13:49 i had the large ice planet ship as a child!!!! Many hours of adventures with that one kit alone!!! 😃😃😃

[@Mogr4in]

Amazing collection but u have not all sets (on the table) - 6957 space police\ 6813 space police \ 6889 spyrius (i didnt see this 3 sets in the video)

8:00 I know a boy his name is Zach, his micro chips are outa wack! He builds a Blacktron Cad illac, IT'S ZACH THE LEGO MANIAC!!

[@zackakai5173]

Objectively I recognize how dated these sets look by modern standards, but there's something about them I still love. Maybe it's just nostalgia speaking, but it reminds me of a time when LEGO was more about creativity and less about Star Wars licenses (not that I don't also love the Star Wars sets, I just wish there were fewer of them and more of this sort of thing).

[@Ogre6972]

Agreed. It's one reason why I LOVED "Alien Conquest" and "Galaxy Squad". Reminded me so much of these old sets...plus, they had awesome play value for the kids! (add "Monster Fighters", "Kingdoms" and "Pharaoh's Quest" to the list and you end up with my top five themes from the last decade, or so)

[@juliusbreuer5329]

I totally agree with you!

[@Esoteric-maiden]

I wish lego would go back to this instead of having so many licensed themes. Bring back original ideas please

[@Descalabro]

@@Esoteric-maiden Yes, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. all of that is shit.

[@jonathanpresson9550]

I used to just use these studs to play Star Wars.

[@ZiptoZapto]

For someone born in the 2000's who never even heard of these sets, and only discovered them through old instructions my dad owned, seeing all these in one area is really cool. I'm mostly just amazed at how many transparent parts there are, and in all those different colors too!

[@UJV2010]

I had a lot of trans everything and I never really saw what these sets were

[@ZopcsakFeri]

I was born in 1986 and inherited a bag of "random" LEGO bricks in 1990 with no comments on them whatsoever, no instructions, just bricks in a plastic bag. I had never seen the complete sets that those bricks were from, but I still have them, and these days, with the magic of the Internet, I could actually build them from online instructions and see them for the first time in 24 years... :D I had some of the LEGO City firefighter and rescue sets all along, and never saw them assembled until now!

[@angrykermit3192]

When I think back to how many of these space LEGO sets I had it really makes me appreciate the amount of money my parents spent lol.

[@SergeyPRKL]

OMG i had all of these except the latest monorail :( i just gave my legos away...

[@michaelswitzer2121]

Stinky Whizzletooth my mom wouldn't get me all of them at some point she just started saying you have lots of legos why not just make those new spaceships out of the parts you have lol

[@XMattingly]

Wow, man. You demoed almost half of my childhood in 13 minutes; a lot of warm and fuzzies over brick sets I haven’t thought about in years. And for the record, I _LOVED_ the robot command center! What is _NOT_ awesome about a giant robot that you ride around in and have adventures? Doesn’t have to make sense with an adult brain; it just has to engage your imagination and be _fun_ to play with when you’re a kid. 😎🚀

[@michaelmessina5341]

Same. I had most of those sets as well.

[@almightyarjen]

A memory lane it was indeed! Classic space remains one of my favorite themes from Lego. Cool video!

[@two-face1041]

[@zenshy2139]

COOL!

[@martinkanchev7569]

classic space and the deep sea explorer theme are the coolest by far

[@Sinjinator]

They should bring them back.

I've seen a few of these "total Space collection walk throughs" and I like this guy's enthusiasm. It made it a better watch.

[@Quaz72]

Thanks! I was afraid people would think "Oh here is another stroll through Space sets". I am really glad people have enjoyed this video. Guys caught me off guard and my banter is totally off the cuff. :P

That tears run down my cheek when I found Captain Future Grag Model Back a few weeks ago :-D

[@Evan_Boxer-Cook]

After finding my uncle's old instructions and pieces in my grandparents' attic, I was able to build a few classic space sets. I had to make quite a few substitutions, but a large portion of the sets are made with original pieces. Also, I enjoyed Space Police III growing up, but I've totally fallen in love with the original Space Police and Blacktron lines.

