Lovely set! You're right though, they missed a trick not having slick/wet tyres

My brother once had a Lego Technics Ferrari, had a little battery power motor too. Was a great kit, so intricate and innovative way back then... 25+ years ago. Oh I feel old lol 😅

I agree with the mechanic’s of the arms. I think it does look better all closed up versus open. Overall looks really good.

I like this one, but my son will love it!

Love the camera plan with the Oled Switch in the background! Great content Glen!

This looks like a really decent set for a good price.

I'd moved on from Lego a few years before this one, but I love the minifigures from black tron

I loved the Blacktron sets as a kid, though I mostly had the series 2 sets. I'm definitely looking to pick up this one for my birthday.

Hey Chief! Just wanted to say Kudos on the channel! I came here from SU! I’ve been getting into Lego this last year and it’s great to hear your takes! Defo wanna get the Tudor Corner and try to get some of the available Previous modular sets. My confidence isn’t there to build my own just yet so I would lean towards preset builds! Keep up the good work!

I think you may need to get out of London a little more, because it wouldn’t be in my top 10 English cities with Tudor buildings (eg Chester, York, etc) and I’m in Miami.

First time watcher, here from the SwtchUp promo. Regularly watch you on SwitchUp and came here to support this channel too. While I didn't expect to see anything here I wanted to buy (came because I like the sound of your voice and your approachable vibe), but when you were talking about the BlackTron, I think this was one of the space sets I actually had as a child! I really liked that set (and space sets in general) when I was a kid and I may consider getting this one to do with my 9yo son who otherwise generally leans into the Lego Minecraft genre. Anyway, thanks for the fun content - and I'm rooting for you and your continued KZbin success!

Came for the Switch news; stayed for the Lego... Another Sub from me.

Loved Blacktron, even though they were unavailable or too expensive for me back in the day. I had some of the later space sets, including one M-tron set. All the nostalgia pieces fit together quite nicely with this retro review. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Just saw that Nintendo and Lego are doing a GameBoy collaboration -

We were very disappointed that the StarWars Skeleton Crey 'The Onyx Cinder' set: 75374 doesn't have SM-33 the Pirate Robot in it who to us was one of the main characters....

The Mario cart ones are very nice 😊 but hey, I’m looking forward to see the sweet shop moc you were building, I want to see how those windows turned out!

Other than the tumbler I’m looking forward to the 2 new small scale Star Wars ships and the 3 in 1 dragon set. After your last video I think I’ll need the blacktron as well, lol.

I do love the Blacktron set, but I get what you mean. I think it's all the yellow brick around the transparent screen. Looks a bit like overkill.

I'd totally forgotten that the Blacktron sets had the Triforce all over them...

Which sets are your most anticipated from this January 2025 wave? Have you picked any of them up yet? Let me know in the comments section!

This set looks absolutely awesome. Potentially swap this for my unopened Bugatti Chiron 75878 set?

Had some of these sets, but not this one. Might be able to get a couple of unopened retro sets to send you - I’ll have to get back to you on those (basically argue with my kids!)

*flashbacks of M-Tron team trying to fix various vehicles while this one Blacktron fig kept sabotaging everything... then for some reason there were wormhole shenanigans and ye olde pirates turned up with a shark

Love switch up. I still watch it even though I don’t play my switch very much. Love Lego, love you guys, can’t wait to watch this channel……even though you don’t like d&d

The Lego Piranha Plant is a good one to display Mark

I had no idea thst Lego was do complex back than, and its very vool looking set. Unfortunately my family never bought me Lego sets back then. They never bought me Legos when i was kid.

Don't forget Mark to ban any 'legos' 😂

I believe I picked up a classic space ship last year or the year before, can’t remember when. Mainly remembered the blue and grey sets. I do think I knew anything about these ones. Would love to add one space ship to my collection just to have one of each side of the story.

I had some of the earlier Lego space vehicles but had tuned out of Lego by this stage. But I have been reading through the Lego space book that came out last year and the later Blacktron sets are really well designed and interesting. Great look at this set in detail.

"All range mode!" tee hee Yeah, lets have some Starfox Lego!

Wow, those mechanisms look so advanced for that simpler time. I can imagine kids getting so excited for this set back then! Love the idea to showcase some old gems like this ❤ and happy new year!

The original space sets were my jam when I was young and built lego. That Blackton takes me way back!

