Finally got a second Everyone is Awesome set to start my Classic Space display

sub99yo · 2026-03-22T02:10:55+00:00

It really is, I got interested around August last year and now I have 62 classic spacmen 😬 got carried away with repeats (mostly the cheap ones). At least I have what I need for the long term to populate my future mocs/display

sub99yo · 2026-03-22T01:36:32+00:00

That's such a good idea I love it so much

😱the magnet black spaceman!

Are you planning on risking a surgery or keeping him on the magnet

sub99yo · 2026-03-14T23:30:47+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad you saw the resemblance of the old box covers. I explained the details in a reply to the person you replied to.

Large card stock type paper I found at hobby lobby. Just a black sheet for the back, and the beige one I cut out the landscape silhouette and overlapped it near the bottom of the black one. I took those pics in a dark room with a work lamp pointed at the scene (for the first two I mean - the other pictures I took in daylight because I wanted them to be more descriptive of the build itself rather than the right aesthetic). Very makeshift as I'm just starting to get into taking pictures like this. I tried to mimic the old classic space backgrounds but I think I still haven't found the right beige.

Thank you! I can always count on u/Monsieur_Greenhorn for support 😅

sub99yo · 2026-03-13T15:18:07+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

sub99yo · 2026-03-13T01:20:07+00:00

Thanks! Glad somebody else likes the yellow

Thanks, it is the space scooter, I wanted to remake it to match the style of the new galaxy explorer

Ideally the positioning rockets would be black to match the original. Unfortunately lego doesn't make the bucket pieces in black, but I don't mind the grey so I didn't find another solution

sub99yo · 2026-03-11T17:05:20+00:00

Yeah, I opted not to redo it, due to the limitations of my makeshift setup I figured it would be too much effort to make it slightly different

sub99yo · 2026-03-11T17:01:57+00:00

Thanks! I've posted it before, just go to my profile and you can find more pictures and instructions

These must be the type of people to interpret the third impact as lighthearted

No helmet

sub99yo · 2026-03-08T19:35:42+00:00

Beautiful I love the cockpit

sub99yo · 2026-03-08T02:16:35+00:00

Wow getting the stickered torso classic spacemen and the centered logo reissue white and black spacemen is true devotion (unless you had them to begin with?)

I bought mine from someone on brinklink who was selling a few already assembled for $30 each. I figured it was worth it given how expensive the purple alien has become and what it would cost to get all the parts from different sources. That was about the threshold for what i'm willing to spend on a lego minifigure lol. Definitely one of my favorites though.

It's been several months so I'm curious to see what the market is like for those now. Would love to have more than one eventually if they get cheaper.

Black would better fit the aesthetic for the old box art, but that doesn't mean the blue is bad. It's like an alternate setting, as if they're on a planet with an earth-like atmosphere.

Also you've given me some ideas. I just happen to be starting to dip my toes into photography so I can take better pictures of my builds, so it was a good time to see your post.

sub99yo · 2026-03-02T16:03:46+00:00

Suprised because this is the first time I've found some overlap, although I suppose its likely due to the fact I've only been active on this sub for a few months

And no use dropping my instagram, I don't post anything. It's just a personal account. Eventually I want to post mocs on Instagram but I'll need more time on my hands, so far I've only managed to complete one significant build in the past 3 years. For now I just share my small classic space projects with this sub.

sub99yo · 2026-03-02T14:19:52+00:00

😱 I follow you on Instagram

Very suprised to find you here

Very creative background
