These are great designs. He has retained the style of the originals while making them a lot more detailed. A lot of designers take the color scheme from the old Space line but abandon the original look of the vehicles.
What with lego seemingly starting to make sets to cater for afols now, they would do very well to release some new classic space sets like this. The nostalgia these sets bring is priceless. I would buy them all day long!
So cool! I always love when people modern-ize the 80’s classic ships. I love the tank in the back of the ship, and that he made sure to keep the red wheels.
Coming back to this video after the announcement of the update of the original Galaxy Explorer by LEGO, as much as I love the new design by LEGO, I'm still seeing things about this version that I love... especially just the sheer size of it. If Alec is on Rebrickable and has instructions for this build available for purchase, I am definitely interested.
I love Alec’s work, always so detailed and with many brilliant play features! He’s a member of my LUG, the LondonAFOLs, and has a bit of a reputation for “swooshing” things which hasn’t always turned out well! 🙈 Glad to see there was no spontaneous disassembly while he was showing you his models here 🤣😁👍
I used to spend hours making one awesome megaship from my many, many space sets but as much as I don't like to admit it, I think this guy's got me beat! Those models are absolutely fantastic!😃
A friend of mine had that original space ship when we were kids. I always thought it was so cool with the splitt end and ramp. When we played with Space LEGO that ship was the center of mine attention.
I so much liked the weapon-less Lego space series of the 80s. This guy really nailed the feeling of these times and brought it to the build technique and sheer size of 40 years in the future. some weeks ago I rebuilt one of my playsets of that time for my 4 year-old daughter. Now I need to tell her stories of the lunar landings for bed-time stories. A new generation of explorers? :-D
I am always surprised at how well some Lego manufacturers implement their own ideas. With Lego bricks you don't often see such a good and clean structure. Bravo
"captain, we're running low on water and oxygen" "oh that's fine, we'll be resupplied soon" "also coffee seems to be low too, sir" "Why didn't you tell me? This is a red alert, send an SOS to command".
This young guy is an amazing designer.... I am 53 now and remeber having the 918 and later 924 back in 79-80.... I always dreamed of having the 928 but it was way to expensive for my parents to buy for me as one purchase.....,,,Manaymnay yaers later I bought all the classic sets from 78-87. I really wish Lego will bring back the Classic Space era, as the did with the 10497 from last year
I had all of those old sets. Then my kid got a hold of them and lot all the directions and some of the parts. MY favorite toys as a child in the early 1980's
Brilliant on a scale of unbelievable I cant get over the detail and the size and how incredible it all is!! WOW! As a kid who had the galaxy explorer and the space cruiser its amazing work
Oh my god this is perfect. My uncle is the last in his generation and I'm the first in mine, so he is thirteen years older than me. He has the galactic voyager from classic space and I have the stellar recon voyager from m tron. Seeing both these ships being this amazingly reimagined is fantastic. My favourite beyond the brick video so far. I feel emotional!
The 10497 is nice but this is another level. Lego has to make an official one out of this in a luxury kind of line. I'm sure I will sell like mad. Amazing.
Amazing work. Great realistic details, fun design and playability. I still have a built version of thar classic ship. My favorite as a kid. Something magical about how you could unload a car from the back.
The first one could have several modules that also slot together to make a "base" on a planet, you could imagine it shuttles them down to the surface one by one.
OH those childhood dreams. I remember when I got that big ship in Xmas present as a young boy. And that first modell definately need to be a Lego Ideas set together with the two other ships in that series. I think many of us whom where a kid in the 70ties or 80ties will rush to buy them. Johan.

Brilliant build. Looks so smooth and polished it seems like a molded model. Top work
Benny from the Lego Movie would go crazy when he sees this.
Benny IS a classic space guy
And he will get nightmares from my Lego UFO 1998 moc commandship when it's complete. ;D
He's chilling on the balcony of the landing bay wall and smiling uncontrollably in amazement 😂 4:45

If I ever see the updateed version of the Lego Galaxy Explorer, I will buy it.
Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

This is the most beautiful, well designed, sleekest MOC I've seen in years. Wow.
Future post from 2022 here! I have my Galaxy Explorer LEGO remake... and I need to play space ships with this dude!
The 928 immediately pops childhood memories into my head.
I recognise a lot of these from old Space sets I drooled over in catalogues as a kid. Very nice homages.

We need a sand green spaceman
"Science fictiony stuff"...
I love that.

