It was the year 1979 when LEGO launched one of the sets that became among the most iconic in the AFOL world: the 928 set.
The Classic Space theme was launched just a year earlier in 1978 and this set became a legend because it represented the most beautiful and largest spaceship in the entire fleet. It is incredible to think of the success that this set of only 338 pieces has had if we compare it to those on sale today, but in those days we were children who dreamed of having this box and our best memories are linked to it.
In '79 I was just 5 years old and I have never been able to have this box, too expensive for my parents, but I have always dreamed of it looking at it in the catalogs. Finally as an adult I looked for it and managed to buy it!
All this premise was used to introduce my new work: the Galaxy Explorer SDR-926! This year I am 10 years old as AFOL and I thought about making mocs that have a special meaning for me. The first of these was the desire to make a spaceship of some importance! SDR-926 wants to be a tribute to the 928 but with very different characteristics and numbers. Number 926 represents the birth of my daughter. The spaceship measures 85 x 75 x 21 cm and is made up of almost 4600 pieces! It took me 5 intense months to make it because it contains several features and functionalities in a single work.
Thank you for watching!

This is my last Basilisk, for now. I have some other ideas I think would look good, and one I hit the wall on parts availability with (olive and dark red), but other projects beckon. So, I give you the Blacktron version, rejected from the Lego Ideas space competition for the 90th anniversary, as not being new.

1978 was a key year in Lego history: three themed series - Castle, Town, and Space - were launched, along with minifigures to populate the themed worlds. The Space series, with its iconic astronaut minifigures and simple yet elegant sets, remains very desirable even today, long after being discontinued in 1987.
Set 462 was one of the initial sets of the Space series in 1978, and depicts a communication truck, a trailer, and a rocket with payload. Consisting of 76 pieces, Set 462 was known as Set 897 in Europe. I obtained this set in an eBay auction in June 2012; it definitely is showing signs of wear, especially on the red astronaut, but is still very presentable.
The completed set. The rocket is mounted, though sadly due to the way the set is designed, the rocket is split in half by the launch mechanism elbow; the payload satellite is mounted on top of the rocket.
Double feature of 1997’s small droid ships, the V-Wing and Cyber Blaster enter the LEGO City!
These tiny old sets were heavy on cool intricate prints. All about the minifigs here, but the V-Wing has some really fun classic space elements and shaping!
‘97 picks up with leg printing, which hadn’t been seen in a space theme since ‘94s Spyrius droid, Major Kartofski. And we’ll see leg prints on their human counterparts next time I look at RoboForce.
Happy to have both the Techdroids from this theme back in my collection, which Techdroid do you like better- red or blue?

The escort fighters in Rebel Moon. Had a lot of fun throwing this together over a couple of days. Took a little bit of liberty, since there isn't an accurate windscreen available and all the still frames I took are super dark. I didn't see any concept art or anything online either. Might help if I actually knew what these little ships were called lol.

