    I never really bought the argument that the underwater themes or Rock Raiders were space themes. Maybe inspired by or originating from prototype space themes (Seatron), sure, but not actual space themes themselves. A space mecha theme would be amazing. Especially if it used existing Space factions/color schemes.

    The best part about this mod is the wings won't sag after the hinge gets loose.

    As it should be! I love Space MOCs like yours without weapons, just sensors and science rockets.

    THAT VIDEO IS AWESOME! I LOVE the laser grid background! They really nailed the 80's Sci Fi feel. Cannot wait to play this. Also I'd like to point out that these little throwbacks make me really nostalgic and more likely to buy Lego in general. Every time Lego release something like the Exo Suit or Benny's Spaceship I end up buying lots more Lego overall just for the feels. I guess what I'm saying is it's stupid for Lego to not throw us older fans a nostalgic bone every once in a while. We have kids and nieces and nephews so if you pull us back in, it's more than just the few sets we buy for ourselves.

    Something that appeals to neither Space nor Castle fans? :D

    I just realized next year is the 40th anniversary of the Space and Castle lines. Hopefully Lego does at least something like the above to celebrate!

    I honestly think themed Creator sets are a 100% slam dunk idea that would give so many fans exactly what they want. AFOLs remember from their childhood sets that: Had alternate builds Had classic themes Were not licensed; we made up the stories and characters Did not have stickers Had the "Classic" smilies Also AFOLs (being adults) generally like builds without large/specialized parts. And we're willing to spend a little more for deluxe sets since we have disposable income. Creator sets hit EVERY one of these items! If they released one Space and one Castle (Expert?) Creator set a year in different subthemes I think they would fly off the shelves. Since Creator sets have versatile brick selections by design (wheels that double as thrusters, etc) obviously fans would by in multiples basically as parts packs to build MOCs. @Nabii, do you Lego would ever go for something like this?

    YES!

    My gosh, all these alts are gorgeous.

    I think Friends/Elves has some aesthetics similar to Fabuland, mainly the fanciful buildings and vehicles. The colors and sort of woodland vibe of Elves also seem like something that would work for a friendly animal theme. So if Fabuland came back I bet it would be a sister theme to Friends or Elves.

    Mother of god! That is awesome! And it's a pun!

    I guess I didn't put my question in actual question form: Would Classic Space and/or Classic Castle themed Expert Creator sets be a possibility? And if not, why not?

    Thanks Bob! You are the man!

    As others have said I'd really like to see themed Expert Creator sets like Classic Space or Classic Castle. The existing Expert Creator sets are basically deluxe City/Town sets so why not throw sci-fi and castle fans a bone? Many of us AFOLS dearly miss classic themes are and tired of Star Wars/etc. We miss the classic smileys and don't like stickers. We miss alternate builds from the back of the box. Expert Creator is perfect for us because it has classic smileys, usually no stickers, and alternate builds! But we need a space ship or castle every once in a while! And we really miss these guys:

    Good idea!

    This is awesome. The Star Defender 200 is one of my all time favorite sets. I got it for Christmas when it came out and you can't really beat that kind of nostalgia. Your update adds detail and a rugged, heavily armored look to the original design.

    One of these just sold for quite a bit on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/142360889009

    Well sculpted! Love the embedded rocket engines.

    Wow, those are awesome! Super jealous.
  23. danth
    Very clean design. The internals look awesome.

    I'm not a fan of things like Space Police or space garbage-trucks. That's just taking the City theme and putting it in space. SP3 just felt like Future City to me, not true deep space. I want space ships, not flying cars! I prefer Space to be stay Space. Civilians in space would be doing exploration, launching rockets, salvaging space trash, fixing satellites, mining ice, etc.

    I definitely mean weird as a compliment. Good weird. Aliens should always look a bit weird or creepy in my book, or they ain't alien!
