In the Lego Universe there are plenty of criminals but fortunately there is a cop (or a space cop) for each of them!
Here you can see one of the latest spaceship adopted by the Space Police Corp chasing a thief from the blue planet ZOD47 who has just stolen a fast vehicle that was parked at a Space Fast-food nearby. I have no doubts that the police man will catch him in a short time!
Stay tuned for more pics of each of the spaceships...
Team Classic Space entered this classic looking racing machine for the third season of the Galactic Speeder League in the Unlim class. They managed to score podiums in 6 races and won the very first race of season four!
The speeder features a neat rear diffuser and removable headlights and also is the first model in the league with a closed cockpit.
Part of a display I was asked to participate in for Brickworld 2017. I built this as a last minute addition.
My updated version of the classic set Space Dart I. We often forget that Lego's Classic Space also included the Light Gray / Black / transparent green color scheme, so this pays homage to that.
The life-support systems are mounted behind the cushioned frame-seat, protecting them from enemy fire

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.
1997’s Robo Stalker, another Mech from the strange RoboForce sub-theme!
I’m kind of a fan of the space robot goblin in striped pants, vaguely reminds me of a Beetlejuice getup? Idk, but I dig it.
This set has some seriously unique space elements and a few familiar. This set stands strong as a part’s pack, but it has enough originality to merit its own existence in any retro space collection
Good consoles for both drivers, great transparent orange elements, and even a cool sticker over the torso windshield
This set has all the prints and printed legs for the minifigs, super deluxe for ‘97
Each pilot of the orange faction of RoboForce shares the same face (previously used in Aquanauts’ sub-theme), which is an odd choice considering how many different elaborate prints were used in these sets
The detachable head/craft is good looking, with that large Exploriens’ element for a cockpit, adjustable wings, and two storage containers
More Retro Space LEGO sets to be featured soon..

This is another character I built for what became the PACH (Poacher Assault Containment Herd). They're a genetically engineered team of pachyderms whose mission is to eliminate poachers. Goldie is probably my favorite member of the squad. She's a deep-strike trooper, using her jump-pack for mobility unprecedented in elephantine warfare. I was really satisfied with the jump pack build, which can be swapped onto any of the characters (they all have studs at standard spots on their backs, to swap out packs).
I first displayed one, then several, at BrickFair in 2022 (I think), then held back on posting until they were published in Brick Journal... then I forgot to post for awhile...
Set 6901, Mobile Lab, is an interesting addition to the Classic Space line. Released in 1980, it portrays a mobile vehicle that can scan the lunar soil, or scoop up a sample, for analysis. Between four Classic Space logos on the vehicle, and the transparent green windows which were a change from the existing yellow windows, this set brought a much-needed contrast and increased play opportunities. The set has 135 pieces and two minifigures.
The vehicle is now complete. In this look, the scanner is installed, while the scoop is set down separately.
In the back is a Lego official Brick Separator, a must when it comes to rehabilitating vintage sets, and often included with the purchase of brand-new collectible sets. The current design dates from 2012, though a version without the Technic axle removal capability has existed since 1988. As Classic Space predates any version of the Brick Separator, many Classic Space sets, including this one on the equipment nose, may have bite marks on some of the pieces, as teeth were the primary means of separating stubborn Lego pieces then.
------------------------------------------------------------------THE IDEA------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the horizon of all those treacherous dunes on Classic Space box art? Well, heck if I know -- BUT I can ask you a better question: how does one get there? CERTAINLY not with 6mm offset tread wheels mind you! Legend has it, as you progress deeper and deeper into the dunes, the sediment becomes darker and redder. Some believe this is because of a rich resource which lies deep beneath it, some say it leads to treasure, and others may warn that is home to the Insectoids... Personally I think its because I only had so many options to work with for backgrounds -- BUT the answer is up to you!
------------------------------------------------------------------THE CRAWLER------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the big question, how does one cross those dunes? Well, the nerds over at Classic Space HQ (trans-green edition) have the answer! They came up with the legendary idea of slapping the biggest tires possible on the 6901 Mobile Lab, but then quickly realized the tire itself was far bigger than the lab, so they had to resort to an increased budget. They searched far and wide for whatever traditional light gray pieces they could find and were able to create a behemoth lab crawler ready to challenge the dunes themselves. It is time to discover and research what lies beyond them!
A Lego Classic Space lunar base needs a large spaceship, for journeys back to Earth and to asteroids and elsewhere. Here is my first such spaceship, Set 6929, a fairly large set released in 1981, consisting of 242 pieces and one red astronaut minifigure. It has a distinctive shape, between the pilot's cab in the front and the cargo compartment in the back that can carry a tool box. Additionally, its design language, with blue transparent windows and white spoilers, is a step away from the original blue/gray spaceships and their yellow windows that had been introduced in 1978.
The build technique for this set is different from many previous sets, in that the mid-deck is built first and the landing gear elements are built downward from it. The bases for the landing gear are now in place.
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!
Video presentation here:
Built by Nick Kappatos and myself for BrickFair VA, 2021. The landing pad and roadway components were modular in nature, with the hope of expanding and rearranging over time.
While displaying the first version of this MOC at an FLL Event earlier this year someone from the public walked off with this little guy.
My friend and LUGMATE Bill (murphquake on Brickset) felt horrible and set out out to do something about the situation. No-he didn't hunt down the thief stalker style, he asked the AFOL community to pitch in and help rebuild this MOC without my knowing.
We both took part in Brickset Jambalaya and he messaged everyone in the group besides me asking them to add any spare Turqoise parts they could. This turned into not only the Turqoise parts but the group then threw in the rest of the parts needed to rebuild this MOC. A member also printed out an inventory for other Brickset Jambalayers to cross off what they added. Eventually, people added a dollar or two here and there and I not only had nearly every single part needed to rebuild this MOC but a crisp $20 bill to fund the purchases of any missing parts through Bricklink.
I've had this rebuilt for a while now and apologize for not posting pics earlier but the model has been rebuilt and is almost indentical to the previous version. I haven't made stickers for this model and the front end is a bit different.
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED! AFOLs ROCK!
Dark Turquoise. What an awesome color!
SNOT techniques were used to get the front grill of the ship onto this MOC. Technic pins helped secure the different sections of the ship together as well. Love Technic pins!
No such thing as a useless piece.
Still getting through sorting so this little guy is made almost entirely of pieces from the Creator cyber drone
I’ve had a bunch of pumpkins I had no idea what to do with, and then I saw @leewanlego and @loysnuva had built pumpkin rovers and I thought that was brilliant! So thank you for your inspirational builds!
Please check them out they very inspirational builders!

More recent shoots of previous builds. These guys were being shot at by the aliens warping in from the gate in 2017.
COVID brought me back from a long (9+ years) break from Lego, so of course one of the first things I try to build is a SHIP. I ran out of parts and time (due to a move halfway across the country), so this is a second attempt.
Trying to incorporate all these windows and match the shape of the rest of the SHIP.
