The Soosan is the first purpose-built Viper designed specifically for cats in the galaxy! It's fast, nimble, and always lands right-side-up, just like its pilot.
5 bodies, a stolen stash of gold, and a girl gone missing... In a town like this, the only things you can rely on are your wheels and your whisky.
I thought I'd try my hand at a small-scale car build, inspired by the likes of Jonathan Elliott and 1saac W. (but nowhere near as talented sadly). Featuring a couple of slightly more advanced techniques than I normally use.
Not based on any specific real-life model, but aiming for the sort of late-40s-early-50s kind of style you might see in old noir films.
Many thanks to my Dutch friends for all there help in restoring this glued shop window display model
The XL-15 enters the LEGO City!
This set wouldn’t have been on my radar if it wasn’t for the buzz about the Lightyear film’s director being AFOL Angus MacLane (check out his builds on Flickr!).
Evidently, he pushed for the in-film design to have a yellow transparent canopy, reminiscent of the Classic Space elements.
He also had an interesting spot on LEGOCon, worth a check out.
The build of this one and a cat seater spaceship is substantial! As a medium sized ship it checks most boxes for me: fits all accessories, swoosh-ability is there, has mobile base in form of laptop (stretch), and droid in the Catbot (also stretch). No escape pod/rover, which loses some points when compared to the medium builds of my ‘90s childhood.
But the elements and connections this set brings to the table blow anything from my childhood away. There are a few elements that are super obscure.
Color scheme for the spaceship is great, can’t miss with light blue, white, and black with that yellow canopy.
Also bonus points for extra head/hair elements for minifigs.
Less stellar for me were the minifigs. Buzz looks pretty good, but I’d prefer the dome over a normal helmet (I’m sure that’s a movie plot detail). The other figs have nice printing, but are pretty mute brown, like something out of a Star Wars set.
The shoulder pauldrons for all of them are cumbersome to range of motion.
The rocket launcher build doesn’t really work out to be held, but I do appreciate the built up weapon/scanning accessories.
Very nice set, strong suggest for the building experience and MOC possibilities!
I left off the red stripes off the wings. Does it look cleaner? Worse? Let me know
I’ll be looking at more contemporary LEGO sets that are bringing back Classic Space soon!

Taking some shots of a Harry Potter set:
The House of Black
12 Grimmauld Place #76408
This time of year always gets me in the mood to rewatch the HP series.
Here is my latest build, testing out the New Studio! Hoping for slightly higher production values going forward, (still need to steam the blue screen).
I really like how this looks.
I don’t go out of my way too often for HP sets, I don’t have room for a giant ever-growing castle, but I really like some of their individual “home spaces”. The most recent Burrow (#75980) was excellent, and this townhouse is looking like my favorite HP dwelling for 2022.
The gimmick is great, works well, and allows for figures to be displayed in most of the area without interfering with the transformation.
Figure selection is large and great. All are printed well with detail, save Mrs. Weasley. Her orange pajamas jumpsuit looks off to me?
All come with accessories (even two distinct hair pieces for Tonks), and there are more than enough cups/goblets to go around.
The build was fairly straightforward “building building”, broken up nicely into little sections. Some details were heavily reliable on stickers, but it’s an 8+ set, these things are expected.
I think this could easily be converted to a modular (minus the transformation) that would look really good in any LEGO City.
(Last photo for scale, afterthought, with bad lighting)
Very grateful to my lovely fiancé for this birthday gifted set!

An alternative build for set #31133 White Rabbit. I had originally done a sort of rabbit-themed robot/mech, but I wasn't really that happy with it. Then I realised that the parts that are used as the rabbit's feet in the main build would be perfect to create the beautiful fluffy wings of a swan (specifically a Mute Swan), so here we are!
I may do some instructions at some point.
1993’s Blizzard Baron enters the LEGO City from Ive Planet 2002!
An OG Hoth snowspeeder, who doesn’t love that?
This set has a couple classic Ice Planet prints, cool minifig with accessories, and a decent amount of neon transparent orange elements for a little ship!
Not only is it a capable little snowspeeder, but it has a detachable communications base/portable science lab. Simple, but a good use of a few parts to bring more story elements to a small build.
I’m happy to have this guy added to my Ice Planet 2002 fleet. Did you have this set? Does it hold up as interesting to a modern audience? Anyone know why it’s also called the Ice Planet Vx122?
I’ll be looking at more retro LEGO soon, including more Space!

