What we really need is Ice Planet remake.

[GodDestroyerOfWorlds]

These space sets remakes radiate with passion and love from designers. I love that you can tell they loved lego as kids and want to share their enjoyment with the next generation

I kinda like the old school robot build. It proves you don't need a million hyper-specific specially molded parts to build one thing, but you can take a few basic bits and bobs and build them into a million different things.

I’m going to buying multiples of this thing for the pieces. I’m going to try and recreate all the old sets using these modern pieces. Awesome job Lego

[billymayonase]

I didn't grow up with Blacktron either, but I respect this build a ton. It feels classic yet has modern play elements. They nailed this set and for the price it feels so worth it.

I went into the video not liking the asymmetry but left finding it charming.

I was born way after the theme ended but I love the classic space style

[JMGrimm]

Although I wasn’t old enough to experience the original sets, I was given a set of minifigs which had a Blacktron 1 figure included. It instantly struck me as the coolest Lego space figure, and I was hooked on finding out where the figure, as sets for it weren’t really sold in stores anymore. Blacktron II had come out at that point. As a kid I built Blacktron I MOCs and dreamed of the day I could afford to buy an old Blacktron I set. As an adult, I’ve finally acquired some, and I’m super excited for this set!

[Brick_Inventions]

Even though I didn’t exist when Blacktron existed I am really happy that I have a chance to get my hands on this incredible theme.

An updated and upscaled M-tron Mega Core Magnetizer would be sweet!

[SA-rzfj]

This thing gives me Nostromo vibes. Smaller obviously, but dark and rugged instead of the slick stuff we see in Star Wars. I really like it.

6:20 "The look is clearly dated in my eyes"

...That's the point, it's a refresh of an old set, the dated look is part of the charm my guy.

[PuuberZ]

Spyrius and Ice Planet were my favourite space themes.
I'd love a remake of the Spyrius Robot, set 6949

[salorion]

Thank you Lego for listening and bringing more Classic Space back. Definitely a market for it and we like the old style ships with a new twist so don't shy away from them. Hope to see some smaller builds as well like little vehicles and robots as well as rocket stations and maybe even a space monorail! Tiago you will grow to love space as it is truly creative and imaginative with lots of scope for game play.

[graviton]

Love the classic smiley face, very nostalgic for this former Blacktron owner.

I like the modular features for the set, i always look at the play features on the back of boxes to see how creative the designers have become for kid's playtime.

[JakeCWolf]

Good ol' Blacktron, that brings me back!

[UltimateBurstLP]

as someone born long after the blacktron theme was around, i'm super excited for this set. i got the cruiser as a GWP awhile back and i loved it, and i'm so excited to expand on my modern blacktron collection with this one
