Absolutely superb! You have my vote :)

I think you're probably right. I'm really into classical music and I find when I grow to love a piece listening to a particular recording, I can't help but compare other recordings to that version, and usually don't find them as satisfying. I never know how much this is me, and how much this is a thing other people experience too!

There's no way they will rerelease this exact set, but I'm sure the classic space minifigure will be back one day, they have been rereleased several times in the last two decades. That's a lot of units to sell!

So interesting that you find old instructions frustrating. I find new instructions totally tedious and vacuous because of how simple they are. There's no moments where my brain has to work, or make a connection of any sort. Books and plays always do well to flatter an audience by not filling in every detail for the audience, because then the audience feel clever. It's also how the best comedy works - it's in the gap between what is said and what is meant. That little frisson of pleasure is the pleasure of working something out. And I think it applies to instructions too!

Definitely Lego's best ever alien minifigures, and I have a liking for the large Lego parts that everyone else hates - they always have beautiful geometries and many uses if you are imaginative enough. So yeah, I'm still a fan.

Message me privately and I can still send you one! Lego had the listing taken down, despite me meticulously following their copyright rules. :(

Cheers! Thanks so much! Thanks, man! Glad it provided that Nostalgia hit! Cheers, means a lot!

Thanks everyone! Delighted you are all so keen on them! :)

Hey guys! I just posted instructions for the January calendar build on Rebrickable, updated to include only easily obtainable parts! Here's a link :) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-67576/The Brick Artisan/ll-925-galaxy-cruiser-classic-space/#details

Hey guys! So after publishing my 2021 Classic Space Calendar, many people asked for instructions, including some people who saw it here, so I finally decided to create some for one of my builds. Normally I use old grey exclusively, but in this case I used only modern grays/Bleys, and only easily, cheaply obtainable parts in general! It uses exactly 500 of them. You can get the instructions on Rebrickable! Enjoy :) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-67576/The Brick Artisan/ll-925-galaxy-cruiser-classic-space/#details Even if you don't get the instructions, it would still help me out if you had a look, gave it a like, and even wrote a comment on Rebrickable to get it added visibility :)

Hey guys! I'm an opera director in normal life, but sadly all live opera has been cancelled for the last year. So I decided to make a stop motion opera out of Lego! The opera is from 1901 based on the fairtytale of The Little Mermaid, which is why I posted it in the historical forum (If LOTR is allowed, surely fairytales!)

I did a humorous series of minifigures which I thought people might enjoy: Dragon Space Evolution Rabbit Space Evolution Shark Space Evolution Elephant Space Evolution Lobster Space Evolution

So apparently the newest enormous ninjago city set has an icecream parlour called ice planet, but sadly the torso of the guy manning the shop is not that of the minifigure on the card with the icecream... so may well only be a trading card gag.

Is there anywhere in the UK that sells the current series where one can try to feel the bags? The lego stores here are all closed in lockdown. I really don't fancy spending the extra money on ebay/bricklink at the moment. Or do prices settle down a bit after the initial rush

Haha! No problem at all if you don't want to enter, and I realise it's very last minute! As I say in the post, just collect the parts that you do have in your collection already, without bricklinking. The people who are likely to be interested will probably have many period appropriate pieces already, and a huge number are just normal plates and slopes. :)
