Thanks for posting this brilliant video. Seeing it really made my day.
Thanks also for briefly highlighting the instructions. Getting those to look and feel like the old Classic Space instructions while keeping some modern conveniences probably took me as much time as designing the ship in the first place.
BTW: Picking up boxes of my old Lego Space sets from my parents attic was exactly how I got back into the brick-game.
You’re most welcome! Keep up the great work. It seems a lot of us in these comments had these ships in the attic!!
Nothing beats the "Galaxy Commander"!!!
I appreciate you using the correct plural form of "Lego"
Fun video. In my day, Lego didn't have kits like that, in the early 70's.
SPACESHIP!
SPACESHIP!
I made my own X-Wing from early '80s LEGO Space parts back as a kid! Didn't look anywhere as good as what's in this thumbnail, though...
Ok Benny. ;)
EXHAUST PORT!
I had the same Models! I was so into space themed Lego!
Love this
Kudos to your parents for keeping your Lego. I had so much Lego when I was a kid, and my parents gave it away when I left home. Which was really disappointing because I had heaps of the 70s and early 80s Lego (being I was born in 1970). When I had kids, we had to buy all our Lego again. But I would have loved to pass down my Lego.
So, as my kids get older, and play a bit less with their Lego, it goes into tubs into the attic for storage. That way, when they have kids, they can pass their tons of Lego onto their kids to enjoy.
Always enjoying building for hours... great times. Maybe LEGO wasn't too bad!
I CAN BUILD A SPACESHIP!!!!!!!!!.LOLOL.
I to had some of the early blue and grey sets. I had the largest spaceship that carried a space station in the back.. .... plus a few other sets. .... loved the smashing up of the xwing . brought back my Lego memories. Made me lol lol a lot. Thanks
.
Ah this takes me back. My sister used to work in Kuwait, and EVERY return to England, she'd bring me back another Space Lego set as a gift. LOVED the stuff. And being a Star Wars fan as well, it would often get turned into ships "as close to" Star Wars ships as I could make. Not star wars related, but with Space Lego, I created an evil droid race buy removing the head from within a spaceman's helmet, and replacing it with a green or red translucent cylinder piece. Ah fun times indeed :D Gutted that in my late teens, I became "too cool" for lego and gave mum the go-ahead to give the whole lot to a local jumble sale. Along with all my matchbox cars, and about 200 Transformers comics (from as early as about issue 5). :(
I still have got all my classic Lego Space stuff...damn, we are retro xD
Haha, "dropping it" twice. Hilarious!
Damn, save some Star Wars gigs for the rest of us.
I’m trying!
Those blue space Lego colours remind me of a special offer that was around in the UK in the early 80s from Persil washing powder. I think my Mum had to collect a ton of tokens from the boxes and eventually got me one of the blue and white spaceships. It eventually got assimilated borg-like into the big box of random Lego though.
I still have the battery powered space monorail from the late 80s range, still with its box, up in my Dad's loft. Turns out it's worth quite a bit now!
i had some of the lego space themed kits from the 78 to 87 run, i simply loved them, personally i was more in to the knights themed one and the big black castle i had was my most treasured lego set of all time. ah good days!
You had me at Lego
Hey, it's my birthday this weekend, too! Hope you had a good one. Thanks for the gift of Lego Space memories. :)
Happy bath day!
Damn you auto carrot
Gets to play Lego and have a super hot wife? I was told this was a choice. Life is unfair.
That brings so much memories (of me smashing my brothers space station 🥺). Wish I could afford to get the bricks for that.
Love this! Would love to see more of these 'What Ifs?', ie. LEGO were making the same range of licenced products (Star Wars, Marvel, DC, films, tv shows, computer games) in the 80s, the same way they are now. Imagine the cross-overs for Paradroid, Jet Set Willy, Terrahawks, Battle of the Planets, except in that wonderful retro colour scheme! SPACESHIPS!!!
Nice video - just the right thing to lighten up the mood in "You can't get out" times.
Thanks to Poly Carbonate Blocks Way for sponsoring this channel 😎
I dig the digital speedometer with 82. love Love LOVE Lego classic space!
SPACESHIP!!!!
Awesome! :D Oh, BTW. PCB stands for Please Continue Brickbuilding.
2:37 I had that! I love that thing I love that thing!
Awesome, I really like the new intro.
The Space Lego Galaxy Explorer LL928 was the highlight of my 12th birthday...long long ago in a childhood far, far away. Thank Perri for the wonderful Lego nostalgia.
God those bring back memories, hours of creating. The only Legos at the time with different shapes other the a square,rectangle or circle. So many possibilities. Loved the build.
Benny IS the best part of the Lego Movie.
