Is this full of unnecessarily rainbow colored bricks and cheap technic construction on the inside and costs about 150 bucks for a medium sized model without prints but loads of stickers that peal off in about two months? It's not real LEGO TM otherwise.

Having built some off brand Lego kits (Cobi), the rainbow colored interior bricks actually make it so much easier to tell what pieces go where.

It looks like it was ideas entry from 2019 that didn’t get approved.

No worries, if it had been approved they'd changed around stuff and made it worse for the release version anyway... They have a track record of missing the point of ideas sets... Case in point: the table kicker set

It's a Preview. Maybe it will come.

Maybe someone could make a 3d printable model of the pieces.

Lego manufactures their bricks to very specific tolerances, and with a certain type of plastic. Most 3D printers couldn’t replicate it well enough.

If you have a 3D printer, you can print it assembled so you don't have to worry about clutch strength.

It'll just look perfectly like a LEGO build, then ask someone to disassemble it.

Guess I have that to look forward to 🤷
