She might not be the prettiest little truck, but she's a tough little motor and she makes the perfect companion for lugging pigs and parcels around the farm.
Blacktron II’s Allied Avenger (or Octopod) from 1991 enters the LEGO City!
LEGO’s best X-Wing pre-Star War license?
I’m a huge fan of Blacktron II’s use of octagon transparent neon green domes and detachable pods in their larger sets.
My younger self imagined the pods would be for atmospheric travel, with the back rockets intended for intergalactic travel/warp speed.
Pretty cool little spaceship, classic minifig with the old blockhead, and great neon pieces!
More 90’s LEGO to be showcased soon, including more of the space baddies - Blacktron II

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..

These are the old British and Australien boxes introduced around 1966.
And unlike the other 418 boxes, these say: The Building Toy.
The normal ones holds 13 2x4 bricks.
The middle one holds 7 black ones and 6 transparent ones.
These boxes are very nice to look at and use only painted art work.
Where other boxes use a mix of art and pictures.
On the side it says : Made in Great Britain*
* The new firm started distributing LEGO products from 1960 and brick manufacture commenced at Wrexham in 1962.
If you have an old LEGO set that says ‘Made in Great Britain’ on the box, it was made and packed by hand on Wrexham Industrial Estate.
Most likely these were used to discus the greenness of LEGO trans-green bricks.
The top right one comes close to the modern trans-green one,
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?

Liking the new Ideas little sailboat #40487- fits the Studio’s aesthetic nicely
Great Protector #76177 agrees. If you’re on the fence about seeing Shang Chi, check it out! Super original, answered questions I had from earlier MCU entries, and was amazing in 4DX

Majisto back in the collection thanks to BrinkLink!
Great little nostalgia set, forgot that they gave the OG wizard a funny little cape!
Not a lot to this set, but a classic and strange build. A shop in a hallowed tree under a latter? Sure, Steen Sig Andersen, that works.
Some more retro sets on the way, stay tuned.

A stripped-down, re-built road monster designed for eating up quarter miles and spitting them out.
Built for LEGO's #buildlikeamaster competition.

"Uplink and I are a team. Between us there's nothing we can't do."
I've been meaning to revamp this old set for a while, so here it is! Bigger and sturdier than the original version, I wanted to keep the "cockpit" open while offering a bit more protection to the pilot, so I went with the cage over the top. I also made it "modular" so there are different attachment options to choose from depending on the mission.
Bring back Exo-Force!
An alternate build of set #31128 Dolphin and Turtle. I saw the seahorse build and thought the main body looked like a good shape for a little bird, so that's what I built!
I may do some instructions at some point, like I did with my little elephant before.

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.
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.
1992’s Rebel Hunter from Space Police II enters the LEGO City!
Took lots of pictures of this one, had some fun, check it out!
Also known as the Space Police Prisoner Patrol, this medium sized spaceship brings back loads of memories. Two fractions of Space sub-themes are represented here with the Space Police II fig and a Blacktron prisoner, which I really like as a huge fan of Blacktron.
The prisoner’s capsule is a funny little build that looks like it would clamp down on the fig’s feet. I like how these were the standard capsule in the Space Police 2 line and could be used with their other sets.
The ship itself is pretty basic. Uses some large funky elements to add easy bulk and width. I was never a fan of the technic elements being so prominent on the top of the ship, but I love the simple drop-ship action feature! Great transparent dark green elements! Very classic LEGO.
I always figured the green and red modified facets (3x3x2) were the equivalent of police lights, subbing green for blue.
Did you have this set growing up? Like it? Find it problematic?
More ‘90s LEGO sets to be featured soon, including more Space sun-themes!

How awesome is that, I get a package in the mail today, nothing unussual, we
all get them.
But this contained a book, I had not ordered a book?
So I opened it and inside was the new LEGO book from Sarah Herman called:
"A million little Bricks"
Okay, I know Sarah, she asked me something about LEGO long ago and if she could
use some of my pictures and info for her book.
If people ask, I feel honored and I don't mind because I like to share my little
knowledge of LEGO.
Like Gary Istok shares his vast ammount of LEGO knowledge with all of us, I like his style
Anyway, so this brand new book burns in my hands and I open it and start reading
and turning pages.
And there they are, a few of my pictures in a book about LEGO
Very nice I think and feel honored.
Then I read the acknowledgments and see my name under jacket photos???
So I look but only see others....
But.......see picture, how AWESOME is that, while sitting in my bookcase,
all you see is my picture
Enjoy,
Maxx
P.s. it sure is a book for your wish list.
ISBN-10 1-62087-054-1
This book contains topics on Kiddicraft, nearly all LEGO themes, like space, castle, town, ninjago, Robo, rescue, znap, x-pods, racers, train, unitron, toy story, wolfpack, scala, spongebob, star wars etc. etc....
Originally, the Red Rod was somewhat more refined - a pretty little roadster, more at home on twisting country lanes than the drag strip.
The back of the boxes show the color of bricks that are inside.
But you can also look through the "glass" or check the top of the box.
The bottom shows the LEGO system logo.
These boxes have white edges while the square window boxes are totally blue.
These boxes followed the square window boxes in 1967, and were them selves replaced by the 918 boxes around 1969 in Europe.

The UK had it's own size 418, these contained 13 bricks:
www.flickr.com/photos/maxx361/7183482266/in/photostream/
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
"There must be hundreds of them!"
I decided to revamp a Sentry as a counterpart to my 'Mk. 2' Uplink. This upgraded version is bigger and tougher than the original, with swappable weapons modules to mount between the shoulders. I couldn't find a neat way to include control sticks at the front, so I'm just imagining that the Iron Drone piloting the machine is connected and can control it wirelessly.
Bring back Exo-Force!
“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.
Which BttF film do you like the best?

A rag-tag bunch of adventurers brought together by chance and fate. A thief, a warlock, a halfling bard, a paladin, an elfen ranger and... An orc? While their differences sometimes cause tensions, at the end of the day they work together and cover each other's weaknesses.
This party is equally happy to take on a quest, or a pint of ale at the nearest tavern.
--------------------------------------------
Is this what they call "figbarf"? I haven't built anything for a bit, so I thought I'd go for something a bit different to my usual fare and dig out some minifigs, which are usually neglected or a bit of an afterthought in my builds. It was actually a bit of a challenge for me to find parts which would work to create a little D&D-ish party. Fairly happy with them, and I will be posting individual photos and backstories when I've thought of them!

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!