[@TheLegik1]

I got my uncle's old bricks but sadly never got a hold of the instructions so I just ended up building whatever I wanted with them. Not a bad thing of course but looking back it would've been cool to restore those sets to their original glory.

[@woof3065]

omfg this is so epic.. I had many of these oldest sets with my brother when we were kids... and boys being boys there is not much left of it -.- I do have the older white sets complete and blacktron, my alltime fav.

[@SylvainThuret]

I'm a space set guy and this warms my heart. I owned maybe 15 out of these, from classic to Futuron & M Tron. I asked my mom for the Monorail for Christmas and she said it was way too expensive. I believe it was something like 200 dollars (1200 francs) and she was right. I was like 8 and it was way too much money even for christmas. Yet i wish i had it. Its great to see them fully assembled side by side. Lego is wonderful.

[@dj__alien]

Idk what it is, I never grew up with classic space sets, but I feel nostalgic for the simple designs and play features of 90’s+ classic space. Especially for Black Tron, Space Police, and Ice Planet, it reminds me of Alpha Team: Deep Freeze and Mars Mission I used to play with as a wee lad

[@sloanlance]

I like your interview style videos. It's nice to hear from people who know (and sometimes lived) the history of the LEGO sets.

[@mjp152]

M-Tron and Ice Planet were my jam! And the first monorail - oh the hours I spent modifying that one. Sitting in my room, lego pieces in piles on the floot, listening to stories on cassette tapes and just building away. Those days are some of my best childhood memories. Thanks for taking us on this trip.

[@jameslangridge1674]

Late to the party, but wow, awesome trip down memory lane. My mom just recently sold our family home and asked me if I wanted to get all my old toys and stuff in storage in one of the backroom cupboards. My wife said leave it, but I insisted on going, telling her I had tons of Lego sets, Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars in old suitcases, He-man figurines and some other stuff. She was like, just leave it, it is junk. Glad I didn't listen, as my son has just become super interested in Lego and she went to go see the prices of even a small set and was overwhelmed. I proudly whipped out my suitcase full of Classic, Futuron and Blacktron space sets, Classic Town and more. Sadly, I have no plans or boxes anymore. Now need to find the plans online. My son is in for a treat!!!!

[@erdemsimsek6226]

I am 36 years old and when I was little, a relative gave me a Solar power transporter and introduced me to Lego. I would build it by looking at the picture and I would also create other formations using the same parts. Those were incredible times of imagination, now I couldn't stop myself from crying when I saw him in this video...

[@rscarlberg]

Wow this takes me back. I spent hours playing with my Legos. Started collecting in like 1972. Way before mini figures. And I still have them.

[@Visuwyg]

MTron and Blacktron2 really are the pinnacle of design. Those huge Rovers, how I lusted after them as a kid!

[@RebelBuilder]

Lots of memories in that video, thanks!

[@dogbadger]

I had the really early stuff and stopped getting it as a child around '82 as they moved from predominatly grey to blue. I still have most of it today - I loved all lego but classic space in particular was the best toy I ever had. What I remember and love almost as much as the models themselves were the box pictures - often featuring a single, lonely figure with a small vehicle, on a barren sandy planet set against the vast emptyness of space.

[@lukassima86]

I am 33yrs old and THIS IS NOSTALGY AF! ... love it

[@yorguenaut4499]

Dude the train its just amazing. I remember my aunt bought me the Blizzard Baron (6879) I loved that one so much with the Ice-planet theme. And regarding all the classic space sets, the transparencies, the green neon pieces... this is just too amazing. I love this set!!!

[@alphonsbretagne8468]

0:43 this one I had back in the days. now my nephews play with the pieces I left unbroken :D

[@Sinjinator]

I did too! Loved loading the little buggy into the back of the spaceship.

[@jubeikibagami1601]

So cool! My dark ages were the 90's. I grew up in the 70's-early-80's and had many of the more modest original space sets and they fueled my love of LEGO, schi-fi, anime, and all things geeky. That was a great collection. Never seen most of the later sets as I tended to turn my nose up at the later LEGO stuff like Nexo Knights and other obscure things I would see with new colors and shapes. Now I am an adult with a job and I'm back in the game teaching my 6-yo how this stuff is timeless. Thank you!

