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?

1994’s Saucer Centurion from The most excellent Spyrius sub-theme!

 

The rover drop-ship feature, while super simple, is amazingly effective. Great figs and prints, that console print (not pictured) is one of my favs. And I’m always stoked to get some neon transparent windscreens and antennas in blue!

 

I loved this medium sized spaceship as a kid, very happy to have it back in my collection now. Hurray for nostalgia lol

 

More 90’s sets to be featured soon, including another Spyrius Saucer

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

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

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?

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!

1991’s Blacktron II little battle pack, The Two-Pilot Craft. What a name.

 

This fun little craft is about as basic as it gets. No printed pieces, other than the minifigs, but the weird thing has charm!

 

Blacktron II is a great space sub-theme with the black, white, and neon green color scheme. Really screams retro LEGO to me.

 

Acquiring this set was really just to grab a couple more of these minifigs for cheap, but I’m happy with this funny little craft.

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!

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

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

1994’s Saucer Centurion from The most excellent Spyrius sub-theme!

 

The rover drop-ship feature, while super simple, is amazingly effective. Great figs and prints, that console print (not pictured) is one of my favs. And I’m always stoked to get some neon transparent windscreens and antennas in blue!

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!

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?

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?

1991’s Blacktron II little battle pack, The Two-Pilot Craft. What a name.

 

This fun little craft is about as basic as it gets. No printed pieces, other than the minifigs, but the weird thing has charm!

 

Blacktron II is a great space sub-theme with the black, white, and neon green color scheme. Really screams retro LEGO to me.

 

Acquiring this set was really just to grab a couple more of these minifigs for cheap, but I’m happy with this funny little craft.

Parts I picked up in a PAB-style grab-box from the NeonBricks booth at #Brickfete Ottawa this year.

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
