Yeah I’ve always know that pieces as a bazooka, that’s what it was used as in all of the Lego games. But it was originally made to be a big camera, Lego just found creative ways of reusing it since not many sets ever needed a big camera and it kind of looked like a bazooka
Great review! My dad owned both of the classic space sets that inspired this GWP set. I have so many fond memories of trying to put them together by filling in the gaps in tattered instruction booklets. They really were such a unique experience compared to the sets of today!
6951 Robot Command Centre was the only one I was never able to finish, due to the instructions missing half their pages and the internet not being so easy for a kid to navigate in the mid 2000s. You should definitely try to get your hands on that set, it's very odd!
It's so cute, I'm glad all that old LEGO charm managed to translate well into a smaller version. I'm glad that you can still access old manuals regardless of if one has a set.
My dad had 2 one gallon ice cream tubs full of lego space from when he was a kid! He was born in the early 70s. Good times & so glad he kept them for us to play with.
This GWP is great! It's taken me back to the good old days 😂. Too bad it's held hostage with a $200 minimum oder, For Shame Lego! Thanks for the Great review Cheesey! 💕
I got this thing and I love it. I also have the remade galaxy explorer when it came out. It's so awesome to see Lego celebrate these classic Lego space sets.
The remakes are always so much! The Galaxy Explorer is sooo good. I've had the set for over a year now, but I haven't had time to actually build it. It will be a glorious day when I can!
Cheesey; As you can see , I was able to enjoy and absorb my entire childhood with Lego Classic space of the time. Your explanation of the entire era is 10000% correct and spot on. From what you say about the box artwork, to the play features,down to the parts ....you know your stuff young man. Bravo to you ! I wish all of Gen Z , Millennials and after, could've enjoyed the simple, quirky, basic childhood that was the 70's and 80's. If you didn't use your god given imagination then, you were toast. Not implying better - Just a completely different experience. Ask , you'll see.
I feel like everyone these days would be better off buying one of these classic sets rather than spending $200 for this GWP! I got so much joy out of Mobile Rocket Transport, and I daresay it transported me back to those simpler times.
@@CheeseyStudiosdue to him and my older brother i actually have really nice collection. I have the original yellow castle, the galaxy explorer and the black seas barracuda so in my opinion the 3 most iconic sets.
Despite the fact that I wasn’t alive during the 80s I fell in love with classic space from the moment I saw the figures, the sets, and the color scheme. It has such a distinct charm to it that many other themes don’t. When I first heard I About this promo I got so excited my only concern is that I couldn’t afford the high price tag. I will probably buy it second hand like I did with the blacktron promo.
That’s the smarter move honestly. I did this with the Magic Maze promo last year where you had to spend around $200 to qualify, but I found a sealed copy on BrickLink a few weeks later for $20. These remake promos might be a bit more expensive on the 2nd hand market, but it’s still way cheaper that Lego’s website.
For a while at least, all of the Blacktron parts (except the stickers) even appeared on Pick a Brick. So that might be the best option if you're willing to wait a few months!
@@CheeseyStudios Thank you for the suggestion I will definitely consider it, however I also want to get a hold of the packaging and the exclusive figures would those arrive to pick a brick too?
When I’d first seen this gwp totally thought of 6927, 487 and 483 all sets I was given by a father who wanted to share his love of lego. So I totally agree that classic space is its own thing on its own pedestal and such a wonderful part of lego history, and for me the set that captures that the would definitely be 6980, a set that I would totally recommend to anyone because it had given me so much joy and truly captures the magic if classic space. Great video Caleb ❤, gotta pick up that gwp
Hey, Cheesey, I have a question for you: What is the name of the background music from the "Making minecraft block in LEGO: The deep dark" short, I have been searching for the name of the background music that you were using while presenting the deep dark lego blocks, so I was hoping that you could tell me what is the name of it :)
I really like this set and the callbacks to old ones. The price required to get it is pretty steep but I’ve just purchased the Lego Rivendell set so looking forward to this one along with it :) Also I love your videos and especially your minecraft series, had to become a member cause I couldn’t wait for the newest videos 😂 keep it up!
Welcome! So glad to have you as a member! You're in for a treat with Rivendell. It is such a fun build. I could not be more excited for the rumored Barad Dur this summer
I think it’s cool that both mini models share the same rocket, they found a set that transports a rocket and a set of a rocket launch tower and combined them together. I still wish these were just genuine sets though instead of GWPs, but clearly they’re making a lot more money this way by getting people to buy a bunch of expensive sets they don’t want just so they don’t miss out on the one small set they do want
This is awesome Small retro sets like these should be widely available and not limited to GWPs Lego should make packaging like they used to 3:50 😂 Awesome video
Thank you! Boxes used to be so cool. Ah, I miss those days too.... I definitely sent LEGO some feedback through the LAN about making these regularly available. My dream is that they'd still offer these as GWPs, but also allow you to purchase them separately during the promotion period too.
Hi, I liked your video, I agree that modern lego lacks originality. I wanted to know if you know the plot-the story of modern lego space 2024, who they are, which faction they belong to and what their task in space is, just mining purple energy crystals? Maybe they are a continuation of galaxy squad? In the 80s and 90s, the series: Blacktron, M-Tron, Space Police, Ice Planet, Spyrius, existed in the same universe, there were magazines, posters, with stories about who is a good guy and who is a bad guy, of course lego is always about imagination, but you always want to know the background. There are no magazines right now, not much is clear from the catalog, maybe you have information about who these guys from Lego space 2024 are? With respect to you.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about the lore of the new theme. LEGO has almost done anyway with lore and backstory altogether though in recent years. It's likely there is no established 'official' canon.
I wish it was available regularly, rather than just GWP. The lego website for me anyway shows it as having a €29.99 RRP. Which seems fair enough for the 325 pieces. Even as a limited time exclusive it'd be cool to get/
It was suppose to go live next week, but I've got some LAN Harry Potter reviews to do xD But yes, I PROMISE it will actually come out in March lol! I'm very excited for that one.
@@CheeseyStudios I built the spaceship 2 weeks ago and it has been on my desk or in my hands constantly. I haven’t been so hands on with a “toy” in years. I’ve played with Lego but that ship brought me back to the feeling of playing with toys. It was such a premium build. All printed parts, those purple irredentist cylinders are beautiful. Chef’s kiss
im a big fan of the classic space themes from the 90's, but i am a little too young for feeling any nostalgia for this series. the gwp looks fine, but i dont think i can justify such a large purchase to get it atm. space babies are very cute though
Definitely can be repurposed as those quite easily! But yeah, their original intention was to be positioning rockets. It's almost exclusively used as sirens now though.
I prefer those "goofy youtubers" to convince me why a set is good and why I should buy them over annoying repetitive and intrusive ads usually with false advertising and where we are just seen as consumers. I much prefer this "Oh it was recommended to me by my youtube friend and the community comments"; Feels less like an ad and more than a advice. (still not into old space, because...err born in 1993 and raised with Lego Adventurers and SW, HP)
@@CheeseyStudios I'll be the first on your video that's for sure. Isn't there a rumor of a Johnny Thunder appearing in a city set this year? With his cmf look, apparently, so no guns 😢
Too much, space in every theme. Gwp with ridiculous threshold. Space book looks fine but could be cheaper, around €35 should be enough. Eh. Have a good one e everyone!