[@abbaszaidi8371]

This makes me cry. The huge transporter cruiser that opens at the back that my brother had, my first ship at 3.19, the missile transporter on wheels just before that and the ship that splits in three just before 4.50. I used to get one set a year for my birthday. My kids are just spoilt now

[@razorfett147]

The mobile lab was my first set. Received it as a Christmas gift back in 82 or 83...and it kickstarted my Lego hobby which has survived all the way into my 40s

[@secretsquirrel6718]

The photography on the boxes. Probably 120mm with the black background and sand was so cool and inspiring.

[@hereigoagain04]

Thank you so much for showing this. This was such a huge part of my childhood. It was almost like therapy seeing it all again. You just made my day.

[@AJJIEmendelebar]

I remember receiving a M-Tron spaceship (9:15) as a Christmas gift back in 1992. One of the best presents ever! ❤️

[@Mistrblank]

I had that weird robot station @4:20 and I absolutely loved it. But I can also confirm it was one of the first sets to get torn down to make something else that was awesome. That one and the set in the white and blue shuttle with the two side pods that could detach and then attach to each other are the two I would really want to rebuild today. You see it next to the monorail @7:53 with the big transparent blue full cover with "200" painted on. Both of those sets are just the fondest from my childhood. I can't believe how much of the "Space" sets I actually got to play with. And it did sort of end when I stopped "playing" with LEGO. Then of course a short time later we ended up with LEGO Star Wars, but I had "outgrown" LEGO, and now here I am building with it again in my 40's.

[@smgdfcmfah]

The weird robot station was the last lego set I ever got as a kid (maybe 13). I think I had ever single set available up to that point (certainly every major set - maybe missing a couple little vehicles. I rarely asked for anything for my birthday or Christmas other than lego - and it was specifically "space lego" for the last 4 or 5 years.

[@nickt9467]

This is an awesome video. Passion, depth, and history. This guy keeps it light but you can tell he's so, so into it. Good point on the kids today seeing the same play feature potential as the kids of yesteryear in certain sets.

[@darthplagueis3400]

I ended up with an awesome haul when I helped my mother in law by cleaning out her shed. There were quite a few classic space sets and they all went home with me. One of the sets was the monorail. It was a pretty awesome haul still sorting through it.

[@BeyondtheBrick]

Nice!

[@clarasdk]

Being a kid in Denmark in the 70's and 80's I had many of the early space sets and loved them :) Probably the parts is still in a box somewhere, maybe I should see if I can find them and build them again. Such cool toys back then :)

[@TheGreatD_Mize]

Legos, Tyco Super Blocks, and Construx (not to be confused with Mega Construx) were some of my favorite toys growing up.

[@bendanielsmusicnow4533]

Got the big ship you see first for Xmas when I was about six years old - loved it and what was great was that you had so many karts you could make your own different versions of ships - I only made the big one with the instructions now and again as more about making your own ideas up they were brilliant toys and on many levels very sophisticated for the times they felt hyper Modern and futuristic such happy memories x

[@kristian4805]

Some of the best. And inspired me to build long spaceships as kid, with sections and airlocks, etc. Great memories.

[@cabellism]

As a kid who grew up in the 90s, these sets was my childhood, space, underwater, and the polar sets.

[@gustavg]

Oh wow - nice job. I think I have most of the older ones in some plastic boxes in my son´s room. He never built them and he never played with them. But I played with them for years when I was a kid and that is also why I never gave them away.

[@magellandufour1]

11:42 OMG! I had no idea that kit could do that. That is Fantastic! I miss the 90's

[@Bart-Did-it]

I had quite a few of theses sets from when I was 5 and over the years they got played with almost every day and in days out and basically lost 90% of at least 15 sets from space to castle. Now I treasure what’s left and according to all the lego hype with more than I thought possible so double love now.

[@DrNickBailey]

I never even knew of that last range - and the transition of the monorail's cockpit onto the rover - wow!

[@harbl99]

That grey/blue/yellow brick palette. Right in the nostalgia!

[@razorfett147]

I would love to see Lego do a Space 2.0 revival series. Recreate some of the classic space kits using modern pcs and build techniques, along with creating some new sets done in that same classic theme/aesthetic.

