I assume this happened in part because the people at LEGO realized that this timeline is garbage and that Gen X desperately needs a life preserver

Lego have been serving us Gen-Xers for quite a while already. Seinfeld, Ecto 1, BTTF DeLorean, Atari 2600, and a bunch of Star Wars OT sets definitely not for kids.

Indeed. Adults is +20% of LEGO's business today and driving much of the growth.

The original Charlie Buckett lives less than an hour away. I could probably buy one and deliver it to his door.

I haven’t said “I HAVE to have this” this quickly since they came out with the Disneyland train station.

I mean, it would be wrong for a 58 year old man to ask for this for Christmas, right?

I'm pleased they went with Gene Wilder. There is only one Willy Wonka.

As I walked in Sicily this spring through 3000 years of accumulated buildings in every state of repair from ruins to brand new, I realized the enduring skill of men is rearranging blocks of rock - LEGO is not a toy, it’s a testament to mankind’s skill set. 😜

Well, I am Gen X and I prefer the Dune Ornithopter or the Millennium Falcon. But I wouldn't mind a Princess Bride set at all.
