I have zero nostalgia for the og galaxy explorer and the modern version looks quite boring. My era of lego starts around blacktron so this remake speaks to me more. But I don't find it a nice display piece, it's a play set, so I'm not going to buy it.

Since the Blacktron people are already wearing air tanks, I like to believe the glass on the small rover is for blocking lasers or bullets instead of keeping the air in.

Shame that there is no real interior space, but given the overall design of the ship that probably would have necessitated giving up the truck to pull off. Visually I absolutely love the design. It's both sleek and industrial looking at the same time. This is coming from someone too young to have any nostalgia of the original. Price is maybe a bit too much, but nothing too outrageous. Thanks for the thorough review Jang!

Hey Jang. Just wanted to report, not sure if anyone else had this issue. But the blaster gun for my Cruiser set weren’t cut completely out of the mold near the scope part. There was no gap between the scope and the main barrel making it impossible to connect to the front of the cockpit section. I had spares but it was annoying and a quality control issue. Thanks again for all you do and sharing your experience.

I am curious about this ship because I don't have a nostalgia connection to it. Same for the Galaxy Explorer. So I am basing my take solely on it being a new set. I think the Galaxy Explorer looks more modern to some degree. But as someone who plays video games and watches science fiction the sort of rustic more industrial design is appealing. Appreciate the review. With so many January sets may wait on this a bit longer.

Having zero nostalgia for classic space, i adore these remakes so much. I remember when i saw the Galaxy Explorer on a store shelf with my friends and despite the fact i hadn't bought a lego set in YEARS it totally captured me and i had to have it; It brought me out of my Dark Ages. This is is doing similar things for me and gets me really excited for more classic space style stuff. I know people would be upset if an Ice Planet remake or M-Tron remake didn't use their respective neon trans colors but i would be so so excited to see modern interpretations of those themes.

My only nitpick was the front nose... though seeing that it actually flips up to reveal something and that there is some build-up underneath it so it's not just 'oh we didn't want to drag that one old brick and detail out of retirement' makes it less awkward for me. Great that they kept the asymmetrical look and modular aspects, then updated it in ways like the logo-speeders. I absolutely love the space rover truck and it's deploy/loading feature over the old one's tiny cargo space. Haul your contraband away from the scene of the crime for the main ship to pick up fits Blacktron being the 'bad guys' of Classic Space. Can't wait for mine to arrive. It will go great with the Galaxy Explorer and Benny's SPACESHIP!!

Good, honest review! I am excited to get this (HOPEFULLY tomorrow!) I think it's cool how the designer mimicked the old sloped brick at a slightly larger size for the front of the cockpit using the flag piece. Reminds me of how they mimicked the 1x2 plate with bars on the sides on the original Galaxy Explorer at a larger size with more pieces! While I don't generally mod my sets, I'd be interested to see what sort of mods you make to this one, Jang!

if they had dropped the rover for a storage pod but then made it so the central module could be converted to a platform/rig, I think it would be a lot easier to justify. the design is wonderful, but it's just missing something to do with the big bulk of it in regards to all those modular points.

The original Invader was incompatible with the rest of the Blacktron sets in a very similar way*, so I’m choosing to treat the partial compatibility between the new Renegade and the Blacktron Cruiser as an homage to the originals. * The pins and receivers were reversed on the Invader modules, compared to every other Blacktron set, so you could only connect the Invader’s cockpit to other cockpit modules, and you could only connect the Invader’s engine module to other engines. By turning it around, the Invader’s cargo module would of course work with everything else.
@natbarmore
@natbarmore 17 күн бұрын
Also, all of the other sets standardized the connectors at 4 plates from the bottom of the module, but the Invader’s connectors were 1 plate from the bottom, so it looks a little odd even if you fix the connector orientation.

I like this set and look forward to buying… on sale. I’d pay full price like I did for Galaxy Explorer if it came with 1-2 more pieces of cargo. That would make up for the two main fuselages being useless for play purposes. Container, satellite, lil flier, something would be nice. I know parts budget and all, what I’m saying is they should have increased the parts budget and accepted a smaller profit margin for this set. The designer did a good job with the resources made available to them by corporate!

I know I plan to try and make my own cargo module in a similar design to the modules found in the modern space theme sets.

Yep - same. The vehicle unload mechanism is clever, but could have been applied to a cargo module that carries a rover. Why omit one of the literal core parts of the original Blacktron Renegade? Just feels like a shortcut.

