Great overall review. An absolute banger of a series in my opinion. I love the homage to old classic space figures. Personally i love that they are unique and not a rehash. There are a number of them which I definitely will be army building. My favorite of the lot is the insect looking one. I do believe it is a reference to the Buggoids from galaxy squad. They have the same exact torso printing. For the retro space girl. I think the robot dog has pink eyes to match the girls outfit. Being a robotic animal, I would imagine it to be customizable and like a matching accessory the eyes would change to match accordingly. I will be getting a full case of figures soon. But stores here have already started selling them early. I picked up a whole bunch of them on Saturday.
Yes, I totally agree, maybe the best series yet, since the start in 2010. The "tribute" figs are as good as I hoped they would be. I did wonder if it was a Bugged tribute, but the head and wings made it look so vastly different that I dismissed teh idea. (I must admit I didn't;t compare teh torso printing!!!!! - Well spotted!) They seem to have been out early in a LOT of places. I bought my Android Nurse online on the 24th, SEVEN days early! and it arrived 4 days before launch. (see vid: th-cam.com/video/5OmAe2wYoro/w-d-xo.html) And I was at a Lego Show last Sunday and MANY sellers had boxes of them for sale (see vid: th-cam.com/video/jr9nUzgdoeY/w-d-xo.html) I see that since I became your first subscriber, you've now DOUBLED your total number of subscribers!
Yes, several people have now pointed that out to me, I was looking at the head shape which didn't match anything, but the torso is definitely reminiscent of the Galaxy Squad aliens. Thans for commenting.
if you find them in a shop, make sure you have the Brick search app on your phone, so you can scan the box QR code and see what's inside. You can see me doing it in this video: th-cam.com/video/5OmAe2wYoro/w-d-xo.html
I'd actually forgotten about the Monsters series! My set's in storage somewhere. But with my love of all things space, this series my JUST beat the Monsters (only in my opinion, of course!) Thanks for commenting.
@@MinifigJez did you get the lego city space lab set £30 I think, can't wait to see your review of your lego City space sets including the lego dreamzz car set cool
@@Daniel-w9k6r Yes, I got given the space Lab as an Easter present. I've got all of this years City space sets except the two rovers: 60431 and 60432. I'll get round to making a 2024 Lego Spaceman colours video soon !!!!
That would look cool, a Galaxy Explorer being swamped by space creatures of every genre! (I bought that set when it first came out and I STILL haven't got round to building it yet!)
Download the Bricksearch app, and then if you see them again, you can scan the matrix code on teh box and work out which figure is inside !!! I hope you find some again.
Fun video review! Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to pick some of these up from a shop or shops tomorrow. With luck, I'll find the one with the pink space baby in it. The beetlezoid - one of the others I'm looking forwards to - is a homage to the 2013 Galaxy Squad theme. The torso print is pretty much identical to that of the buggoid aliens from that range, the only difference being the colours. The design is the same.
If you're out looking for them, download the Brickserach app, so you can check the QR codes on the boxes to see what's inside (you can see me using it in this vid: th-cam.com/video/5OmAe2wYoro/w-d-xo.html Someone else commented about the GS Buggoids earlier. I had looked at them but as the head was so different and they'd added wings, I'd discounted it as a tribute to them... I didn't check the torso printing well enough!!!! Well spotted and thanks for letting me know.
I already have the Bricksearch app and used it for Series 25. It’s a game changer that makes me OK with the switch from packets to boxes. My worry is not that I won’t be able to identify what I want. It’s that the shop(s) nearest me will be out of stock of the popular ones such as the nurse & space baby by tomorrow evening, the earliest I can make it :~/
@@drzander3378 I don't suppose you have a Lego Brand store near you? Someone I know went to the Southampton store, and the staff had already pre-sorted a lot of boxes, so you could get what you wanted.
There’s a LEGO brand store an hour away, but it’s not an area I have any other reason to go to. Two hours (one hour each way) is a long time for a few minifigures!
Yes, I'm starting to think that it could be the best series yet, since series 1 way back in 2010 ! That's a bummer you don't get them for another month. You guys seem to get short changed with Lego a lot!
I love the series 26! Great video - thanks. 🌺😊 Because I'm so fascinated by space babies, I started a project on lego ideas last year called "Classic Space Baby Command Base" which contains two blue, white, red, yellow, green and black classic space babies. I hope we get a lot more colors and it doesn't end with the pink one. 🧑🚀🛰♥
Yes, I'm hoping that it's something that Lego continues. Have you seen my Every Space Baby is Awesome video?... th-cam.com/video/5OmAe2wYoro/w-d-xo.html
@@MonsieurGreenhorn Yes I've seen lots of people add it to their Every Spaceman is awesome displays, but I wanted to keep mine separate. Which does give me the problem of mixing Space Babies and Micro Astronauts! I'm still in two minds which is my favourite... Space Baby = very cute Micro Astro = Classic !
I was not impressed with this series a few months ago when you posted your original video… but they have since grown on me! They showed up early at a few stores in my area, so I already have three of them. I hope to get them all!
I'm glad you've grown to like them, I think it's one of the best series in CMF's 14 year history. I don't know why, but they seem to have been out early in a LOT of places. I was at a Lego Brick Festival on Sunday and sellers had boxes of them for sale. And I got my Android Nurse a whole week before release day.