An impromptu tribute to the passing of David Bowie using 918 and evening light
The LDI engineers have all taken turns piloting the Firestar, but only their best push it to its limits in races.
I need to be ok with the fact that i may not finish on time. Epic photos none the less. Needs more greebly bits, and a presentation.
Space Panic
Size : 2,5m x 1,80
By : sweetsha - N3rik68 - Kloou.
UFO Tower
Display made for the french convention "Brick à Dole" 2017. The V2 with a new part "Starship Troopers" was presented to the french convention "Let\'s Go" 2018 in Schiltigheim.
This MOC is a collaborative diorama created with my friend Sweetsha & N3rik.
On this diorama we find the new theme Space Lego but also the Classic Space Lego.
It is intentionally ultra colored, it gives a side very fun :)
There are also many references to the great films of SF, pop culture and it\'s full of humor.
Obviously nothing will happen as planned, Space is going to shit. ^^
House Tanatuos Envoy Ship “Silent Hand of Heaven”
The diplomats of House Tanatuos traverse displacement space in vessels that bear no visible armaments or defences, protected only by their reputation, their House colours, and the Emperor’s writ of passage.
Well, that and the House’s fleet of Thundermaw-class escort vessels, whose constant presence ensures that their envoys reach their destinations without incident.
Length: 106 studs
Part count: No idea
And so, my first SHIPtember build is complete! I am very happy with how it has come out on the whole; and glad for the quick progress I made in the first half of the month, given the limited time and energy I have had for it over the last two weeks due to sickness and other things. It has been great fun to properly engage with SHIPtember this year, and I imagine I will be back at it again next year!
Thank you to everyone who commented and gave feedback and suggestions along the way, I really appreciate it!
Enter 1994’s Saucer Scout to round out my Spyrius collection
This set felt ubiquitous as a kid. I had it, and I’m pretty sure most of my friends did too back then. It’s about as simple yet effective as LEGO can get with a spacecraft!
So for the line that gave my generation the first leg prints, with Major Kartofski, LEGO doesn’t give too much diversity among the Spyrius crew (outside of the Big One).
Enter the Spyrius-verse, anyone?
As a huge fan of Spyrius, I’m very happy to have this little set back in the collection.
More LEGO retro spaceships and rovers to be featured soon!

Some more shots of my current big MOC - Star Wars Discordia - by my brother Nico
Imperial troops climbimg down the huge AT-AT
So after I built that Star Trek bridge module, I got to thinking about how well the Classic Space and Star Trek universes would mesh.
Both are set in space, obviously. Both feature brightly-coloured uniforms. Both depict a future of cooperation and exploration rather than conflict and warfare. Even some of the set names (6929 Starfleet Voyager) sound like Trek.
One of the big visual differences, of course, is that Starfleet crewmembers wear uniform jerseys and beam down to Earthlike planets with breathable atmospheres, whereas Classic Space astronauts wear spacesuits all the time.
I confess that even as a kid this used to bother me, and I'd want to make airlocks and suiting-up rooms on all my bases.
But if the Classic Space astronauts are exploring Earthlike planets, there's surely no reason they have to wear spacesuits. So what would that look like>
Rather like my CS-torso Trek bridge, I suspect.
This, then is my evolution of Classic Space in the direction of Star Trek. I hope you like it.
Another build for 2nd round of Iron Forge, the seed part being the tap piece
A Classic Space Hangar Scene. Actually a while ago, i had a very similar build, but for another contest in a much smaller scale
Order 66, Star Wars, MOC, Nearly 200 followers, yeah
Every milestone or whenever I feel like it, I will upload a MOC

Set 6950, Mobile Rocket Transport, was released in 1982, portraying a very large off-road vehicle on a lunar colony, carrying a rocket to a remote location for launch. It was one of the first sets to feature some new elements, including yellow astronaut minifigures, hollow radar dish, and Technic parts. It is decent-sized at 209 pieces and is as large as some base buildings.
The vehicle is now complete, and is shown in this photo unloading the rocket for launch. With five steering wheel pieces as "control" elements, this is quite elaborate. This set is more or less Set 462, Mobile Rocket Launcher, on steroids, with both the rocket carrier/launch mechanism and the control computer terminals, and can also do all the job of Set 483, Alpha-1 Rocket Base, with the added plus of mobility. Both 462 and 483 are already in my collection.
Hey everyone, I'm back, and this time I want to show you something different. This build was built as a part of "Out of This World Space Builds" on lego ideas, and was built as a 3D model because of lack of parts. It represents a small laboratory located on Mars, or whatever other planet that you want it on. On the exterior you can see it has rounded windows, entrance and on the top a small greenhouse, while in the interior you have a computer with a litle stand for samples of stones or whatever. It also has plenty of room to fit a minifigure. This was built as a hexagonal build wich takes up 10x12 stud space. Although it is a mecabricks build, all interactions between bricks have been previously checked with phisical bricks. Overall build contains 241 bricks. I would appreciate if you would drop a like or comment on lego ideas entry. It's called "Space Laboratory", original, isn't it. Here's the link:
