Ptchnk Posted June 27 Posted June 27 (edited) I like the retro design quite a bit but i also don't like the minifigs choice. Classic spacemen would have been great with it :) This would go well with my retro space ship :) Edited June 27 by Ptchnk Quote

Thanks. I might even be tempted to go for the set now if I can get those helmets in the same order. Edited June 27 by danth Quote
Wesley D Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Nice retro space car, but those minifigures definitely look too modern. They don't fit well. Quote
Lyichir Posted July 1 Author Posted July 1 The summer Star Wars sets have been revealed, and the "Rebuild the Galaxy" snowspeeder has a cool black and trans-yellow windscreen that looks like it'd be fun for Blacktron MOCs. Quote
danth Posted July 2 Posted July 2 New yellow windscreen. I'd gladly buy this set if it weren't for the stickers, despite the price being outrageous. So, I'll bricklink or PAB multiples of the canopy instead. Quote
danth Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Same with the new snowspeeder. I'm sick of Star Wars but, a ridiculously colored snowspeeder with a new trans yellow canopy would be enough to pull me in. If it weren't for the entire thing relying on stickers. Flame printed tiles and fins would be awesome, but I'm just not paying for stickers anymore, at least not for SW sets, and not at these inflated prices. Quote

danth Posted July 5 Posted July 5 So I ended up getting the Moon Car since I had the points sitting around, and with thanks to @RichardGoring I picked up the good dome helmet pieces at the same time, and some hair pieces. Pick a Brick was incredibly slow. I would have perused it for more parts I wanted, but it's just painful. Quote

Now need to decide which figures go into it. I still think the retro space CMF will be best, but at least it gives some flexibility. Have you built it yet? Was it good? Quote
GeoBrick Posted July 5 Posted July 5 I'm a bit on the fence of whether or not to use Insider points on this one. I might instead save them up for another Insider Reward next year... Quote

I still need to order one, but I am thinking of using the blue astronaut torso from the 2019 City space people pack with light blue/dark blue dual-moulded legs (currently available on PAB). Quote

danth Posted Tuesday at 10:59 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:59 PM My moon car arrived in the same package as the helmets & hair which was convenient. I really like the build, especially the craters. No stickers! Quote
icm Posted Tuesday at 11:21 PM Posted Tuesday at 11:21 PM Wow! It's really incredible how much that simple change improves the set. Quote
RichardGoring Posted Wednesday at 11:23 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:23 PM It really does! That helmet/hair combo is far superior. Quote
hikouki Posted Friday at 01:52 AM Posted Friday at 01:52 AM Apparently, the bright light blue air tanks will be in the Italian Riviera! Wonder if they will include the helmet... Quote
