Yes, Trans neon is so 90s. We need more trans neon too. Green, orange, yellow. -
Nice job!
-
Is it official? Did Lego Group made an statement about this?
-
Can anyone confirm the leaking images from the new Blacktron gift set?
-
Yes, that's the point of this. Not only new pieces, but a way to use them as a whole in a set.
-
I agree. Also we can still build a lot with the new pieces and the Classic ones, but a little help from Lego Group on new pieces would not be rejected by fans.
-
100% agree. I'll take a note of that for the future. Classic Space helmets in gray and green and also grey airtaks. Gotcha! Dark purple, not they already release them on the chinese parade. Thank you! This thing would rock in Lego stores, I garantee you. Please Support!

All the pieces in the pack are in this Lego Ideas Project. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/72fff146-8452-4118-889c-72d5a879b235

Some members here had probably heard that months ago, I submitted a piece pack on Lego Ideas as a project and was rejected. However, I’m not here to discuss about if Lego Ideas decision was right or not, but to explain why I did this in the first place and how this can be sustained. On Reddit someone asked about this pack and I replied. “The idea for the petition for a Classic Space piece pack was on the believe that many Classic Space fans have over 40 years of collecting pieces and also have enough pieces to build complex designs on their own, so a piece pack would be a great gift for hardcore Classic Space fans to continue designing new Neo-Classic Space creations on their own…” Classic Space sets have at least 3 big color schemes to be known. Light gray/black/trans green, white/black/trans blue and what most fans consider the true C. S. blue/light grey/trans yellow. The white/black/trans blue is widely consider to be Futuron color scheme rather than Classic Space although it was used widely on the later years of that theme. Also, the number of trans blue pieces is larger than the trans yellow ones since it has been wider used in other Lego themes such as aquanauts, town space, and even Minecraft. Let’s face it. One of the biggest limitations for Neo Classic Space Mocs are the existing Trans yellow pieces available. You also have the space logo pieces and other limitations, but for what I’ve seen and heard. Every time a new trans yellow piece have been found on new Lego publications, the C. S. community goes nuts. For instance, how many people here know (or even care) that Lego has never made the 1x12 plate in blue color, but if I told you that minifig legs and arms in Trans Yellow color exist you’ll probably will rush to Bricklink to corroborate the last part. Die hard C.S. fans usually have a Lego Collection spanning four decades consisting of thousands of pieces. So, for them, a new window or windscreen in trans yellow is worth its weight in gold. I know you can get around the piece limitation problem by combining pieces, but a single piece windscreen solves any probable stability problems. The question is, Classic Space fans will consider a C.S. (trans yellow) Piece Pack good enough to be as good as a new Classic Space set? For me, the answer is YES! Maybe will not be as cool as a new professional Lego space set design, but it will expand my posibilities to create Classic Space MOCs.

[MOC] Blacktron Energy Extraction Platform
Operacion Saturno replied to Umbra-Manis's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I would buy this if I see it in shelves. -
I hope the 2023 rumored blacktron 40581 Invader comes with some new trans yellow pieces or at least another preexisting hard to find windscreen.

This is amazing!
-
Fantastic design! So futuristic.
-
Oui!

Thank you for your comment. Could be various reasons. 1 it's cheaper to use a rocket than a spaceship, maybe the base is on a low budget. 2 It's a reseach facility, so they are actually doing that, testing new rocket designs as an alternative to the use of spaceships. 3 The elevation launching platform can be used not only for launching rockets. 4 The spacecraft on the base can only fly on atmospheric altitudes. For orbital missions you need a rocket. 5 Manned rockets were one of the last achievements reached by Classic Space, so it´s an hommage to that and the Polaris Lab rocket. 6 .... Please don't forget to support!

A couple of months ago, I share images of a personal project for a Classic Space piece pack. I send it to Lego Ideas and was rejected. So I designed in around 4 days a space design using all those pieces at once. This is a space lab base with a internal rocket launching platform. The rocket is manned and can hold a minifig inside, Includes a vehicle and a spacecraft. Please help me by supporting this base. We need more cool classic space designs and make Classic Space as great as in the 80s. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/72fff146-8452-4118-889c-72d5a879b235

yes dark purple, typo
-
Very hard or very expensive is way better than impossible. The pieces exist so is possible to build the black astronaut. Based on this judgement, the dark pink helmet is prioritary.

Now I feel old. I purchase a bulk lot from Italy a decade ago and had several of those 1x2 bricks, so maybe that's why I didn't took that into consideration. The pack in the picture includes stickers of different size, so the logo stiker in the 1x2 cheese slope could fit the 1x2 brick perfectly. no sets, there's one black astronaut in a 5 minifig pack in 2009 with a motorcycle helmet without visor and s different smily face. The another one sold separatly in 2015 I think at Lego stores and there's even a newer one standing in a magnet, so many black guys, yes. About the helmet. we need green helmet, dark purple helmet and airtank, light bluish grey helmet and airtank. also a tan chest with classic space logo and also an air tank too. So yes, I agree 100%
-
Interesting, 1x2 brick with logo already exist and there's an elusive 1x4 brick with logo too. There aren't tiles of those size. That's why I added flags to the pack. Already been a lot of those, even reissued in 2009 and 2012. I second that with an old style helmet in dark purple.
-
That's correct, and that's why I called it Neo Classic Space. It has happend to me too. I'm in a random place then enter a store, turn around and there they are, a pile of new never seen before Lego space sets. I even pick up the box look at it feeling excited.like back in the good old days.

For those Classic Space fans here, if you could make a direct request to Lego Group what would be? Maybe the restoration of one of the Space theme, maybe a remake of one of the iconic set releases of the era. Those are great requests and wouldn't mind any of those, but in my case like in most AFOLs, we design and build our own sets.For that I've been conducting polls on Lego groups about which new color pieces would you want Lego to make and so far I came with this group. Think about it, a Lego piece pack with new color elements to build Neo Classic Space sets. This is what I´ve come with so far. What piece you think I'm missing?

agree

Brick separator portal. Great!

Great designs!
