to slug in complete darkness and feel the freezing winds of death In winters frosty grip the woods are truly cold. In a land of desolation

Haha, I had no idea this set had wheels under the feet!

I feel like I want the Robo Stalker to have some kind of bowtie module to become a face for the robot when the head is away.

Roboforce goes wild with it's mech designs! Was that a slug-eye in the Roboforce logo?

It's a nice figure, but the leg printing gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever.

Keep up the references Slugger. I dig 'em!

442 Space Shuttle. A classic space ship with a white spaceman. That little guy in his spaceship traveled all over our house. Every carpet was a different planet. My aunt brought it back from Germany, if I recall correctly. But the memory is dripping with nostalgia.

I always love when you put Star Trek clips in. Robo Stalker how could you fire on such a beautiful ship, for shame!

Cool

"I'm a little unclear as to what the motivation is for both parties." Sir, you need to call your inner child. Why would you need a motivation to catch dinosaurs? Clearly, having them in your possession is worthwhile.

This set is my childhood. Spent so much time modifying and rebuilding it, always coming back to the original design. No other pieces were in my vision as much as these were.

As a fellow Canadian, but born to late to enjoy these sets in my childhood... I have wanted the Tibet sets more than anything since I discovered this old line! As you mentioned there's a colonial overtone, however, I do wish that Lego attempted a similar line in the future; have a gang chase the villain through a number of countries. Then Lego can have reoccuring characters to collect each set... But all as a guise to just have fun and release sets based worldwide, introducing kids to architecture and culture across the globe

Speaking of alt builds, there are two new dreams sets which each have 20 builds in total, complete with instructions for each build. Sets 71487 and 71488. They remind me of those old lego "designer" sets (i.e. creator sets before they were called that). Like set 4099 or 4097 for example. They always had tons of different models, both big and small. Maybe they're trying to bring back the alt build spirit... Granted, half of those instructions are digital only, but I'll take what I can get.

a while back, I went to a thrift shop and found both sets, 8503 and 8506, they seem to be in good conditions, but the downside is that they don't include their pods and discs

That Star Trek edit really got me 😂

ok

That's a great set! Hey, with 4 copies, you can make all the alt builds and keep that assembled, and keep the main model assembled, and have one to take apart and put back together, AND one to part out for other things! Because I know you love building your LEGO and just leaving it on display on a shelf!

My god, I can't comment on this video because KZbin thinks I'm talking about actual historical conflicts of shooty pooties in space :')

The first thing of which I thought when the video started is how similar a vibe it has to the Robo-Guardian.

Dual Pilots?? Tengen Toppa Robo Stalker??

I always appreciate the rare instances when a minifigure is fully enclosed in an ‘airtight’ cockpit in these old Space sets, so that chest cavity is a big win in my eyes. The legs, however… 😬 Definitely could’ve used some posable joints there.

The star treck segment reminded me of Transformers reviewer The Lazy Eyebrow, who filled his reviews with stop motion of the toys and would often include comedic segments not dissimilar to the one in this video. He is currently on hiatus, and didnt upload all too frequently when he was, but every time he did was always a treat.

That throwaway little red riding hood joke is the exact kind of thing I LOVE in your videos

That helmet is so dang cool...

3:47 I did NOT see that coming, haha! Nice work on the built laser blast, I flipped through it frame by frame to fully appreciate it. I'll have to keep that dish + technic axle combo in mind for some space engine or sensor/radar thing.

Crazy, I won that guy as a prize back in the 90s. There were always Lego building contests in the Lego Club print magazine that I had an subscription for. Man, that feels so long ago.

I want to see you take the wheels off of the Robo Stalker and put them on the Eradicator Mech's feet.

The space craft that forms this robot's head, with those wings that can fold up, reminds me SO much of the Hover Pilder from Mazinger Z that I suspect it may have been an inspiration for the set designer. I'd love to see a stop motion recreation of the docking scene from the classic 1970s anime using the Robo Stalker!

For me this always have been THE GOBLIN. The blue cones are the eyes! Long ears, long nose, grabby hand and crazy weapon choice? SOUNDS LIKE A PERFECT ROBO GOBBO!

I had this set when I was a kid and I completely forgot about it! Thank you

I was *not* expecting a Galaxy Squad segment in this video. Such a great theme and a great set to focus on. I should really get around to posting the Helldivers 2 x Galaxy Squad mech MOC I made last year... 😅🤭

New RR slugger video means today is a good day

Twin employment was high back then.

As a massive shogun warriors fan I’m surprisingly ok with the wheels on the feet!

This one of my first lego sets. Had some aqua raider before this one

Rasta Rasputin Slugger is here again!! Yaaaaaayyy!!! 🙂

Ice Planet not being S tier is criminal

it's always interesting to see just how much Lego used those mailboxes in old sets. And also the creative liberties they took when using them on things.

I was expecting Galaxy Squad to enter the conversation during an Insectoids video. This retrospective is the gift that keeps on giving!

I'm so glad to see you post a new video. I was afraid you're done with lego content since trixbrix is back. I hope you'll post more often, I really enjoy listening to you. Have fun mate!

Y'know, Slugger, if you perhaps sent me one of those extra Robo Stalkers you have, I certainly wouldn't protest... since surely you don't need them all, right? Jokes aside, great video! I feel like I've really slept on Roboforce, mostly because it's a bit of an oddball compared to the other 90s space themes, but I may have to remedy that soon. Also, love a good TNG reference (and I'm not old)!

lmao at the Encounter at Farpoint + Generations bit. Perfect 5:10 You know what that means! Time to combine all of them into a MEGA MECH like it's Throwbots or something 5:57 Mechs with skates are rad, but if the legs don't move, then it's just a parade float. Lame. 7:05 That is a great alt build. That quasi-remake is pretty cool too.

I was not expecting an Ultima Underworld reference in an RR Slugger video today.

I don't know why, but the Robo Stalker reminds me of Starmen from Earthbound. The arms can be put into the same pose as them thanks to the great articulation.

Slugger, this is entirely unrelated to this video, but I recently got an incredible deal on Facebook Marketplace and I’ve been dying to let you know. I found a listing for a Time Cruisers lot that came with not only the Rocket Racer, Hypno Cruiser, Flying Time Vessel, Whirling Time Warper, and the Twisted Time Train, but all of their original instructions, the tops of the boxes (that I assume the original owner cut off) for all except the Rocket Racer, AND the purple storage tub! And get ready, I got it all for $90 USD after tax and shipping! The sets all together were missing 10 pieces, but otherwise all in good condition. For some reason one of the copies of Tim accidentally had his original torso, ironically, swapped for the torso used for Max Timebuster! I apologize for the unrelated comment, I was just so excited to share.

Great video as always, Slugger!!

Would love to see someone make an updated walking version.

Wait I actually have one of those sloped eye pieces. Gives me dreamzzz vibes a bit

I hate legends of chima

slug time slug time wooop
