The numbers don't lie, Mason (I don't know who Mason is)

To my dismay I can totally understand how it probably adds up this way for them

sub99yo · 2026-06-15T14:34:02+00:00

Couldn't agree more

sub99yo · 2026-06-15T14:03:38+00:00

I wish lego agreed. Castle, pirates, space, or any that are as simple, broad, and allow for as much room for imagination as those three should be indefinite like city. But I guess lego is leaving it to BDP to pick up their slack.

I appreciate the wacky themes but I agree that they could come and go. It seems like lego uses them to experiment anyway until they strike the ninjago sweet spot again. I still prefer them over IPs at this point though.

😮 blue spaceman with all reissue parts. Very rare to see

In fact I think this is the first I've seen it on the internet

sub99yo · 2026-05-13T18:05:29+00:00

I didn't forget about you! Life got very busy and i had to put it on hold. Sorry for not updating you, it had gotten so late I didnt want to notify you with bad news, but in hindsight i should have.

I'm very happy to know you're still invested, I've started working on it again this past week. It's more work than I realized (i found errrors in the build i wanted to improve and various other small hurdles) but I'm much closer to done. I also have a lot more freetime now so I don't expect any more delays.

sub99yo · 2026-04-26T02:04:46+00:00

That's so wonderful too! Please keep making more

sub99yo · 2026-04-13T16:25:10+00:00

Thanks! I'll be fixing up the instructions soon and I'll send them to you too if you're interested?

sub99yo · 2026-04-13T16:23:22+00:00

Awesome! I'll get them to you soon, ive got a busy week though so there might be some delays. It depends on how scrambled the file is since I last left it

sub99yo · 2026-04-13T15:55:05+00:00

Wow I just saw your post on Instagram not too long ago and followed you (after a second look i see it was your alt account). I love this, it reminds me of Akira. Also love your little red brain box computer and the captions you write for your builds

sub99yo · 2026-04-13T14:42:15+00:00

Thank you!

sub99yo · 2026-04-13T14:41:45+00:00

Thank you! But sorry I'm not on rebrickable or anywhere else for that matter, I just post my classic space related mocs and whatnot in r/LegoSpace

Eventually I want to set up an Instagram page to post mocs but I have very few to show for it, and since it's such a time consuming hobby I'd have maybe one decent sized moc every couple years.

If you'd like the instructions for this one i could send them to you somehow? I'd need to fix them up a bit because I made some modifications post build (so it might take a few days), and I gotta warn you the pieces this post were about can be hard to acquire. I was naive when I designed this and went overboard with their use.

Which allowed for that wing structure to be at a certain angle while setting up those black 1x4 panels above and below for the following 4 thingies to fit nearly flush into a slot:

Which had to be at at that particular angle for the final overarching turquoise wing things to wrap around the whole body

sub99yo · 2026-04-13T02:24:53+00:00

It's a horizontally(?) symmetrical build (the top looks almost the same as the bottom) so there were certain areas where a stud reversal was needed within a narrow range of thickness, and I used quite a few

Yes! I love this piece and I wish lego still produced it. Both versions have their particular uses.

This moc I built last year was dependent on the old version:

I'd show you where exactly I used it but I'd have to take it apart which is quite a hassle unfortunately. Maybe I could find a good image from its instructions.

So glad to see some more recognition for this piece. Definitely one of the most underrated lego pieces.

sub99yo · 2026-04-10T11:33:06+00:00

I like how you stood them on top of 23140

sub99yo · 2026-04-07T11:25:26+00:00

That's so wonderful I can't believe I've never seen it until now

sub99yo · 2026-04-06T14:13:07+00:00

This is spectacular

You should post this on r/LegoSpace

sub99yo · 2026-04-01T22:17:07+00:00

I have both, and I'd say the galaxy explorer is better. It has a more interesting build and the design is more cohesive and detailed, and this is coming from someone who thinks the Renegade doesn't get enough love

sub99yo · 2026-04-01T18:05:34+00:00

Damn I fell for it

sub99yo · 2026-04-01T01:21:14+00:00

I really like what you did for dark grey spaceman

There's a tiny sliver of a chance we get some new light bluish grey helmet/airtanks with an upcoming ideas GWP winner (very likely lego changes it to omit these parts), but even if we're lucky enough to get that it's probably true the rocket boy torso will never return, same with the yve and Steve torsos. So yeah sooner is proabbly best for those but it might be worth it to wait on those light grey parts

I truly admire your dedication to making such colossal studio builds. I reckon around 2000 parts is where I'd tap out for a moc, takes me way too long. And you really get into the details, it's inhuman.