Awesome Jang!! And I love the shirt! It’s very apt. Not only does it express my feelings (“Oh Yeah!!!) but Randy Savage would say “Space is the place”, so this whole video is perfection at its best! I’ve been wanting Blacktron for such a long time, and finally Lego is doing this. I hope they do more Blacktron sets, but I don’t want to get my hopes up. I can’t figure out why they just done reprint all their old Lego sets. They do it with transformers, there’s definitely a market. The old guys like us, plus, what kid wouldn’t want to play with these sets? The old stuff is so much better than the current stuff in my opinion.

I just built mine last night and put this video off so I could go in building fresh. I panicked a little in the beginning thinking I wasn't given a sticker sheet only to realize everything was printed. Very cool surprise! It was a fun build but I am off to heavily mod it! I'm thinking keeping the general shape but making those main booms as hallways and then close off the center to make a living/storage area.

How popular was the Galaxy Explorer really though? I’ve only heard praise from KZbinrs and Lego-websites like Brickset, but they seem to have been on sale a whole lot if all the reddit posts are anything to go by. And it’s been retired for a year now whereas the Lion Knight’s Castle which came out at the same time is still available. Granted it costs 3 or 4 times as much, but still.
@Gameprojordan

Galaxy Explorer will be more popular simply because classic space is more iconic than Blacktron 1, especially since Lego movie 1 and 2 brought it back into the limelight. Also the Galaxy Explorer is a 3 in 1 build whereas this set is only 2 in 1

When I bought it, I was already planning on parts I will modify. The front of the cockpit was one item I was annoyed by. But the first item that made me really annoyed was the non-cockpit build at the front. I really want to know why they made it so flat. As I have said though, I already had planned to modify it before I got it.

$179 here in Aus. Reeeeally need it to also go on a big discount soon, before I cave and buy it. 😅 I'd stopped collecting Lego around the time Blacktron came out.. so it's just the "droid" that is the big nostalgia-inducing carrot, lol. The alternate build actually gives me some nostalgic feelings, too, however. At times I've been thinking I might need to get TWO sets so I can have both builds.. other times I've thought I'd be better off putting the money towards a WickedBrick display case for my beloved Galaxy Explorer.. maybe I should just be patient, get the one set if/when discounted, and just build/display the alternate build(s) of this set. First, need to check out your alternate build review, thanks Jang!!

I LOVE this set overall. It has inspired me to finally make both of the alt builds for the Galaxy Explorer, but to also order the parts so that I can make the Invader fully compatible with the Renegade. I'd love to hear people's theories on the other modular part at the front of the Renegade. A deflector assembly? I have two gripes for this set: 1. The little flyers don't have controls. That could have been easily remedied without adding a significant cost to the set, and I'm probably going to try and fix that myself. 2. The larger trans-yellow cockpit piece not being individually packed. Mine was scratched, but thankfully not so much that I had to request a replacement. However, I had to do that THREE times in a row with my Galaxy Explorer.

As a 50 year old European I sadly don’t have a connection with the Renegade.

I think the new Modular Galactic Spaceship from City line is a superior set in every single way. That set has amazing interiors, modularity, more aesthetically pleasing to look at and overall it just makes much more sense as a spaceship. I hope Jang reviews that set soon. Blacktron Renegade looks like a bunch of black and yellow scaffolding with all empty wasted space and goofy looking engines.

It's a shame Lego cancelled the 'Trans Neon Orange' and 'Trans Neon Green' colours. Makes for really slim pickings when it comes to remakes of classic space theme's considering how common those colours were. Not sure if i'll get this one, Sweden (or Europe) lost the 'Renegade' somewhere over the Atlantic, so i have no nostalgia for it even if i like the rest of the theme.

Yeah. I'm simply too young to remember Blacktron (and I'm not exactly a young guy!). If they remade Ice Planet I'd be all over that, but their target audience for a set like this is narrow simply because the originals came out 40+ years ago. Something newer for the 90's kids would be great, and there was a ton of neon orange in those sets.

I honestly love the look of this set. I just really wish Lego did like a poly bag set that fits with these large classic revival icons sets so that kids have a better taste of old Lego and fans who don’t want to shell out for these big expensive sets can get something new for themselves. I didn’t even grow up with these sets and I love them, they have the magic that a lot of Lego licensed and even modern original themes have lost. (I love dreams but sometimes it feels, muddy?

Set seems pretty good. Thanks for the informative review. I'm still waiting for LEGO to do a remake of Blacktron II, or Ice Planet, Space Police II, Spyrius. Classic Space was before my time and the designs don't really appeal to me. It is very unfortunate that trans-neon-green and trans-neon-orange were discontinued, however. Any idea why LEGO stopped using technic bricks and pins for modularity? There'd be no issue with compatibility, if they did that. Oh, and I love the Macho Man hoodie. 😄

I had a few sets with pins for connecting. They were always a bit loose. You also had the problem that either you used removable pins (which meant you inevitably had to rearrange them after pulling two modules apart), or parts had to remain in the same orientation.

