My mom had one of those Big Banana skateboards as a kid, so I dug her skateboard out of the garage and made a LEGO version of it!

Taking a look at the Space Whale and Crab Mech! Set #75579

 

Check YT in my bio for a bunch more pics and some thoughts on this unique set. youtu.be/Bq6jS7_Rdx0

 

I didn’t love the movies, but I can dig some of the LEGO sets that came from it!

 

I’ll be going through a few more Avatar sets soon

LEGO Clown set 321 from 1965 - released only in Denmark and Japan

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.

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!

NeoClassic Space popping up in the Monkie Kid theme with Chang’e Moon Cake Factory

 

With the build-up to the release of the Galaxy Explorer 2022, I’m looking back at a few builds over the past year that harken back to Classic Space- NeoClassic Space

 

I’m not necessarily the demographic for this kit, but the neon transparent elements and color scheme caught my eye for MOC potential. When viewing it through the lens of a medium-sized spaceship from early ‘90s, I can appreciate the set as a compelling plaything.

 

The Bunny Mech, while not meant for minifigs, carries two intended bunny-pilots or a resting minifig. The butt of the ship can pop off to reveal either an energy fuel container or storage for valuables (if not just a microwave in a strange place).

The ship has interesting shaping, especially with the legs, and that great large dome element. Escape pod box gets checked. Stud-shooters are there to good effect as well.

 

The side-base, a moon cake factory, build is simplistic but charismatic and effective. There is a conveyor belt that might not be captured by my photos, which looks really good for the few elements used.

 

Simple carrot-rocket and hover-control station/Live-stream station are simple but effective small builds to add to the play value/storytelling.

 

A funny medium-sized kit with some good MOC potential. What do you think?

Finally in from Germany, my own wooden board, thank you Kurt(c:

 

This board is from around 1958, introducing the then just new bricks with tubes.

The board was used by toy shop owners to show to their customers how to use the new brick with tubes.

A few builds were gluid on there and people got to build on it, feeling how this new tube system made for more building fun.

See here for the original: www.flickr.com/photos/maxx361/11051928904/in/photostream/

 

The board is build up of a wooden back board, on it lay 7 thick baseplates 10x20.

The wooden plate is screwed onto the baseplates.

 

The bricks are all glued in place to the baseplates, so no other pattern can be made.

It is my understanding (from the text and new picture) there came more loose bricks with this, so the shop owner could show his buyers the possibilities.

 

The text reads in German:

"Please, build for yourself with LEGO and tell your buyers too, how easy it is."

 

The black part is cardboard glued on the baseplate.

The bricks are glued onto the cardboard.

 

It shows the different colors available at the time, the top and bottom of 2 bricks and a few cut bricks to show the inside.

Very special also are the 4 transparent bricks with one orange tube.

Showing how the new tube system works.

It was also used on the 1958 small box:

The plate measures 60 x 19 cm.

My latest LEGO concept brings us back to Egypt with the great Johnny Thunder and his friends in a race against the villainous duo Baron Von Barron and Sam Sinister, together they seek to acquire the lost treasures of Princess Anut.

 

This new Adventure starts with 5926 Desert Secrets and continues with 5968 The Cursed Race. Look for the individual posts of each set for more details.

As adorable as it is practical, the G0-G Unit work drone is the ideal companion for routine space station maintenance. Part of the G0 series, the suffixed 'G' designates this as the "grab" model. Strong electromagnets located in the "hands" of the unit allow it to carry any metallic parts to wherever they're needed.

Make a new friend today with the G0-G!

 

A little buddy I made with some small bits just to see what I could come up with. My sister said it should be called Gog because "it looks like it has goggles on". XD

1997’s Robo Raider! Check out this old LEGO Mech from a space sub-theme that I hardly remember!

 

I was a huge fan of the Space theme through the entirety of the 90’s, and was probably collecting the most LEGO of my childhood around ‘97, but when I came across this sub-theme I have a blind spot.

