Handiklap posted:I've been organizing my rubbermaids full of lego and finally got around to looking up some manuals for some classic sets. Here's my 4005 and 4025. The latter has more minifigs than it came with, as I needed somewhere for them to live while I rebuild the 6382 Fire Station. Oh my god I had the fireboat on the right! It came with weighted bits that you attached to the bottom so it would float upright in the bath!

It's incredible how unfunny Will Arnett is as the host of the US version, the contestants laugh at his "jokes" like they're being held at gunpoint.

Space Police was a better line anyway because you could toss aside the Space Police dude, remove any of the branding, and let the cool Blacktron guy fly around in an awesome ship

pod6isjerks posted:Why does someone need to see themselves as a minifig? I didn't play with LEGO as a kid and think "this bright yellow spaceman is ME!". Why can't yellow minifigs be their own thing in the LEGO universe?

Big Mean Jerk posted:I like the idea someone upthread had of just making the flesh tone faces the “standard” for sets like these and just including classic yellow equivalents as a bonus for those who want to keep their displays consistent. It retains the iconic look while still giving decent representation and Lego can sure as hell afford to include another $3’s worth of heads, hands, and the occasional torso for these $200-$500 sets. I think they should keep the yellow as the standard on the front of the box, then have the "realistic" skintones on the back. That way Lego keeps the same branding, but shows that yellow isn't supposed to be white (because there's actually white heads/hands included with the others)

Ice Planet was just a bit too late for me to be into Lego, but I think the contrast between the white, blue, and transparent orange is  I'm looking at the sets now and I would have been all over those as a kid.

Speaking of nostalgia, I decided to build the Space Police Peacekeeper in Stud.io and it was a real blast from the past. I'm tempted to make a few different variations in different generations of Space theme (also I couldn't resist updating the minifig faces)

Gravitas Shortfall posted:I'm tempted to make a few different variations in different generations of Space theme Decided to go ahead and try modify the Peacekeeper into a Classic Space version. I tried to keep the overall size similar to the original, as well as keeping the same main play feature of the removable prison section - in this case turned into a boster/droid transport pod.   It's based mostly on the Xenon X-Craft, with the side panels being the same as the ones on Cosmic Voyager

Butterfly Valley posted:FWIW I thought your post was weirdly hostile too. I think you're reading aggression where absolutely none was intended, it read to me like a normal question. Yeah, it seemed like an honest question to me. I bought a modern version of a Transformer not because I had it as a kid, but because I wanted it as a kid but never got it, and I think a lot of Lego is like that as well.
