Lego Space Ice Planet 2002 Retrospective

In 1993 the coldest lego space them was dropped, Ice Planet 2002. The theme revolves around a team of researchers on the planet Krysto that Includes Doctor Kelvin and Commander Cold. This theme was apart of the Lego space world with Space police, M-tron, Blacktron and Spyrius.
Spaceport is a series diving into every Space theme Lego has done. Everything from classic space to 2024 City Space line.

Lego was being very optimistic if they were thinking we'd be traveling across the galaxy by 2002 from 1993.

[@Adhappynobrainrotkid]

Im not really surprised Lego is this optimistic. There a toy company

[@lowersilesiamapping]

Its not a year, more of a number that was chosen. the planet the Ice Planet team was on was called Krysto 2002.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I’m thinking the same thing!

[@adamn.4615]

If I recall, even in the early 90s, people were assuming we’d be Jetsons-style futuristic by the year 2000.

[@mrbuckets1106]

Love the Ice Planet theme. I just picked up the little Tunnelator set for real cheap

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Oh nice!!!

[@rinzlerthegaladiator3565]

Ever since the space series which showed us the redone version of one of these minifigures I have taken a interest and liking to this theme.

[@A..D..D]

I love the new CMF Figure. I bought a few of the Chinese New Year ones too. Found a few Helmets from the originals so I’m building a few customs. Was hoping Lego would do a new Ice Planet set , or remark an old set like they did with other sets.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

The new figure is super awesome!

[@RRSlugger]

One of THE BEST LEGO Space themes, in this slug’s opinion. 😊

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Even better then rock raiders? 😉😂

[@stephenbraker5273]

Totally agreed! I've always been partial to the color scheme, snowy location, and neat set designs and play features. I got set 6879 when I was 4 and have loved the sub-theme ever since.

[@ComicBoy750]

I’ve always found it weird that they called it Ice Planet 2002 when it came out in the 90’s. When I 1st heard of the theme I thought it came out in 2002. None of the other space sub themes like Spyrius, Space Police, Insectoids, or Explorians have a year attached to them. Why didn’t they just call it Ice Planet? Anyways, I love the new CMF figure.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I think it may not have been a year but a number associated with something else. I mean the cmf space miner says krysto 2002 in its bio so it could mean that the number is associated with the planet.

[@StudframeAnimations]

So awesome to learn how these different themes are connected. Thanks for the research! 😁

[@BrickingUpBrad]

No problem glad you enjoyed it!

[@benparker1822]

So, the Snow Man Costume CMF from a few sets back has a white head with a face print on it, looking like the guy is wearing a tight white hood or thermal cap. I'm tempted to use that for any spare Ice Planet Explorer CMF figures I get to fill out.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That would be cool!

5:52 fan fact those are not Belville skis rather they are Technic as they were introduced in 1986 in 4 Arctic Technic sets, in Belville they 1st appeared in 2002 (year not the planet :) ) and those are called Technic, Figure Accessory Ski on the Bricklink.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Interesting

[@oedo.4959]

Another great video and it's especially good when the late 80's & 90's was my Lego dark times so I really appreciate being able to learn about a Lego theme I'm not too familiar with. Ice Planet 2002 looks like a fantastic theme and it seems Lego in the early 90's were looking to create a Space Faction that operates on a planet with an atmosphere rather than a planet devoid of one as they're typically featured. Recently I discovered this wasn't Lego's first attempt as they developed Seatron but decided not to bring to market, fortunately though we got Ice Planet instead and hopefully with the recent Ice Planet minifig include in the latest CMF series we can a get a new reimagined set. Fantastic video and looking forward to seeing the next faction/subtheme from Space or Castle get this same treatment in the future😊👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@M0torsagmannen]

i love 90's space and had sets across most factions, but Ice Planet was always my favourite.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That’s awesome! What was your second favorite?

[@M0torsagmannen]

@@BrickingUpBrad probably Spyrius or Exploriens

Great vid. So it is a robot penguin. I wasn’t sure. The Penguins of Madagascar could have escaped again.🥶🤠

[@BrickingUpBrad]

😂😂😂 I did see in an interview with the designer it’s up to interpretation like it could also be that it’s so cold on krysto that the penguins have to use special suits.

[@Vasher-The-Destroyer]

Let's hope we get some version of orange that close enough to neon orange or at least close enough.

I picked up a couple of the new CMF Ice Planet Explorers. They might be the best looking fig in series 26! Now I'm interested in getting the older figs and the ones from the other sets you mentioned to populate my space themed stuff. I just this minute thought that they might look cool in the same display with some of the SW Hoth rebels 🤔. As always, great overview! Thanks!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Glad you liked the video! Two of the figures are very cheap but doctor kelvin is an expensive minifigure because she only came in the two largest sets. RR slugger did a video on ice planet which I would recommend because he goes through the sets deeper and points out which one he recommends getting!

[@stephenbraker5273]

No mention about how the Deep Freeze Defender pilot pods connect to the front of the 2 separated back sections to make 2 medium-sized ships?!? Atlanta Brick Co. also missed this in their review of the theme. It is a defining feature of the set and sub-theme, in my opinion.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I don’t own the set and I was not focusing as much on the sets them selves but as the theme as a whole

[@stephenbraker5273]

@@BrickingUpBrad No problem, I just find it disappointing that this does not get mentioned, as it is a critical aspect of an amazing set. At least you presented the set as one of the best, rather than the general opinion of dislike, at least by one individual, on the ABC theme review. The set is slightly blocky in appearance, but that is due to the incorporation of common designed connections to allow for interchangeability of the sections to make different ship configurations and add significant play value. Also, sorry if my previous comment sounded critical; I see upon rereading it that it sounds much more critical than I meant it. From what I've observed in your videos, you seem to be interested in the small details about themes and history/lore, so I was a bit surprised you did not mention this detail about the Deep Freeze Defender in your video. P.S. You SHOULD own set 6973 Deep Freeze Defender, in my heavily-biased-towards-Ice-Planet-2002(probably-influenced-by-nostalgia) opinion, as this is a flagship set of one of the best LEGO themes ever produced! As a collector and old set salvager to share my nostalgia with my nephews, I have 5 copies and have the 6th on my list yet to sort and complete (already have most/all of the special/critical pieces). P.P.S. Keep up the good work on in-depth and interesting videos!

[@wyattstudios21]

Hey Brad! I love your videos! I know you’re a fan of all three and since I don’t have any sets from the themes yet. Which do you recommend, Castle, Pirates, or Space?

I love castle the most because I love fantasy stuff and knights. I always recommend them. But it’s just depends what you like.

@@BrickingUpBrad I think I will start with castle over summer-fall, and then when I’m done with my stop motion trilogy of movies, I’ll work on some space stuff with the new 2024 city space sets & the CMF, and then throughout the spring of next year maybe get a few pirate sets.

funny that younger guy you call Will, i call him always Billy. because it was Billy look. man i did love the ice planet, i have even special Shell collection box, it have small ice planet in it and you can only collect with stamps. mine mother still have them but when she in 2023 passed away, i have the boxs of them. there was also western theme, knight theme and space and for the girls also couple themes. but still like them

@@BrickingUpBrad As Ice Planet 2002 could be located beneath an asteroid belt that completely blocks the sun, it might be a good idea to put up the station on an outer celestial body to pick up sun rays from the solar panels, and relay basic energy impulses to the rudimentary bases down on the unfriendly environment down at the main planet... or something to that extent...