This thing is FULL of cool features. Amazing!!!
I love seeing all these classic space Mocs! It would be awesome if LEGO would remake them sometime soon :D
Beautiful !
This aged well
Even today after the success of 10497 these MOCs will remain classics.
Had to come here after getting the new Galaxy Explorer set
Watching this 3 years later I think Lego took some inspiration for the newer galaxy explore celebrating the 90 years of Lego
Nice moc, now there's the 90th anniversary galaxy explorer to add in.
This looks amazing in person.
I am always surprised at how well some Lego manufacturers implement their own ideas. With Lego bricks you don't often see such a good and clean structure. Bravo
Yeah for sure. Alot of time went into smoothing everything out and giving it a sleek and realistic vibe
Damn! I remember freaking out with joy when I saw that Galaxy Explorer lying on my B-Day table 😂😂😂😂... I want these times back.
1:04 "If you space station runs out of someting like oxygen or water or something essential like coffee.." xD
Awesome build!
/From a Lego-fan
"captain, we're running low on water and oxygen" "oh that's fine, we'll be resupplied soon" "also coffee seems to be low too, sir" "Why didn't you tell me? This is a red alert, send an SOS to command".
MatteAwesome Are you telling us absolutely everything? No, we’re also out of toilet paper.
It looks so clean, almost like playmobil.
Better than playmobl
How dare you 😱😂
I would buy that if LEGO would come out with something like that. This guy has a HUGE imagination. I LOVE IT🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
That is unreal! Love the number of play features and how well thought out everything is!
Some are masterbuilders, this guy is a builder god
Such a cool build. Love seeing new versions of the old space sets
Great detailing on the undersides of the ships! Love all the use of the curved dishes and cone pieces.
These look great! Kudos on retaining the original look / feel :D
This spaceship is AWESOME
Soo awsome! Especially the „coffee Druck“ 😂👍😉
This guy is not a master builder. He is THE NUMBER ONE master builder
Awesome ship, nice work. The tiles fro smooth studs is great.
A modern take om my old Lego. That's so cool.

That massive ship is amazing!!!
11:15 - This could easily be the remake of the LL918 if you haven't already considered that.
St the end of 2022 LEGO came out with their own throwback to this old classic set

Spectacular! And a spot on tribute to the original LL928. Well done
That is soooo nostalgicly awesome!
Lego spaceship is always my favourite topic in lego!
this is my dream :D
This is pure engineering and artistic talent!!! 👍👍👍
These are actually insane.
I remember when that original ship came out, and I got it, as a kid. God I loved that thing!
The 10497 is nice but this is another level. Lego has to make an official one out of this in a luxury kind of line. I'm sure I will sell like mad. Amazing.
It's absolutely stunning work!!!
Wow the underside was beautiful
THAT SPACESHIPS ARE MY DREAM! SPACESHIP SPACESHIP SPACESHIP!!!
Marvelous. Incredible. Master builder. Congratulations. You are a master. Amazing set and scene. Thank you.🙂🙂😃😀
Amazing work. Great realistic details, fun design and playability. I still have a built version of thar classic ship. My favorite as a kid. Something magical about how you could unload a car from the back.
I love the lego classic space galaxy explorer
Alec - I love the play features!
It's very very amazing custom !!!! I love so mutch
Amazing! Brilliant design! Hat off!
Incredible
Space Ships Space Ships Space Ships Space Ships..haha
i love this model MOC of Space Ships
This is all rather wonderful
The first one could have several modules that also slot together to make a "base" on a planet, you could imagine it shuttles them down to the surface one by one.
I appreciate the effort made to eliminate (most of) the bare studs.
I’m jealous I want this this is so cool very cool
That is all I've ever dreamt of and wanted in 1990 when I was ten...♥️
Amazing builds, very nice!
This is actually so cool🤙🏽👌🏽
Brilliant
OH those childhood dreams. I remember when I got that big ship in Xmas present as a young boy.
And that first modell definately need to be a Lego Ideas set together with the two other ships in that series. I think many of us whom where a kid in the 70ties or 80ties will rush to buy them. Johan.
The under side looks great, kind of reminds me of HR Geiger but toned down for the space theme
Great moc
Spectacular....details🤩
Incredible! Playability is 💯! Appearance is 💯!
So cool. Great ideas
Amazing builds!
Wow impressive
They need to release this as a ucs classic space set
🤯 that Galaxy Explorer is "Built" Different
I love Lego space
Simply amazing
I'd buy this 100%, well done sir!
I Like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing work ....love it ...

Love it!
I know Alec, and he is very very talented at building lego and a great guy
Benny would be proud of this

Salute to Master!
So cool!
Wouldn't it be great if Lego Classic Space sets were brought out of retirement and the series added to?
Can’t believe they actually were redesigned
So Amazing. I have no words….❤
Awesome spaceships !!! + 1like
I have the original one my dad gave it to me
