I actually didn't know that the robots had names. That's pretty neat

[@minifigsinspace]

I'm happy to hear that you found the video informative! I hope LEGO considers revealing the names of the Red and Orange Squad robots in the future, I'm super curious to know their names.

[@TheCollectibleMinifigure]

Also the battle mech cmf is possibly a galaxy squad refrence becouse of its similar color scheme and parts. Also theres the evil space mech wich uses the same parts but works for blacktron as a hacker so it could be a stolen galaxy squad robot

[@minifigsinspace]

That's an interesting thought! Personally I would be less inclined to think either of them have official Galaxy Squad connections, as they have they don't have the Galaxy Squad logo. The helmet design is also completely different, but thinking about it, that in itself doesn't dismiss a possible connection.

[@TheCollectibleMinifigure]

Yeah,its deffenetly not cannon but the desighners could have gotten insperation from galaxy squad.

[@minifigsinspace]

@@TheCollectibleMinifigure I see what you mean, I certainly would agree on that. It would be fun if it was the same designer!

[@TheCollectibleMinifigure]

Yeah

[@TheCollectibleMinifigure]

Wow i never knew the lore was so deep. Also its cool that they left some planets uncharted so its up to our imaginations

[@minifigsinspace]

I agree! I really enjoy it when LEGO fleshes out a story just enough for a good plot, and then keep a few bits left out for the fans to use their imagination :) I'm glad you found the video informative! :)

[@nerdzikslapbattles]

this channel is super underrated

[@minifigsinspace]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[@nerdzikslapbattles]

No problem

[@oedo.4959]

This was a great guide and a good introduction for me of this theme which also makes something clear to me. Lego for a number of years has used it's Lego City theme to release space sets and in my opinion 2024 has been the best space sets so far BUT when these sets are released within their own theme rather than the City theme Lego's creativity is truly unleashed, Galaxy Squad is a great illustration of that. What is also striking to me about this Galaxy Squad is that it looks like it is based or has a TV show associated with it as the vehicles, mechs, ships and minifigs have so much character and personality in them so I'm already loving this theme. Again great stuff from you my friend and your good work is very much appreciated😊😊

[@MatiNuva1724]

It doesn't have a show

[@minifigsinspace]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the lore dive, and also found it informative! :D LEGO Galaxy Squad did have two short videos created for the theme, plus a few commercials, but unfortunately that's about it for video content. They have so much for the story world, but unfortunately it was never all in one place: some bits in a video, some in a magazine, etc. I personally think this is why the theme wasn't received well when it first launched.

[@oedo.4959]

@@MatiNuva1724 I did know that although maybe it didn't come across in my response to this video as I googled for a list of Lego tv shows beforehand but thanks anyway for the reply😊😊

[@oedo.4959]

@@minifigsinspace I think Lego learned from the failure of Galaxy Squad as I see the Dreamzzz theme is implementing lessons learned because in my opinion they're putting as much effort into the TV show as they are the sets themselves. After watching this video I would love to see a Galaxy Squad 2 but rather than a TV show it would be tied to a Galaxy Squad movie to bring the best chance of success for the theme. After The Lego Movie 2 Lego split with Warner Bros Pictures and in 2020 established a five year deal with Universal Pictures so one can hope.

[@DallArtOrigins]

Thank you for this Galaxy Squad summary. I liked the design of both human and insectoid factions, but I didn't like the violent aspect of this theme (which was similarly present in Mars Mission).

[@minifigsinspace]

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the summary informative :) That's understandable. I personally appreciate a balance of peaceful exploration with some occasional plot-moving conflict. I like how LEGO chose to bring back LEGO space as peaceful explorers in the 2024 City line, as it's been decades since we've had some peaceful sci-fi exploration :)

[@DallArtOrigins]

@@minifigsinspace Yes! Space exploration rules ;)

[@oscarward2000]

Something i found pretty interesting is that the planet that's being explored in this year's space sets has been named planet X in a recent magazine (as in the planet X galaxy)

[@minifigsinspace]

Woah really? No way... that's got me really excited now. Which magazine was it? Is there an online source I can check out?

[@oscarward2000]

@minifigsinspace someone posted scans of it to the r/legospace subreddit a couple weeks ago. It was a UK magazine if I remember correctly

[@oscarward2000]

In that magazine we also got to know that the green aliens are known as blob swarmers, and that the robots are called helper robots (HE-ROs for short)

[@minifigsinspace]

@@oscarward2000 Thanks for sharing that info! :D