2:01 The Space Camera? I’m used to that piece from Lego Agents so I’ve always called that a bazooka.
Yeah I’ve always know that pieces as a bazooka, that’s what it was used as in all of the Lego games. But it was originally made to be a big camera, Lego just found creative ways of reusing it since not many sets ever needed a big camera and it kind of looked like a bazooka
I definitely grew up calling it the bazooka too. 😂 Had way too much fun with it in LEGO SW...
That piece was commonly used on the front of spaceships, so kids all knew it was a laser gun, not a camera LOL
Why can't they just make these sets regularly available instead of locking it behind a high spend threshold?
They did… but just in the 80s 💀
Only guess is they're afraid not enough people will buy them on retail shelves
They need to squeeze as much money out of peoples FOMO as possible. By locking it in this way, they ensure people spend more
I kinda get this one but I think the Black Tron set they made should have been on shelfs
Money!

Definitely going to look that one up! I'm continually baffled by the sheer amount and variety of 80s and 90s space sets.
It's cool to see that Lego is revisiting all the space stuff
I really like how LEGO’s going back to its roots, the return of Castle and space is amazing!
Here's to hoping next year is the big castle year xD Ooh, I'd love a Pirates year too...
@@CheeseyStudios, If it's not 2-3 ≥$400 ships, I'd be down for it.
It's been pretty much Classic Space and Blacktron I the last few years outside of sneaking in logos. Hardly 'all' the Space stuff
It's so cute, I'm glad all that old LEGO charm managed to translate well into a smaller version.
I'm glad that you can still access old manuals regardless of if one has a set.
I do appreciate LEGO making the manuals so easy to access!

@@okieg8960Exactly. It's basically a $30 set that you can purchase on Ebay, etc. Get as many as you want LOL
Such a fun set! It is great to see the spotlight put on these old sets!
I always enjoy picking up these too. It was such a treat putting this one together!
Honestly I wouldn’t mind a classic space line where they remake the older sets I really liked the galaxy explorer and the Black Tron set.
Both of those sets were really good! I'd love to see more too. There's so much potential there.

