marketing reasons, (not for preference reasons).