“Oh wow Rick, the Time Machine from the movie!”
“No Morty! This, this is ingenious! Thats not a time machine, it’s a LEGO kit. A LEGO kit that WASTES time! Now grab the wheel Morty, grandpa’s had too much to drink.”
What an excellent, satisfying build!
The action features work excellently, the details are on point and all three display options look great.
Awesome addition to the upscale cars. May have to do another shoot with this thing before it gets settled into a permanent display.

The Fantail is one of the smallest craft in the Blacktron fleet, but its light weight combined with large thrusters give it impressive acceleration and maneuverability.
It was designed to serve as a more controllable equivalent to an escape pod, so pilot comfort wasn't a priority, but it's a tough little craft that should at least get you to the nearest moon in one piece.
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

Some pics of Guardians’ ship #76193 and my favorite Thanos fig in the City
Great Spaceship build- thing is solid!
Was the ship ever actually called “the Benatar” in the MCU or just on @JamesGunn’s Twitter?
I feel a little Mandela effect on this

Take to the skies in Catherine Cat's Cruiser! This cool craft will get you to where you want to go in style.
The final part (for now) of a Fabuland mini-series of builds!
1997’s Robo Master, the Big One from the bizarre RoboForce sub-theme!
That neon dome! And all the prints! It’s like a better version the Blacktron 2 pods, but it’s on this weird Beast Wars mecha. And it doesn’t detach to fly off. Bummer.
What does detach to fly off is pretty cool for how simplistic it is: a smaller Unitron Star Hawk II (#1789). A set design from another far superior Space sub-theme.
I don’t mean to hate on RoboForce this much, it looks cool, has tons of prints, neon transparent elements, and great minifigs with leg prints and updated helmet sculpts! All of that is awesome!
But why wasn’t this designed as a spacecraft? It would have been among the best. LEGO hadn’t figured out Mechs in ‘97, but they sure have now.
Final thought, what was the tail thing?
A weapon? A ‘robot’? A charger for the spacecraft?

1997’s Crystal Scavenger from AquaZone’s AquaRaiders makes its way to Barracuda Bay
The Hook-hand pirate captains reunited!
This, along with the Deep Sea Predator, were two of my favorites from childhood. Some similarities, huh? This set is a peg lower on my list for the inclusion of stickers (which didn’t age so good on this second-hand set I picked up), but it does include awesome neon transparent green elements, great minifig, and cool accessory for the minifig.
Really cool older set. Loved the AquaZone theme with its use of neon transparent elements and its color schemes. Glad to round out my hook-handed pirates and add this retro set to my collection.
Thoughts on this older set?
I’ll be show casing some more ‘90s LEGO soon, including more AquaZone!

This small tracking station is part of a network covering all of the inhabited systems across the galaxy. This network is used to track and coordinate space traffic, and send and receive radio communications from anyone who might be speaking or listening.
An alternate build of set #31129 Majestic Tiger. I was struggling to decide what to get at a recent AFOL Appreciation Day event. Then I saw the 3-in-1 Creator tiger, and I knew what I had to do.
I know the feet are a bit big, but overall I'm really pleased with how this came out. Maybe I'll stick it into Stud.io at some point and make some instructions!
And yes, the tail comes with an extra section for when its sat down. It's too long when it's stood up, and too short when it's sat down, so I thought I might as well give it the option of adding an extra section when needed.
I love how the backs of these boxes show kids building.
On the front you can see the brick shape and color through the window.
On the top, shape and color as a painted picture.
The sides are blue and the back shows a generic LEGO picture.
The bottom shows the LEGO system logo, see top box.
All the printed info is located on the inside of the box lid.
Here it is also mentioned these boxes are called Kliklok.
My collection is no longer missing the yellow and black version.....
These boxes with square windows were made/produced from 1966 to 1967, followed by the round window versions.
Size: 8.6 cm x 6.4 cm x 6.4 cm
Weight: 75 grams (this differs per color, but is about...)
Contents: 21. 2x4 bricks