I still have the original and and in fairness the criticisms of the new design also apply to the original. However, I do think replacing the cargo pod with a vehicle was a mistake. That pod was a huge part of the appeal and when I played with this set as a kid I wasn't necessarily thinking ground-based action. I'm also not liking the nose cone design at all. The original still holds a special place in my heart but I'm unsure if I want to grab the new one. Maybe when it goes on sale. If that ever happens because sets seem to get discounted less often nowadays.

Yeah, I do miss the pod, some way to at least cover up the back would have been a decent nod since the pod DID have a vehicle in it. I treasured the original Invader, the whole system then just used a pin system but it all worked together. I have to admit I really dig the set, though, maybe because a regular commercial Blacktron release just makes me happy. It doesn't have anywhere near the heft of the Galaxy Explorer though, at least visually, and the GE would be a decent place for a character to hang out, especially if it wasn't overcrowded. I used to see the Blacktron sets as just a cool alternate style, I get that they wanted to position them as a sort of bad guys. Quoth the Marge: I just think they're neat!

I'm an old head who has more nostalgia for the first space sets. I was thrilled with the Galaxy Explorer and did my best to reward Walmart for dropping the price. I'm glad Blacktron fans now get a set. Would be interesting if Lego does Mtron or Ice Planet next.

As a Classic Space fan, I am happy they are releasing modern versions of those sets every 2 years [so far]. I would obviously love an entire theme with dozens of remakes, but I know that won't sell well, so making one every 2 years is great. Since the Galaxy Explorer was a 3-in-1, I ended up getting 3 of them for each of the prices Jang mentioned. That's why I am holding off buying 2 of these until I see them on sale at Walmart. Unlike others, I don't mind the use of more yellow in this set. Surprisingly I am not a fan of the cockpit area - both the flap/flag piece for the nose and the style of canopy used. I still have the original Renegade as it is one of my favorite designs from back in the day, and it's on display here, so, unlike the Galaxy Explorer, I will have this new one displayed with the original [I never got any of the original 3 Galaxy Explorer spaceships as a kid]. The drop rover does look cool but it is too bad it has such a gappy canopy. I do wonder if the GE was *the* Classic Space revival. And now TLG is making different space themes - BlackTron being the 2nd - could M-Tron or Ice Planet be coming in a few years?

As always, well worth waiting for your review! Others did not go into the detail of the clips and attachments with the GIP Blacktron Cruiser. But to be honest I really dislike LEGO using this kind of clip system everywhere now. One of my sets Anakins Jedi Interceptor used this for the wings / s-foils, after many years on the shelves I took it out and opened up the wings... 4 or 5 of the 8 clips just broke. I think LEGO should have went with the old style clips in general but especially for these remakes, the fact that they even managed to stay inconsistent with their most recent GIP is just... let's just say suboptimal.

I remember using the Blacktron minifig as Darth Vader decades before they made official Star Wars sets.

At about 12 minutes, I think it's interesting because he mentions how these no Star Wars sets might not sell and have not sold well in the past. About 2 months ago I had this vision (because I had Lego on the brain) of how they could bring back their old sets, Space Police, Blacktron, Space Explorer (this is a spin on regular Lego Space which will branch off into Explorer Ice Planet, Explorer Magnatron, and so on). I thought it they included a brief 10 page tiny comic the size of an instruction booklet explaining the general story, it would give context and people would jump on it like Star Wars. So they could have Space Police enforcing this law they feel is needed. Blacktron will be seen as bad by the Space Police but actually they see themselves as Rebels trying to stop the oppression of Space Police (so nobody is the bad or good guys). Exploration will be just that, a neutral theme that is like Star Trek in that they explore and make up some of the more neutral sets like planet themes (like how if they made a tatooine set with tiny house structures but they would make planets to this one Lego story). I came up with a lot of ship designs also and it would be awesome but they must all be made at the same time so people have a large vision to invest in.

The complaints about it as a toy make sense, however this was clearly designed with the intent of being a display piece, not intended for play. This is just so nice I would never want anyone to mess with it, let alone a child.

I’ve been looking forward to this review. A little more mixed than I expected - not a bad thing though. Even though Blacktron 1 is slightly before my time I just think the retro space appeal of this set is just awesome. I’m not gonna overthink it - I’m going all Benny with this one.

I'd like to think the vehicle seat not being sealed up is because they're wearing suits in space and it's just a windshield for debris

For miserable actual Lego standards this one is simply outstanding!!! I bought 4 at Newyear 1:10 am - couldn’t get it earlier. Much better to all other items of last 2 years portfolio
