Here’s a comparison with the Lunar Buggy from 928 Galaxy Explorer (one of my favourite sets of all time). The buggy is super simple, and it has two clips at the back to hold tools such as the metal detector and wrench. Like the mini-spaceship, it’s another common fixture in Classic Space sets, which did most of their exploring on alien crater-filled planetscapes, which often required a hardy buggy to traverse the rocky terrain. The second build is another familiar sight for fans of Classic Space – a simple two-seater Lunar Buggy. You can tell that the designers absolutely paid attention to all the little details such as bringing back the Space Seat which evokes so much nostalgia.įans of Classic Space will also welcome the blue slope with the Classic Space logo printed on it. It seamlessly blends blue with grey in the timeless style of Classic Space.
The set comes with a small spaceship, which is a great homage to the forms and aesthetics of Spaceships from the Classic Space Era with its triangular shape. Note: Yes, I know these sets were technically released in late December 2018, but they’re still considered a 2019 set.Īs this set pretty much revolves around these 4 minifigures, I’m going to flip things around slightly, and check out the builds before doing a deep-ish dive into the minifigures. That said, I did sort of predict that LEGO would re-release Classic Space this year (see screenshot from a group chat with my mates in November 2018) and I have a feeling that this won’t be the last we see of Classic Space in 2019. They’re very protective of the ‘theme’ and only rarely bring it back out for remixes/re-releases. Like many LEGO fans, this set caught me quite off guard, especially the inclusion of Lenny, the pink Classic Space minifigure.Ĭlassic Space is one, if not, the most beloved LEGO themes and is universally revered by fans old and new. The Pink Classic Space Minifigure has been christened Lenny and joins Kenny, Benny (who we all know and love) and Jenny to form Benny’s Space Squad. When the LEGO Movie 2 sets were revealed, Benny’s Space Squad stood out for reasons that drive any seasoned LEGO fan into a frenzy, the re-release of two classic Space Minifigures AND perhaps the biggest surprise of all, the introduction of a new Pink Classic Space minifigure into the LEGO canon.
LEGO MOVIE SPACESHIP CRACKED
It took a couple of years, but LEGO finally cracked the secret to printing money – start selling what is essentially a Classic Space battle pack. It’s one of the most anticipated sets so far, so without further ado, let’s jump into a short review of 70481 Benny’s Space Squad – featuring Lenny, the new Pink Classic Space minifigure! Welcome to my first review of 2019! I decided to ease in to 2019 with one of the smallest sets this year, but don’t let its size fool you, it’s already a very strong contender for Set of the Year.
