It’s fun to browse EBay! Prices are all over the place but often you’re buying from pretty unknown sellers. Go there and search for “ Lego Battrax” and there will be many for sell.

Hi not sure I totally understand question… But “ bricklink” is a reseller site… which is owned by LEGO group. The resellers there all sell only LEGO and quality is all over the map! Buyers leave reviews which are helpful but I’ve found sellers very honest there. Hope that helps

An amazing set! And a great review! 3:00 Totally agree: The Black Knights deserve an emblem on their tunics.
@vintagebricks12 күн бұрын
I wonder if this lack of a distinct minifigure representing the theme holds back new castle sets being released?
@clipbricks881112 күн бұрын
@@vintagebricks Interesting theory. To me, the dragon emblem on the shields and the castles they featured are so iconic that I doubt this would pose a serious problem to the designers and the marketing team. My guess would be that LEGO(R) is currently focused on licensed themes, like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel etc. Call-backs or revivals of old castle theme factions have only been featured in sets like the Lion Knights' Castle or Forest Hideout, for example. These sets were targeted to collectors who grew up with the classic themes. But these sets seem to be goodies and not the start of a full sequel to those themes. Also, it could be that there has been a noticeable shift in children's play preferences towards digital entertainment, video games and tv series, which has affected the popularity of traditional toys such as LEGO(R) sets. This trend could make LEGO(R) hesitant to invest in themes that may not resonate with today’s youth. Give a kid the option to choose between a Black Knight's Castle or a Harry Potter Castle. I bet most would choose the latter. So, in summary, LEGO(R) probably doesn't see much revenue in bringing back old themes. But maybe we'll be surprised one day.

Great question! “Window shopping” old Lego sets can be fun to get an idea of cost and if you want to collect the set. A good place to start is a website “ brick set”. You could do a search for “black falcons” and they would link to all the set produced … minifigs in the set… reviews and links to a site you can buy used sets from “ brinklink” which is now owned by LEGO. Also if you have a local lego store they would be excited to help you on your collecting. Thanks for visiting!!!! And I’ll do a shout out to you at end of future video!!

I never had any Blacktron (or any Space sets), but I do remember them from the catalogues. They were the epitome of coolness. We didn't actually have much Lego back in the 80's, just a couple of small vehicles, like dune buggies. Instead we had a giant bucket of 'Toro' bricks which were somewhat compatible with Lego, but made of a softer plastic, and had much less variety to it. But we still had plenty of fun with it, making spaceships and stuff. In the 90s I was more into Technic than basic Lego System sets. It wasn't until adulthood that I got into Lego in a big way. Starting with Construction and Star Wars sets. I still buy a set or two each year. Just as a little treat for myself. Mostly things like Speed Champions.
@vintagebricks18 күн бұрын
Great post! I looked up "Toro" as I had never heard of them before. Looks like originated in New Zealand in 50s but I've never come across them. I do remember getting the kids "Mega Blok" , in the 1990s, you could make the set into a dinosaur. But you are Lego 'royalty' using sets from the start of minifigure days. Thanks again for sharing!

Nice retro sets, James! Blacktron is a super iconic line. I recall a 1980s Lego commercial featuring Zack the Lego Maniac. One of the lines from the commercial was “…he builds a Blacktron Cadillac! He’s Zack, the Lego Maniac!” Recently, I bought a bunch of classic Lego listings from eBay. I got a bunch of late 70s/early 80s minifigures, a lighting kit (set #970), and the iconic “All Terrain Vehicle” space set (#6927). Both the light kit and space set have original boxes!
