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!

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.
Just found an old picture of when I was younger under a bunch of 3001olds.
I was wondering where that picture had ended up.
That's an old picture of me with my dad.
And in case you are wondering, yes, that is my Mum in the background, shaving
her legs with my dads axe, he would not let her use the chainsaw again after
the unfortunate trouble she got into the last time with the daughter of our next door
down neighbours son in law.
My 2x4 collection started that day a long, long time ago in a far of galaxy where
this brick came out of the sky.
(or it might have been in our backyard, can't remember exactly, it was a long
long time ago after all)
I asked Pa what it was, he scratched his head and got his cigarettes out.
Lit one in a straight line and made a smoke square in the sky next to the crop
circle we found surrounding this weird brick.
Did I mention he was a very square guy, everyone around him thought so.
They used to get round him to keep him from taking a swing into the house which
my mother thought should be outside in the grassy knoll.
After a few puffs he said: "I don't know son..."
My dad has always been a very helpful guy he has.
So from that day forward I took upon me the mission of fighting crimes against
unwanted 2x4 bricks.
Going to places no one had gone before, seeking new bricks and new collections,
getting balder in the process.
Making a better place for those multicolored bricks in a blue, yellow, white
and red dominated world.
So far I have liberated many bricks from oppression, being locked up in dusty
old places and being mistreated.
You should see the scars on some of them as they come in, like they were bitten
or chewed.
Some are black and blue or even worse.
But after a nice welcome, a fair treatment and a nice warm bath in my place they
soon settle down and enjoy the view.
After all those years of being abused they now find themselves in the good company
of my pa, whom had stopped smoking after I told him it was bad for my bricks.
He just looked empty glassy eyed at me and asked me if that was some kind of
slang for balls, filling up his cup again after draining the pond for the coming
winter?
We both build a box to house the bricks in and lit his one to keep us warm and
used mine to sit on in the field to not get wet bottoms.
Pa hated a wet bottom he ones said, I did not ask, but now I knew why mother
always chose that spot close to the fire place.
"Did you ever think of that brick from the sky", I asked him?
"Where it might have come from, were it was going, why it was blue?"
He took his empty bag of cigarettes and lit one, puffed a nice triangle of smoke
to let me notice he thought I was gay for asking.
Now every time a new 2x4 brick arrives, I am feeling very gay, but to make it
so obvious a statement in the air for everyone but my ma to see, she was in the
house making dishes from that fight she had with pa over UFO's.
"No such thing as flying saucers" he said, plates flying over his head, smashing
into the wall behind me.
After a while you got used to the weekly trips to Ikea and started wondering
why we even owned a dishwasher.
He only cost money, so I decided to let my brother go, he could try and earn
a living somewhere else washing dishes.
After putting out his empty and now burned package of cigarettes he koffed and
finally answered my question.
"No," he said being the level minded person he was, he sat down and got back
out into the house using the stairs to go up into the basement, leaving me in
there looking down at the night sky, wondering why me....
Part of my 2x4 brick collection.
This part became to big for my normal frames, so I had to find a new way to store and display these.
Although not the biggest in different colors, the 8xC bricks still hold a big place in my heart.
These bricks came right after the ABCD test bricks when they chose the C brick as standard for the clutch power.
Naming it the C-standard.
These are drawers with 48x48 baseplates cut to size.
Now we have 8xC:
- no markings Denmark Billund
- stamped 03 and 04: found in Danish lots
- stamped 05 and without markings: Bayer, Germany
- stamped 06: Borg Warner, Netherlands
- stamped 07: DSM, Netherlands
- stamped 08: unknown (found a very few in a Bayer lot)
- without markings: Borg Warner Woodmar, West Virginia
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

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?

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.
The Crystal Explorer Sub from 1995’s Aquanauts enters the LEGO city!
Another great AquaZone submarine, this time a large yellow sub. The vibrant color scheme pops with yellow on black and blue, highlighted with neon orange space elements and those awesome blue windshields!
I didn’t have this sub as a kid, but this sub takes my favorite aspects of the Deep Sea Predator (#6155) and upscales the playable space. While some of the interior is narrow towards the stern, the amount of storage space is significant.
Prints are great with this set and it includes several chromed elements, which are always welcome.
I’m a huge fan of the helm’s design and ability to stand the minifig captain up properly. Overall, stoked to have this ship in the collection.
What are your thoughts on this ship? Did you have it as a kid?
As always, I really enjoyed getting shots of this and experimenting with LEGO and flight stands. More retro 90’s set to be featured soon

Diffugere nives, redeunt iam gramina campis

Frigora mitescunt zephyris, ver proterit aestas

Most of my MOCs are male so I figured I needed an excuse to practice female anatomy while still using certain human figure stylization that I'm rather fond of. I also wanted to mess around with adding a baseplate to a figure. She needed it.
Each year 15 outstanding Portland Metro students are selected for the Rose Festival Court. Comprised of junior and senior students, they spent their spring visiting community events, hospitals, youth organizations, and participating in the Rose Festival parades and events. They receive a college scholarship, a travel wardrobe, and mentoring from local business people.
Before the Grand Floral parade, one student is crowned Queen of Rosaria, a tradition that endured since the beginning of the Portland Rose Festival.

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!

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?