 

Exploriens? for sure. Insectoids and UFO? I was all about it. Robo Raiders? Never heard of ‘em.

 

Enough of my potential forgetful-ness, check out this funky robot.

This whole theme had some pretty rad prints, awesome neon transparent elements, and really cool mini-figs!

 

More RoboForce and older Space sets to be featured soon!

A sleek, beautiful vessel that has become a legend within the racing Viper community. Despite its advancing years, the Luctuosa can still outpace a lot of the competition.

But when your ship looks this good, not winning doesn't seem so bad.

 

-------------------------------------------

 

I recently decided to have a bit of a shuffle of my LEGO stuff that I've got "on display", which included taking this now-very-old MOC down to be donated to the shipyard. Before I break it up, I wanted to get some more up-to-date pics, as it's still one of my favourite ships I've ever built, and I wanted to do it justice and send it off in a blaze of glory. Long live the Vespa Luctuosa.

 

(Font is CF Spaceship by Cloutierfontes).

Rugged, reliable and, most importantly, very red. This little tractor is ideal for tackling all your ploughing and towing needs.

Take a stroll in Bonnie Bunny's Walker! This simple little mech is ideal for running around the local park before stopping off for a picnic with your friends.

Two very nice old boxes containing 2x4 bricks with Dutch writing on them.

 

This is how LEGO used to be sold before the themed sets.

LEGO has sold many types of brick box sets and till this day you can still buy asorted boxes with standard bricks.

 

Each box with a different number held different bricks, 218 is the number for 2x4 bricks.

The 218 box comes in several different looks and sizes.

 

The top box is the Dutch/Belgian box and has BOUWSTENEN-BRIQUES on it.

And SYSTEEM BIJ HET SPEL-DU SYSTEME DANS LE JEU.

The trophies I built for the art category at Bricks Cascade 2022.

Although unconventional in appearance, the Monochamus-type rover is a very practical and effective atmospheric sampling vehicle. The large wheels and high ground clearance allow it to tackle challenging terrain, and the large bubble canopy offers exceptional all-round visibility. The two sampling antennae probe the air to detect a wide range of substances; the resulting data can be used to help direct programs designed to reduce air pollution.

 

I originally started this build in February, and it was meant to be a FebRovery creation, but sadly time got away from me and I've only finished it now. Still, I'm happy with the result, and I hope you like it too!

Optimus Prime enters the LEGO City

(Never thought I’d get to write that!)

 

This build is very solid, hefty, and impressive in scale and detail. The range of articulation is better than I imagined and the model is incredibly faithful to the G1 Optimus Prime toy from mid-80s and cartoon. (You can watch the original episodes on HasbroPulse’s YT channel- I did while putting this together)

 

My only problem with this kit is that the leg stickers are upside-down when compared to the OG cartoon. That’s not a knock on the actual design and build, I assume a marketing error.

Simple fix: flip the 2x6 tiles around.

 

Took some busy shots with other large red mechs for scale. LEGO continues to improve on its mechs’ quality.

 

If you’ve seen what I post, I focus on LEGO and Hasbro Marvel products. The Transformers line now checks the box for LEGO, Hasbro, and Marvel! Too cool; when do you think the planet Cybertron will enter the MCU? Will Death’s Head show up in a future GotG?

Flat silver test brick the same color as the official LEGO brick.

The Cargo, All-Terrain Transport, or C.A.T.T., is a rugged and versatile utility vehicle used across the galaxy for moving cargo of all kinds. With its tough engineering and proprietary cargo connection system, the C.A.T.T. ensures safe and reliable delivery every time.

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?

Toa Tahu - ver.Bu(based the GAME design)

Many thanks to my Dutch friends for all there help in restoring this glued shop window display model

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

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 #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.

After impulsively buying the random mini figure box, the little detective inspired me to dig out my bricks and make him a car.

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.

“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.
