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.
More ‘90s LEGO to be featured soon, including more (larger) Blacktron II

A spaceship spacEsHiP SPACESHIP! built as a companion to the Horizon Chariot Febrovery build.
Built around a NinjaGo arcade pod, it features folding wings and seats two minifigures.
This is NOT my creation, this is a little Rover shown in the Idea Book 250 (from 1987).
As I have now almost all the space sets from before 1996, I expand my collection with oddities, like things shown in the old Ideas Books. This one is really charming IMO, hope my photos will give Spacers the will to build it :-D
Instructions can be found here

I have created a nimble reconnaissance space craft based on the Lego Classic Space colorscheme. The model comprises of less than 300 bricks in its current form. This third generation MOC is an asymmetrical build which incorporates a part selection stretching multiple decades. The aim was to create a relatively small set with a modern yet friendly appearance based upon epic heritage. The craft is designed for reconnaissance work but is suffienciently equipped to defend itself if deemed required. It features next level equipment to scan its surroundings. Propulsion is achieved through an anti-matter reactor coupled to a warp drive. Ufonium element 115 is stored in the double armoured fuel tank. The ship contains 2 anti-anti-matter seeking missiles and 4 miniature rocket boosters which remotely attach to medium sized asteroids posing a threat to any minifigure astronaut wandering through the voids of imagination. ;-)
Real men drill! I believe is the quote... Well .. Benny is for Real and demolishing is his middle name!
Curious how long he can drill? Watch youtu.be/2avEoO2Tn7U
Neo Classic Space ship
Small short-range utility spacecraft for 1 pilot. Equipped with dual engine, wide range sensors and communication arrays and light laser cannons. Main purpose - search for lost droids and machinery maintenance.
Includes two detachable vehicles under side cockpits, robot, and toolbox. Ship can be easily modified to fit 3 guys or equipped with sleeping pods, etc...
I needed something small and swooshable. I chose simple and famous theme, simple and famous shape. And then I needed to make it a little extra. Here comes slightly different color scheme and functions.
A self contained Research Base, built on a planet in the cold icy depths of space.
The first floor houses the main access airlock and the lab and bio-dome where the scientists carry out all their experiments.
The second floor houses the habitation block, with bunk beds, a kitchenette and toilet facilities.
The third floor has a store and laundry and a second airlock allowing roof access.
The roof contains all the communication equipment and an observation (or angry) dome.
Check my flickr stream for pictures of the internals
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!

The Classic Space Federation commissioned Aratech Repulsor Company to build a customised version of their 74-Z speeder bike for federation use. The bike had extended range and improved sensor array, and became popular with federation pilots, and despite many repeat orders, there were never enough to meet demand. They were highly prized among the pilots who got hold of them.
Llwyngwril Systems designed the Lunar Lorry as an amphibious vehicle to be used in locations such as the Sea of Tranquility. Particular attention was paid to salt water performance and corrosion resistance. This was despite the fact that it had been known for centuries that the Moon's "seas" were devoid of water. When later questioned about the lorry's design, the notorious Vehicle Design Department just smirked and ran away giggling.
The Lunar Lorries proved useful for transporting large, heavy objects around the planet. A typical load was the Power Functions IR receiver and AAA battery pack seen here. The lorry employed a skid-steer design which was never particularly effective. After a short service life, the Lunar Lorries had their power plants and other equipment removed and were used as static displays at events promoting the lunar life.
You can see a video of the lorry in action here. I'm not quite sure why it doesn't work. I think that it's to do with the difference in the friction between the tyres and floor and force needed to bend the worm/cog combination out of form, which allows it to slip.
Space Cowboys.
Including a Blacktron vs Space Police standoff, a stagecoach rover, some vaguely horse-shaped speeders, most of my astronaut corps and a robot cactus
Everybody knows that the best way to travel in space is neither by star ship across the galaxy nor by rover across a moon. The best way has always been and will forever remain to travel by monorail. But where did it all begin?
Unsurprisingly, the "creative" types in the notorious Vehicle Design Department of Llwyngwril Space Systems had a hand in the early development of the monorail. They decided that their various designs for rovers and buggies were far too practical and useful. It would be far more interesting for spacemen to travel on fixed narrow, tracks whilst delicate balancing a speeding vehicle.
These archive pictures show the early prototypes being tested. It was powered by two clockwork, "pull-back" motors. Fortunately the astronauts of Classic Space eventually award the contract to a rather more sensible design bureau.
You can see a film of the machine in action here.
I"ve made a Classic Space Version of the First Order's Special Forces Tie Fighter set by repainting it blue,and repainting the cockpits Tr. Yellow. And I added a satellite dish on the Tie fighter
