A City astronaut, an alien, and a crystal — LEGO® packed a whole little story into 20 pieces, and somehow it works.
Is the price fair?CPolybag pricing rarely feels generous, and this one doesn't break the trend.
Will you love it?B-The alien makes it — without that minifig this is a C set, full stop.
Holds its value?C-Don't shelve it expecting a return; polybags need cultural heat to move, and City rarely delivers that.

The Full Take
Polybags live or die by their concept, and 'Astronaut with Alien and Crystal' at least has a concept. The alien minifig is the draw here — it's the kind of offbeat character that disappears fast in a wave and shows up later on BrickLink at a premium. The astronaut is solid City fare, nothing new but nothing to complain about either. At the price point these polybags tend to hit, the value proposition is soft — you're paying for convenience and a fun little moment, not a display centerpiece or a meaty build. Still, as a desk trinket or a kid's quick Saturday, it clears the bar. The B overall is fair: charming, minor, forgettable by dinnertime but easy to like while it's in front of you.