I just miss LEGO having original themes! I think these throwbacks help bring us back to those days.
Even if I’m only 22 due to my father this sets is a big part of my childhood I love it
For a second I thought you were blaming your father as the reason you’re not any older

As a kid in the 80s I used to look at those inverted window pieces and drool and dream. So useful and so rare...

I was not expecting the wheels on the original set to move like that. That's amazing.
Blew my mind honestly! 1982! Talk about a design ahead of its time.
This is going to bring loads of new fans to lego.. great job sir excellent video as well
Man, those classic space sets are so cool! I'm really glad we get remakes :)
Me too! They've really done great work with the modern remakes
I had the rocket vehicle as a kid. Loved it!
Such a fun set! I'm glad I got to experience it here for myself
Thank you... I had to order right away.
3:16 ⁉️ Never thought about this, but I guess no lego softwares back then.
Apparently they'd take in-progress pictures, and then trace them for the instructions 👀 I can't even imagine how tedious that would have been!

Also great classic space sets
Love this, so great, thinking to pick it up on bricklink depending the price
Hopefully it isn't too bad. I'm sure a version without the space babies would be far more affordable!
This vehicle looks EXTREMELY modern for its age,,WOW!
I know, right? The suspension especially blew me away. It's a great looking vehicle
This is awesome
Small retro sets like these should be widely available and not limited to GWPs

If castle, pirates, and space made a comeback, it would get me back into buying and collecting Lego.
I think it would bring a lot of old fans back for sure!
Mcv ready! Oh wait...
Both sets look pretty cool :)
Classic space is always a great time, that's for sure! I definitely wouldn't mind more remakes in the future
the best classic space set after the first wave imo

This GWP is just amazing!
I do love the classic callbacks. Excited to see what they remake next!
Always great to see a lego space set!
Indeed!
I must have this set!🤩
The new one, or the old one? 😂
I'm so sad that this is a GWP, but I'm glad that it exists
Really wish they'd give you the option to just buy it separately too 😭
My only complaints with the micro is wish there was a red minifigure and the box didn’t have the flip up cover
I do wish they made cooler boxes these days. It's a relatively small expense that makes a huge difference!
Okay I'm sorry...but are we getting a Aqua Riders video? That shot of the package triggered a memory😂😂

LEGO space really looks great
Nothing beats the classics 👌
Just realized that Cheesey is doing a weekly schedule, 4:51 😢
No tears, just dreams :) It's something to look forward to on Friday mornings!
I'll definitely be looking forward to Fridays!!
These nostalgia sets and giveaways are irresistible to me. I’m helpless against them.
I can relate to that 😂

I own a sealed copy of this set - super awesome to see it built!
That's awesome! What a cool thing to have in a collection. 👀
1:37 - This is what I am saying always - That Lego today lost some ways of making a propper cool mechanized toys UNDER 300 pieces.
Indeed. It's a pity that displayability is constantly prioritized over playability
Real gamering
The mini figs are definitely a plus
I'm curious to see how many of these they intend to make - are they going for the complete rainbow lineup of space babies too??
I really wish that the Micro Rocket Launchpad was a reagular set, i would have definitely bought it.
I agree. Having the GWP is fine, but also getting the option to buy this separately as a $30 set or whatever would be great.
if it's anything like the blacktron cruiser, it will be on amazon and ebay for $40
So beautiful 😍
They sure don't make 'em like they used to!
Fun fact I have this set
nice
Classic space DOES hit different

2:01 the blaster is supposed to be a camera? 🤯
Blasters were introduced with Star Wars in 1999, when Lego made a lot of cash by selling its principle to not offer outright blasters.
Technically yes, but to me it's always Boba Fett's blaster when facing fowards and a rocket launcher when facing backwards.
Indeed 😂 Once upon a time they actually stuck to their principles of no firearms lol
Those are thrusters... i always thought they were sirens.
Definitely can be repurposed as those quite easily! But yeah, their original intention was to be positioning rockets. It's almost exclusively used as sirens now though.
Correct face print!!!
🎉🎉🎉
Those sets look *out of this world.* I wish I had the *space* for those sets!
Ok, I’m sorry

Who knows 🤣

Of course it isnt available on march... lego...
😭
So I have to spend 200 bucks to buy this.
Great
Thanks Lego.
Not all of your fans can afford this. Thanks for screwing the rest of us.
To be honest, I don't think this set is worth it. Hopefully the space babies show up on Pick-a-Brick!
not gonna lie, the old original vehicle looks waaay better and also the new one is so expensive ... just goes to show that lego today is pure evil
They don't make 'em like they used to, that's for sure!
but the 2022 galaxy explorer looks way better than the old one (imo)