[@Martin120577]

I saw some pretty recognizable lego, especcially at the beginning of the video. I gave my son my whole lego set. I played lots and lots of hours with it, and he continues playing with. great stuff... Yes, this all brings back memories. Nice video!

[@ShaunCullen]

My cousin had M-Tron and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I had a bit of the Blacktron 2 but Ice planet was really my first (and only) space theme, funny how quickly I grew out of lego at the time, too cool for school. But I guess I came in at the time where there wasn't that much classic space stuff left in the timeline.

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

9:00 I had that left side shuttle, it was 3 module transport thingy. 9:27 Also had that biggest 6 tires vehicle. Such a nostalgy trip.

[@ChristianW1975]

What a wonderful collection. As a LEGO employee i really appreciate your enthusiasm

[@johnhuldt]

I love it! Great work, Dana! 8:44 was a reference to me! Haha. BLACKTRON ALL THE WAY!

[@Quaz72]

Yes it was ;)

[@rogerwilco2]

A big trip down memory lane. I have most of the sets up to the Black Tron/Space police stuff. Not all of the bases and big ships but most of it. So basically 1977-1991. Very nice collection.

[@Bigalinjapan]

That is so awesome, it almost made me cry...

[@jjones2582]

That tour was fun. I have about 15 of these smaller and medium sets. So much fun as a kid.

[@cmhealy14]

[@r3l3v4nz]

Best childhood memory ever... I’m heading to the basement tmrw to find my old sets. thanks for this.

[@NKA23]

I had a few sets of these back in the late 70s and early 80s. Oh, the memories. I don't even remember where all my Lego stuff went, haven't thought about it for more than twenty years. But now I kinda miss it.

[@feezee82]

Man, I remember some of these from when I was a kid. The M-tron and Ice Planet is what I had. Not the big sets, cause we weren’t rich, but many of the small ones.

[@after_midnight9592]

Blacktron ship was a great set. It had two canopies on the side and two rovers in the center bay. Very beautiful.

[@balrighty3523]

Wow, that was a walk back in time! I remember some of the logos and pieces from earlier sets, but I remember having almost all of the Ice Planet sets.

[@scorpionwins6378]

Ice Planet was an awesome series. I remember how excited I was getting an Ice Sat-V kit and putting it together. Loved the space sets Lego was coming out with at that time. Also can't forget Space Police, M-Tron, and Spyrius.

[@red_bearded_brian]

I still have that original monorail set (in pieces) in a tote in the basement! When my kids were younger we'd get my old LEGO's out to play every so often and the monorail was always this first thing they wanted to build.

[@betternamepending3991]

They should just have a year where they release a bunch of classic Space sets again! They can have the guys with the old smiley faces and the blue/gray/yellow color scheme. It would be a fantastic callback to one of the greatest times in history!

[@brandona1370]

This is astonishing! What a walk through memories this has been!

[@Ironbuket]

I had the Lego 924, 928 and many of the other space sets shown here. When I was a teenager I was forced to give away everything and was told I was too old for lego... I started collecting Lego again from scratch when I left home and got my first well paid job

[@Okla_Soft]

Wow, I had all the black tron 2x m tron and ice planet sets. Those sets and color schemes were amazing, wish I would have kept them.

[@YT0091]

Classic Lego Space is just one of those series that lives on forever. You can make new, more complex sets with more detail and parts. And yeah, they are cool. But something about Classic Space still resonates and just feels better. Some of the moderns sets that got me excited were the throwback sets from the Lego Movie to classic space. They made 3 total to my knowledge and I got all 3.

[@adroharv9213]

awesome stuff that makes you want to think about trying to collect all of the sets- once you start that's when it takes over. I'm from the 1978-79 era up to 81 with my personal fave sets being 6927, 6929 and the excellent 493 base. Got these bought for me when out in Hong Kong along with the Yellow castle. Such great memories and like so many I recently got back into this great hobby again

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

I got rid off all of my Lego when I was in my early 20's but it's still felt nostalgia when I saw some of the sets that I owned as a kid.

Black Tron's and Space Police... loved that stuff when I was a little kid!

[@shadowcorpsgaming_3718]