Wow, I love the nostalgia this look back brings. I didn’t have this set, but I did have a number of the Space sets, including some of the ones you had flashed. Such great memories. Looking at this set is like opening a time capsule. It’s amazing to see the differences in official Lego design from then and now. I doubt you’d ever see a mostly flat base in a set these days, yet there was so much charm and so much fun to be had with all of those moving parts, side builds, and how they all work together. Less complex, perhaps, but likely more fun! Great video, as always!

I had a couple of the Blacktron 2 sets as a kid. They were the ones with the white uniforms. I seem to remember they had shoulder hoisted rocket packs too.

I made this retro review a few months back for a set from one of my favourite sub-themes as a kid. I contemplated if we'd ever see a return for Blacktron. Lo and behold, a new Blacktron set has been announced for 2025, so I reckon it's time to release this video! It's an older video, so the set-up isn't as good as the one I use now, but hopefully you'll still enjoy it. Is this a set you have any nostalgia for? Let me know in the comments section. Happy New Year everyone!

Missing out on Simpsons(had 1 sold regret selling it) ninjago city, green grocer, cafe corner, Queen Anne, black pearl, kwik-e-mart among others. I have welcome to apocalypseberg, pirates of barracuda bay (2 of them)

Those Monkey kid sets are wild! They look incredibile 😊 glad to see you’re feeling better by the way 💪🏼

Seeing Benny's broken helmet on the Lego Movie space set just unlocked some childhood memories!

I hear ya' on some of your 'missed' sets. A few you have are on my list too. I was like you when having a kid. Collecting had to take a back seat naturally. I got my Top 10 regrets here...sob...;) - 852293 Castle Giant Chess Set (just plain missed picking this up, but to my defense at that time I was out of the Dark-Ages for only like a year or two and wasn't too heavy yet in collecting Lego yet). - Yoda Minifig - NY I Heart Torso (was on a school day, picked up my son from school and was planning on heading down - we live in NYC - but we were hungry and just wanted to eat and head home, plus my kid was tired from school. Who KNEW it'd be this valuable today). - 10237 Tower of Orthanc (another I slept on and missed out). - 70840: Welcome to Apocalypseburg! (really regret this the MOST. Saw it on sale too at Costco for $200 at that time, missed it, then the pandemic came and wasn't thinking about collecting and now, yikes the price for a mint one. I WILL get it eventually. Saving up for it now). - 10236 Ewok Village (could've gotten this FREE. At an NYC comic convention where Lego had some sets on display for kids to play with. They mentioned if I came back with my son they'd hook us up since they were giving away stuff on the last day of the show. And unfortunately we couldn't make it back to their booth on that last day. Ughhh). - 21010 Robie House (another just slipped by. Lovely dark red and design throughout). - 21005 Fallingwater (another Frank Lloyd Wright's brilliant design I missed from Lego). - 21311 Voltron (planned on getting it, saw prices AFTER it was retired that were low to fair, then boom a couple years back prices exploded on the aftermarket. Will eventually get it). - 10255 Assembly Square (another I just procrastinated on). - 7682 Shanghai Chase ( i have EVERY Indy set, my fav Lego theme, except this one. I completely really spaced on getting this. Seemed like it was on the shelf for a very short time at my local shop).

Lego should pair modulars with a line-up of four-stud cars.

Batman 66’ has been the best for me this year. I didn’t get the jaws set for Xmas.

Holy moly, I had no clue you had a Lego channel!

That Ninjago is downright a Gundam.

The video quality is better on the last couple. Didn’t notice until this one. Have a great holiday season sir!

Endurance no minifigs scale is a sxxxt, JAWS above all. Mountain fortess bricklink faboulous, also parisian street is very good.

Great video as always. Things have certainly changed with Lego over the years! I’d love Lego to do a ‘retro’ series in the coming years and bring back some old sets, unlikely I know….

The endurance story is incredible until you look at the recieving party. They had deaths and all sorts of problems also, all trying to help shackelton, who wasnt coming. Then you realize shackelton ran aground only 100 miles from where they planned to start the expedition, why tf didnt he just do the expedition? 100 more flat miles isnt that big of deal when crossing a continent. A great story on the surface look a little deeper and the endurance is a huge tragedy.

Oh man, I’m a huge D&D nerd. I want that D&D set so badly. I’ve looked at it in Lego stores dozens of times. It has so many wonderful nods and Easter eggs to the hobby. If I only had the space and $350…… someday! The D&D minifigs are actually pretty wonderful. I was able to get the whole set of 12. Good stuff! Great list! Happy holidays!

I don’t have it, but the Endurance looks ace! Merry Christmas Glen!
