• April 9, 2038, 6:10 AM : The space station lost all contact with shuttle BDP-6, en route for the very first journey to Mars !

Before communication was cut off, we received a final message from Captain Maxime, head of the expedition. However, this message seems to have been corrupted:

Ŵ̶̟̻͈̓͝e̴͎͐ ̷̨͈̘̔̈́̎̚a̵̩̞͋̑̔r̶̼̱̩͌̓̚͜ḛ̸̌̉͆̕ ̵̜̬͝n̴̡̥̉̀̔ͅo̶̢͙͗̽t̶̡͓̹͛̓ ̵̦̟̹̔̽͝͠a̵̟̒̂̂͝ļ̵͆̆͒o̴̮̠̔͂n̵̡̻̲͋̒e̵̢̧̡͙̓͠

Many specialists have tried to decode what the captain was trying to communicate, but without success. That’s why we called on an expert : you !

This is why you're here today. We hope you can help us ! (Feel free to share your ideas in the comments)

It was only on April 12 that we learned the shuttle had indeed crashed on an unknown planet, near Mars. But what were the causes ? What happened to the crew ? To this day, we still have no answers...

• September 20, 2038, 2:23 PM : We’ve just intercepted a new message from Captain Maxime ! It seems he survived and managed to build a relay antenna to communicate with us.

Argh, the message is coded again ! If only we knew what he was trying to tell us...

• December 28, 2038, 8:56 AM : We’ve just received our first "photo" of Captain Maxime. But what does it mean ? "Human" ? It looks like a logo... But what’s happening up there ?

• February 1, 2039 : Finally, after nearly a year of waiting, we managed to establish a voice communication with Maxime :

Flavie (Chief of Space Communications): "Maxime?! Can you hear me?"
Maxime (Captain of the space expedition): "YES!!! YESSS!! I CAN HEAR YOU!!!"
Flavie: "Oh my God, Captain! It's really you! But... what happened to you?!"
Maxime: "I don’t remember very well... We were on our way to Mars when suddenly, a ship passed in front of us... It seemed to have a tractor beam. We were pulled towards this planet and couldn’t do anything before crashing."
Flavie: "You mean... an alien ship?!"
Maxime: "Yeah, something like that... Huh? What? * strange noise* Zariel, I’m in a call! Please don’t interrupt me."
Flavie: "Captain? Is someone with you? Another survivor? Or... AN ALIEN?!"
Maxime: "Uh... Yeah, an alien... I mean, aliens."
Flavie: "You discovered a new form of life?!!!"
Maxime: "I’d say it’s more like they found me, haha."
Flavie: "Are they dangerous?!"
Maxime: "I thought so at first when they approached me after the crash... but they seemed more interested in the cargo we were carrying."
Flavie: "You mean the mission equipment?"
Maxime: "Uh... not exactly... Let's just say we brought along some items to entertain ourselves during the trip."
Flavie: "What kind of items? * piano sound in the background* Huh?! Is that a piano I hear?!"
Maxime: "What? Oh... No, no, not at all. It’s just... uh... MARCUS, STOP THAT IMMEDIATELY!"
Flavie: "Marcus?! Who is that?!"
Maxime: "It’s uh... well... engine noise Yeah, I’m coming, Zariel! Start opening the shop without me, I’ll join you after tightening the bolts on the seesaw, I almost fell last time."
Flavie: "A SHOP ?! SEESAW ?! WHAT IS GOING ON?!"
Maxime: "Uh... I’ve got to go, I’ll call you back later..."
Flavie: "CAPTAIN!!! I REALLY NEED *Maxime hangs up* more explanations..."

It seems the Captain is busy with... something, I’m not sure what. But the important thing is, he’s okay !

Oh, we’ve just received some higher-quality photos. Let’s see what he has to show us!

I hope this short story excerpt about Captain Maxime’s adventures was enjoyable for you 😄

Today, I’m excited to present my first entry on the space theme : Human Shop ! 👽

So, Human Shop is a store run by extraterrestrials, specialized in selling human objects, human and alien food. 😮
This shop was established after a rocket crash in 2038. 🙀
After many renovations, it opened its doors and has built a loyal customer base !
Not far from the shop, you’ll find a piano to brighten your day with good music, as well as a seesaw for your kids to enjoy or for you to have fun ! 🎶

The goal of this set is to give the space theme a chance, which so far hasn’t found a major winner. It’s sad, as there is so much to explore in this theme ! 🤯

The Human Shop is a set capable of pleasing both collectors and players. It can be easily displayed or used thanks to its stands and interactive pieces.
In a scrapyard or abandoned place atmosphere, our three minifigures are living their best adventures ! 😎

Do you also want to have fun at this good old shop ? Then don’t hesitate to vote and leave a comment. I’ll try to reply as soon as possible to thank you for your support ! ✨
