UNREAL...CLASSIC SPACE IS BACK!!!

 Lately I've been wishing there were classic space sets.  I just would like to remember and go back to easier times.  Last night, while working on Pics for the last blog entry, I came across a website called The Verge.  And there it was...THE GALAXY EXPLORER THROWBACK WHICH LOOKS FANTASTIC.  I have dreampt this would happen for years.  There was a great proposal on lego ideas for a similar model but it didn't happen/get enough votes for production

I love that the tiles are printed, the white arrow is just made by bricks.  I cannot wait to photograph the 2 boxes of the 1979 version 


I cannot express how happy I am!  I have dreamt  of this day and most of the legos I have and several blog entries are about bringing back classic space and trying to recreate the look (neoclassic space).   I thought Benny's spaceship was the closest I would ever see released in the classic space style.  I cannot imagine what it will be like to actually have this in my hands!

Thrilled with 2022 sets released

I saw online the new sets at target and I love some of the new releases...they are wonderful for having classic space colors and pieces

I like the yellow with blue for classic space
Gray pieces above are great, but expensive under star wars licensing