Yes, one of the very few highlights. Don't forget the wretched song...which I won't mention here as I still can't get it out of my head.
Happy Birthday!🎂
Still waiting for Disney to create the Gavyn Sykes Chronicles.
You and me both
@@RetroRecipes I bet you'd be psyched if they actually did that!
13:20 Your head would explode playing Star Wars Squadrons in VR.
I actually bought it and although it was cool at first for some reason it just didn’t hook me in long-term.
KYBER!
SPACESHIP!
FORKS!
Thanks for another great video! This is why I love TH-cam. Great content, professionally delivered!
Cheers mate! 👍🕹️
Thank you for posting this, Peri. It reminded me just how blessed and lucky I was growing up here in the States.
My family lived in the town where the only North American LEGO plant existed back in the 80's. Indeed, my mother worked at the plant for many years in various jobs, and I even did a summer job stint there before going to college. I know I probably mentioned this in a previous comment, but I do recall the manufacturing and packaging lines on the plant floor were controlled by Commodore 64's back in those days.
One of the earliest sets I can remember getting as a present was the LEGO Space Cruiser. I spent hours breaking it apart, building it again, playing with it, etc. Soon to follow were the Galaxy Explorer, the Space Shuttle, and other space-themed sets. I used to have a pull-string bag made of denim - had to be about three feet in diameter - that I would put all my LEGOs into whenever my mom would take us over to her friend's house to visit. My childhood pretty much revolved around my LEGOs. Like I said, I was very blessed and lucky.
I'm not sure what happened to those LEGO sets. I suspect my mother might still have them stashed away in her attic somewhere. Seeing this video brought back some wonderful memories for me personally. I hope to be able to build this set and add it to my collection very soon!
It’s like Christmas 1987 all over again 🤗
I loved my Galaxy Explorer!
Happy Birthday Peri
Happy birthday!
Unknowingly created PCB Way's next kickstarter there.
PCTea Way!
I'm off to the attic to find my space LEGO.
You two take the cake
What can I say... Nothing, not a thing! The mess was just killing my OCD! Adam Savage would have been going crazy for you to sort all of those bricks out into piles first. Like I was!!! 😂
Nobody’s got time (or room in frame) for that!
@@RetroRecipes Ahh yeah I give you that, or you can get a nice ultrawide screen camera giving you another 4 inches of the frame to play with! Just a thought...
I have that same space station with the beds and the rail on the side =) found it again during my recent move =)
I've just discovered that those big flat lego pieces break really easily, when they are forty years old!
Happy belated birthday!
Another fun, lovely video!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
Awesome
80s Space Lego were my favourite kits of Lego when I was growing up. I owned the LL-918 (my actual favourite of all my kits) and later the LL-928 (the biggest set I ever owned.) Great memories!
Okay seriously, someone get this man a proper role in the Disney + star wars stuff. The kid in me demands a fan this wholesome get one :|
Thank you!!
Fantastic episode, lego and star wars! My son Harry rushed to get his signed photos from you when the Rogue one and lego star wars clips with you in came on 👍.
Aw that’s so lovely! 🚀
Wow you have the same Lego kits I had as a kid.
Everyone knows PCB stands for Peri's Construction Bricks. I had some of those grey/blue sets as well as a kid. I miss those. :\
An X-Wing built with classic Space bricks, awesome! 😍👍
You're into Lego too? Nice! Ordered a few classic space sets on bricklink recently too.
Classic space is my favourite theme! 😊
I also had some knights and castles stuff, so I made a technics time machine to keep the stories compatible.
@@manuell3505 that's the great thing about lego, lets you use your Imagination! 😊
30 hours to make a Lego X-Wing . I wish i had this time
I havent even watched the video, I nearly cried tears of joy when I saw the thumbnail! I would love one of these... cant wait to watch the video, but got to watch some minecraft videos with my youngest daughter first! #awesome
Awesome! Bring back the late 70’s memories!
My birthday was yesterday. 12/02. You’re a fellow aquarium!
🐟 Happy birthday 🐠
Mine was on the 1st of Feb......
Oh my... you’re going all retro and just building from a pile instead of sorting the bricks first... 😳🥸😂
Wait, there's another way to do it?!! ;-) Yeah due to camera angle/frame size it's hard to fit sorted parts in but I thought it might be fun to watch the "pile" slowly decrease :-) I had fun with this one! I think when it goes public on Saturday I'll do a Premiere with live chat. Feel free to join again mate! 👍🕹
Come on only someone with OCD sorts the bricks first...
@Anders life is too short for knolling ;) Rummaging through a pile is so satisfying.
@@rdoetjes I swear this is the reason I keep a messy desk.