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.
You know summer has arrived on the island of Mata Nui when you hear the humming of this magnificent little Rahi. The Le-Wahi Bumbler is native to the Le-Wahi jungles, but has successfully spread around the rest of the island and can also be found on some of the smaller islets around the coast.
It is an important pollinator and part of the cycle of life on Mata Nui. Its large size and bright colours are a deterrent for most predators, but these critters are actually fairly docile, and can even make great companion Rahi with enough patience.
----------------------------------------
Here's a little build I've been playing with for a few weeks. It took a few passes, but I'm pleased with the end result. I need to try and work on blending System and constraction elements more.
Might not post anything for a while (not that I do very often anyway lol) after this. I didn't make it past the preliminary round for the Bio-Cup, which has got me pretty bummed out. I know there's the redemption rounds, but I don't know if I feel up to it. We'll see.
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

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?

An alternate build of set #31130 Sunken Treasure Mission. When I saw all those lovely Mixel joints I knew I had to build this! I could've tried to be a bit more creative with the sub/shell, but I thought it was already a pretty good shape for a hermit crab shell, so why change it?
Scientific name: Pylochelidae Gigantus
For a contest Art of Craft was holding. The boot is detachable from the splash base. It won't stop raining here, but yay for puddle splashing!
This placed third in the contest Art of Craft held. Awesome!

These are my old LEGO logo Bayers.
Some very nice colors in there.
I just noticed besides the dark trans-orange I have now added a trans-red.
(not in this picture yet)
The collection keeps growing, even after 7 or 8 years of collecting.
Most of these are CA, but there are some ABS in there too.
Most 'normal' colors are in there, like red, blue, yellow, transparent and white.
But black is mostly missing....
This may simply be because it's hard to detect a black Bayer amongst black LEGO.
The bricks with the holes all have the same mistake, so it was an on going mold mistake.
All bricks are different, either in color, plastic or mold.
And as always, if you have colors I don't have, let me know(c:
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
2023 update Sven:
“In October 2021 I presented a LEGO History Display at the LEGO event Bricks@friends in Cologne. I also presented my Bayer bricks there. On Sunday afternoon a mother, around 40 years old, suddenly stood in front of my exhibition with her little daughter and said: "Look, these are the bricks that mom made in her apprenticeship!" I got big elephant ears and asked this woman for futher informations. She knew the whole story about Bayer bricks and told me that at least until 2009 (the end of her apprenticeship as a chemical laboratory assistant at Bayer) the molding machine from the 1960s was housed in the Bayer Dormagen laboratory and trainees experimented with different plastics on this molding machine. The experiments were mostly about colors. The Bayer factory in Dormagen is located between Cologne and Düsseldorf, in the vicinity of Leverkusen. She couldn't tell me whether the molding machine is still there today. In any case, she was able to confirm to me that the maschine was used there until the end of the 2010s. When I asked whether I should have her contact details for further questions, she unfortunately answered in the negative. Her husband was pretty upset that we'd talked for so long. But she answered my question whether there are photos of the machine from the time in Dormagen. She didn't have any, and taking pics was prohibited in the laboratory.
Unfortunately, I had no choice but to thank her for this interesting informations.”
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 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.
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!

The MT-91 is an explorer's best friend in the icy wastes of the Martian poles. Chunky wheels driven by a heavy-duty V4 engine allow this mighty machine to cross almost any terrain, and there's enough storage for tools and samples in the back.
And of course, the cabin is well insulated and heated!
Built for Febrovery '22!
And yes, the pistons are connected to the wheels. Might stick a little video up at some point.
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.

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.
It looks really good!
Getting there was fairly tedious, even for someone who enjoys tedious hobbies
Here’s my take on BrickMax’s light kit-
What you get:
A remote, instructions, a bag of loose what appear to be legit LEGO, 18 individually wrapped lighting elements, wires, circuits, and a battery pack. Batteries not included.
Instructions are printed very clearly and with easy to follow photos.
Experience:
There is immediate satisfaction in lighting the horse carriage, so that’s a great start.
The process of lighting the Blacksmith building felt disjointed until the last few steps in the lighting process. Never had issues with putting LEGO over the lighting elements, but I did struggle with wrapping wires to get them out of the way. The tree was a rough time for me as the original build, without 6 wires streamed through, was not the most stable. The battery boxes are also the wrong size but modified to work, which is weird but not an issue.
The majority of interior has a decent amount of wires exposed, as does the back. So this is a case of a ‘camera-friendly side’ and a ‘back’.
The wires also diminish the ability to take the floors apart, which I assume is a given.
Then there’s the last couple steps, and it finally ties it all together. Once the battery pack was plugged in and I hit the remote’s ‘on’ button my jaw dropped. “It looks really good!”
TL;DR- was a pain, I don’t enjoy tinkering with wires, but instructions were clear, product was adequate, and it looks really nice when finished!
Thank you team at Susengo for sending me the kit and the opportunity to try lighting up my bricks!

Far more deadly than its namesake, the Manta is a fast, powerful and highly-maneuverable fighter craft that forms the backbone of the Blacktron fleet. This ship is built around a tough, solid core that provides optimum pilot protection, and power comes from the same units found in the Fantail escape craft; however, they are tuned slightly differently to provide better efficiency and comfort for regular flight, rather than the urgency of fleeing a battle ASAP.
Offensive capabilites are provided by a battery of laser cannon: two fixed guns in front of the cockpit, and two rotating guns mounted at the wings. These rotating units can be programmed to lock on to targets, which is especially useful in intense battle situations.
You don't want to get caught by this ray's sting!