A tough, reliable Viper, mostly used as escort vehicles for larger ships or VIPs.
This is a long-overdue update on a very old MOC of mine. I recently got this lovely trans-yellow canopy piece which inspired me to revisit this build. Just about squeezing a couple of shots in for NnoVVember!
I will post some more pics soon.
1991’s Aerial Intruder from the Blacktron II fraction enters the LEGO City!
The ‘Big’ ship from a fan favorite (myself decidedly included) sub-theme is actually not all that big compared to the other Space sub-themes’ flagships. This ship checks the majority of my criteria for what made an excellent spaceship play set as a kid!
Great color scheme and cool large transparent elements?
Blacktron 2 has arguably the best + printed large windshield!
Detachable base with usable interior space?
The center of the ship is large when opened and has an aft storage compartment. While tight when loaded with cargo, great when side-builds are deployed
Dropship/Escape Pod?
Two of the best designed simple ships that deploy from the sides, that are also designed to be compatible with the rest of the sub-theme! So simple and genius
And a bonus jetpack element that is classic
Rover?
Two! Yes, super simple, but very standard for the time.
Action features?
The simple rover launch action definitely suffices.
Droid/Robot?
Not for this faction, but I believe that’s because they were outlaws. Correct me if I’m wrong?
Yes, I’m a really big fan of this old spaceship. Any detractors, like having 5 pilot-able options with only two minifigs can be understood with all their buddies they’d have to break from the Space Police II
This Absolute Classic brings me to the conclusion of my look back at some of my favorite LEGO from the ‘90s. I’m sure I’ll do more shoots with these sets in the future, but I’ve got a ton of contemporary sets to showcase for now and a large MOC in progress.
What did you think of this ship? Did you have it? Does it hold up today?

Feel the power of the jungle with the new Panther from Mastoriti. Available as a cabriolet and a hardtop fastback, the Panther is sleek and stylish, and guaranteed to thrill. Hear the roar of the powerful V8 engine and leave boring behind.
Can you tame the Panther?
-------------------------------------------
Hey Flickr, it's been a while! The white Panther is a model I first built years ago, back when LEGO still had the 'DesignByMe' thing running. It was based on the old default Digital Designer car which I made some modifications too.
I've been meaning to give it a bit of a refresh for a long time now, and while I was doing it I thought I'd build another one to go with it. So there you have it. I'm pleased with the results, especially the hardtop one. I'll probably make some more variations based on this platform now, because it's pretty cool and I could see a few directions I could take with it.
Built on the same platform as the Shadow, the Antumbra is classy and comfortable, providing unparalleled driving pleasure.
The LEGO Aquazone Deep Sea Predator hasn’t surfaced since 1995. What’s new with LEGO?
This may be my ultimate nostalgic LEGO set. It’s not all that big, but the vibrant translucent orange, the chromed elements, and the prints are the coolest!
This set was fighting in space just as much as it was the underwater threats in my younger self’s imagined narrative.
Loved this set as a kid, I parted ways with it around 2002, and now I’m very happy to have it in my adult collection.
This was my first time getting an order from BrickLink: the process, price, seller’s turnaround, and condition of the pieces were all outstanding!
I suspect I’ll be getting more shots with this set posted in the future

Audio added and draw fronts cleared of years of classroom stickers. The two large houses still need faded grey bricks to produce chimneys, The skyscraper needs finishing off and the Dutch light-up display and red ship need repairs starting but its nice to have the collection all under one roof.