@@theonecalledstein hear hear!!!!
And best regards to Lady:)
Tardis spotted!! "Oh, Pants" LOL
Good eye
belated happy birthday Peri 🎂❤️. Another year old maybe, but mentally all us men are forever stuck in single digits hehe 🤣 love the channel and videos 👍 make me feel like I am back in my happy childhood, awesome 👍
I’m a little late in watching this video, but none the less, happy birthday! I hope you had a great one😎
Thank you!!
The is good, but as you mentioned the Brixty Four, I think it's only fair that you create a ZX Spectrum too! Just 'lego' of this Star Wars obsession and make good old Sir Clive proud! 😁 Or maybe a ZX80/81... at least the keyboard would be easy.No moving parts. 😉
It’s actually already done which is why I haven’t done it. I don’t have the link but you should be able to find it on Twitter. Just search for Lego ZX Spectrum.
Luke be a Jedi tonight!
Hope you had a awesome birthday m8.. That Lego space stuff I used to dream about as a youngster it was so mega expensive. and yes if i had that Lego i would be like "BUILD A SPACESHIP!!, SPACESHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!!".
So nice to watch someone build lego without wasting hafl the video sorting out the parts into piles first! Great looking sship, loved lego as a kid, if i had room I'd still have some today i think, even at my advanced age.
Great video, as always! I immidiatly recognized you in "Rogue One" :)
Love it! And your music (that first track) is haunting in a good way. ;) love your videos. :)
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️
Very therapeutic to watch.... sheer tranquility
Its wonderful how you always create such incredible production value and make it unique and fun.
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️
I love this so much! I recently rediscovered my love for Lego, too. I really have to search my parents‘ house for my old dragon knights‘ castle 🏰
It looked like the XJ X wing from Star Wars Legends
Of course PCB Way don't do tea. For that, you want PGT Way!
You should have embraced the dark side and used the Kragle.
loved it. :D
Classic Space Wars
You're a patient, patient man Kyber Thief! I would go crosseyed trying to put the pieces together. But looks great! PS Love the show!
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️
So, this is how you restore the faded gold symbols on vintage classic Lego space bricks! A Gold Shapie! I'm off to restore my vintage space Lego sets..
love this space ship build!!! Legos ftw
Happy birthday, Peri!
I love your retro computing content, but don't stop making Lego content. ;) I do hope you have more plans for that in the future. This video brought out the child in me and I'm gonna go get all my old Lego from my attic now.
Looking forward to this!
No no no. The line's "I've been looking forward to this" 😉
Happy Birthday!!!! Looking forward to that new 8bit computer.
Also... SPACESHIP!!!!
Remember when A-Team was Sat Evening TV in the 80's. This is now my Sat Evening TV in the whatever we are now in. Now, when are you going to explain how Rob Hubbard made those tunes?
Great idea for a video!
I don't know if I'd want to fly in that X-Wing, that astromech droid looks a little strange. ;)
I didn't have a lot of Lego sets, mostly just one with a variety of parts as well as a box of assorted bricks that belonged to my grandfather, but in the late 70s, I did have the Lego 565 Moon Landing set. It only had a few special pieces and the rest was all generic blue blocks.
One of the things my grandfather had was a Lego train with a locomotive, tender and two passenger cars, which ran on blue track. After he gave it to me, I stupidly took it apart and was never able to put it back together the way it was.
Happy Birthday sir! :)
Thank you!!
lol, you never grow out off lego and meccano .. my mum hated them being sucked up by the vac!! ... i had so much in the 70s / 80s .. big trak made out of lego be interesting :D powered with a pi :D ..
More play vids plz!!
Oh you old AFOL you, great looking model & awesome video. 👍🏻
Everything in this video is... AWESOME! I miss the blue space sets! I really enjoyed the vloggy part of your video when you showed the Dinos. You should do more vloggy stuff like that!
Thanks! I should’ve mentioned that is the kind of stuff I post daily on the patron lens. 😊
you have all the patience of a Jedi Master, to wade thru that pile of stuff
Happy birthday.. Was mine on the 14th..
I have an 80's lego space ship that's never been opened..
Wow that’s cool! Happy birthday (don’t open it)!
@@RetroRecipes thanks heaps 😊
Lol I couldn't even if I wanted to, it's packed in a box somewhere 🤔 so it's sure to be preserved a while longer.
Very very 🙂
Been thinking of getting into Lego again, not had any since I was a kid, had a big white wooden box filled with random Lego bricks. Im thinking it'll be mostly star wars and Harry potter, but some of the prices these days are a bit of a shock!!

Got a total Dark Helmet vibe off the star field play... 8-)
Yay! Love you!
