That looks pretty cool, hope it looks something like that. The Modular buildings are one of the things that got me back into LEGO after my dark ages. I got the bookshop at loved it. I also went back and got the Downtown Diner and am currently working on the Police Station.

There is a flaw in your logic. There have been several examples of exceptions In 2014 the Exo-Suit was released, clearly space themed with 2 green space suits. This followed the Alien Conquest space theme in 2011 and Galaxy Squad space theme in 2013. Not to mention Benny and the other LEGO Movie sets that also came out in 2014. In terms of the CMFs, there are one or two space themed figures in a lot of the series over the years The Pirates of Barracuda Bay and the Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship were both released in 2020 And this year they released both the Medieval Blacksmith and the Creator 3-in-1 Medieval Castle

I agree with you 100% I try to support sci-fi ideas when I see them, especially Classic Space themed ones. It breaks my heart when I find a project that won't make it. A good example is Red Dwarf Starbug. One design made it to 10K but wasn't selected and I knew there was another one working on support. Currently it is at 2503 votes but only has 34 days left to reach 5000 I knew it wouldn't be easy when I posted my Ideas project, but it has definitely been an uphill fight every step of the way. For the most part, I need to rely on the LEGO communities like here and social media. Unlike ideas from pop culture TV shows and movies (like Seinfeld and the Office) where people can tap into the fanbase of those properties as well

Thanks! It was fun creating the story, harder to give names to the minifigures.

Thanks! when I was a kid I would always make moon bases for my classic space sets, they were very basic back then (and mostly red since that was the largest number of 2x4 bricks back then) and I wanted this to reflect what I imagined back then. The technical room was one of the first ideas I had when starting this MOC. I build my mechanic minifigure when I was a kid and wanted to incorporate him into the design. Thanks! I originally made the X-942 on its own for the LEGO Ideas Space GWP contest. I then built the hangar around the ship. It took me a long time to design the walls where I liked the look of them Thanks :) I saw your previous post and haven't had the chance to respond to it yet. I agree with you 100%

Thanks. It's not modular at the moment, but easy to adapt to be by adding a couple connection points. I have had thoughts about what other modular sections to it might be, I might continue it someday if I have the time :)

Hi everybody! I want to share my MOC that I have on the LEGO Ideas website. I grew up playing with Classic Space sets and I wanted to create something to reflect that passion. I originally designed the ship by itself, and then added the hangar deck around it. The minifigures included are based on ones I made as a kid and still have, and ones I more recently pieced together. You can find more pictures and details on my Ideas project page: https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:4c27f35704a74a76af7fb8304d14309f Looking down at the activity on the hangar deck, Base Commander Billy, a veteran from the earliest days of the Space Corp, watches as they put the finishing touches on what he hopes will be the fastest spaceship in the galaxy. He has assembled the brightest minds and engineers to create the X-942. As the prototype preps for its first flight, its pilot Kara is eager to test out its capabilities. If everything works out, she’ll be entering the X-942 into the upcoming Jupiter 5000 spaceship race. Up in the control room, Lieutenants Zack and Terra watch over everything. Edwards tunes up new engine designs in the workshop. The Space Police stand on guard, watching out for any spies or agents attempting to steal the X-942 designs or components. Along with the hangar deck, the first level has a locker room for astronaut gear and a workshop with a prototype engine and tools. The second level has a control room, the Base Commander’s office, and a catwalk overlooking the hangar deck. The X-942 is a neo-classic design with variable position wings. During flight, the wings are down at a 45-degree angle. When the ship lands, the wings move up, parallel with the ground.

Building with some old LEGO awhile ago with my kids and I made these fun little ships

Hi, I'm new here too and slowly figuring out how to interact here. Full disclosure, I do have a LEGO Ideas project but I also want to be as active as I can be as well. I do have other MOCs to share (Not many that I have photos or renders at the moment but working on it). I have never been good on forums in general but I will be doing the best I can :)

Looks like a fun! love imaginative builds like this!

Amazing detail. It looks awesome! Thanks for sharing! Keep Building!

that would be cool and sounds like a lot of fun. It might also be an option to revisit retired characters/themes if only in passing

First off, I have to admit I'm jumping into this mid-stream. Sorry if I'm not fully up to speed with the entire conversation. My daughter has several Friends sets and she loves them. This caused my son to insist he has some too. I had to go out of my way to find the sets that he wanted (not that I minded lol I love searching for specific sets). For both of them, they are into the cute animals that are featured in the sets and they are the focus of the sets they choose. For myself, I would like to see more mixing of minidolls and minifigs in sets, like in The Lego Movie 2. I have a couple planned MOCs that will use both types of figures together

Great design, love it! Thanks for sharing!

HI, I live in Ottawa too! I recently got back into LEGO too once my kids were old enough to get into LEGO. Keep building!

I live in Ottawa

Love it! great job

This is awesome! great job! keep building!

Hi, I'm Tim and I'm in Canada. 43 now and I've grown up with LEGO my whole life, I focused on Classic Space when I was a kid, my brother was into Castle. During my 20s and 30s most of my LEGO was packed away. Last year I pulled them out again since my kids were now getting into LEGO as well. Going through my old collection and cleaning it up rekindled my addiction for it and I've started collecting now. I am amazed by the Creator Expert line and Modular Buildings collections. I also like the Creator 3in1 and Speed Champions as well as anything that I'll find interesting to build. Keep building!
