LEGO Space Timeline -1978 to 1997 - From "Futuron" to "Classic Space" to "Ice Planet" and more!

So cool!!! I love that you found the old commercials. I miss my galaxy explorer so much :( Thank you for putting all this together :)

[@vintagebricks]

Hi Jesse… great chatting with you…and these are all fun family friendly Lego sets

[@retrocollector1999]

What I enjoy seeing is Lego doing more throwback sets especially with space and castle themes. It’s amazing how much minifigures have changed over the years. Despite growing up in the 2000s, I will always prefer Lego from the 70s-90s. Great video James 😁

[@vintagebricks]

Thanks! Speaking of minifigss, it's hard to be too scared of the Blacktron with the happy smile faces, but thats what makes them iconic I think.

[@saramarie516]

The old commercials and catalogs are so fun! This was a great video on the space theme and the changes throughout the years.

[@vintagebricks]

Hopefully Lego will keep releasing new (old themed) sets, very rich history. thanks!

[@MustafaRyan]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was looking for this exact type of video with the full explanations of each space theme. Very informative

[@vintagebricks]

Glad to be of service... I had a blast building that timeline!

[@Caspian237]

I feel that the original Blactrons looked more sinister and menacing. Perhaps Lego thought they needed to lighten up and be rehabilitated for their second generation.

[@vintagebricks]

Oh ya... the all black was perfect!

[@henrysvintagetoys]

Very cool video! Nice overview of the sets!

[@vintagebricks]

Thanks... exactly what I was go for a "not too fast, not to slow" overview! I of course learn a bunch puttoing these together

[@viktorjakobsson]

Great overview of the different themes. There really is a lot under the “SPACE” umbrella! Do you happen to have the catalogue spread at 2:00 in the video available for download?

[@vintagebricks]

I do somewhere … but try brickset . Com and search for futuron 6990 set and look at catalog links there. Hope that helps. James

[@viktorjakobsson]

@@vintagebricks Many thanks for the info/tip James, I found just what I was looking for!

[@polarboy5862]

I love the smiley faces on the blacktron guys. Just cause your evil doesnt mean you can be cheery

[@vintagebricks]

So true!!

[@josemonteiro662]

❤❤❤❤❤ from Portugal !!!!!

[@vintagebricks]

Thanks… I did a space review of minifigs a while back but wanted to add more content to the themes overview

[@tonyhawkdelmar]

Why did you leave out UFO and Insectoids?

[@vintagebricks]

Do you have any of these sets? … yes sorry I left them out… hope you were not too disappointed !!! 🤦.

[@vintagebricks]

I changed the tittle and thumbnail to be more accurate. Sorry again

[@tonyhawkdelmar]

@@vintagebricks no problem, just wondering why they weren't included. I know UFO and Insectoids aren't as popular as most other subthemes of space, but I really like them. Especially the minifigures were insanely detailed and had extensive prints for their time. I own a few of their sets, as well as some from Ice Planet and Spyrius, those two are also among my favorites.

[@vintagebricks]

Oh … more sets for me to collect!!!… I don’t have any of those two sub themes but will look into getting a couple of each!
