Shoutout to whoever designed the UFO aliens. Not only are their helmets pretty reminiscent of the Predator helmet from the film, but the Alien leader's face print has mandibles and also shows very clear Predator inspirations. The UFO minifigures are iconic. I think the actual sets suffer just a bit because of those huge dish pieces, and the somewhat plain color scheme with so much gray. But the figures can't be beat, they're awesome.

they know aliens exist! Lego I mean.

The new city aliens were definitely a surprise but I like them. They’re unexpectedly inhuman and simple in design and really cute and friendly which is a nice change of pace from most of the other aliens.

Love this style of video, makes me want to dig out my old alien conquest figures, always loved the way those head pieces come together

Not the video I was expecting, but I remember having the Alien Conquest tripod set nearly a decade ago, and seeing all these aliens was like a blast to the past!

One of my favorite memes is "You either die a specialty theme, or live long enough to see yourself become LEGO City." It truly is weird to see City just completely take over Space, but when you have Star Wars, Icons' licensed stuff, and Blue Cats sets, plus all of Ninjago's Mechs, it makes sense that a specific Space theme doesn't exist on its own. Dreamzzz also kind of carves up some of that Space pie with Z-Blob builds and Mr. Oz with all his science stuff, but Space has kind of generally meant Sci-Fi in the LEGO community, and there's plenty of it in LEGO, just not a dedicated theme. City's really the only thing remaining that's an original pillar of LEGO if you look at Town, Space, Castle, and Pirates, and while I'm not complaining about some gap years, City kind of taking over other themes is always weird when to me it should really just be real life stuff, not even near future like from a few years ago, and a bit of what's being done here. But I don't know anything about marketing, so whatever, still cool to see some neat Space stuff coming from LEGO.

Galaxy Squad was my early childhood, I have so much nostalgia for that Lego theme. My dad and I even made a stop motion of one of the sets building itself. 🤩

As an adult I really dig the "serious" themes (UFO, insectoids, mars mission) over the more cartoonish ones which are probably great for younger audiences.

I'm actually amazed by recent LEGO City Space themed sets! They had a really amazing streak in the last couple of years even without aliens... The builds are very interesting and have a fitting color palette. It almost feels like we are going back to the old days. Btw people are sleeping on City. I just looked up what's new and wow... I expected 24 of the same police sets and 11 firetrucks but there are actually really good sets too! The builds have been massively improving in the last 4-5 years :O

7:47 The backstory for the origin of the galaxy squad aliens was mentioned in one of the Lego magazines as a result of Lord Vampyre’s moonstone beam from Lego Monster Fighters malfunctioning and summoning the aliens.

Clicked on this video so fast! Haha, love seeing LEGO Space represented out there. 😊 Your Insectoids "Planetary Prowler" video was probably the first one I ever saw of yours, so it was cool to see that one again! That was my first big Insectoids set and it really opened my eyes to a theme I had otherwise overlooked. I'm getting pretty close now to owning every single Space set that released between 1990 and 1999, by the way! Insectoids is posing to be the last real hurdle... so many small sets and minifigure variants! 🙃

I was lucky enough to have the two largest U.F.O sets, and they are to this day some of my favorites LEGO ever made. I don’t understand why this theme is so overlooked by the community in general, that regard it as a spin-off of classic space. The figures alone were waaay ahead of their time. Thank you for including them in this video!

the production in this video is incredible! the spaceship hallway backdrop to showcase figs is such a nice touch, and all these figs are so cool!!!

I know it's not a 'set', but Idea Book 6000 had the brick heads. That's possibly the earliest version of LEGO officially publishing something with ideas on how to make aliens with LEGO.

The "alien queen" from Alien Conquest is not the alien queen, they are the commander named Hypaxxus-8 The Alien Villianess figure you showed I'm pretty sure is implied to be the queen (a few CMFs had descriptions on lego's website and her's mentions being the ruler of an empire) Also the whole "different names in different regions" thing led to one Insectoids character having an unfortunate name here in the US

I like how friendly these new aliens look. I actually prefer it that way. I didn't have any Life on Mars set, but I knew them through a videogame, LEGO Racers 2. It has 5 racing worlds, and Mars was one of them. I love how the boss, Riegel, didn't drive a car or a little speeder/spaceship, but a MECH. It towered any vehicle so far XD XD My favorite world was DinoIsland, though, and its boss was Sam Sanister (Yes, Sanister, no Sinister)/Baron von Barron. Fun times n_n

I also missed Galaxy Squad. My Dark Ages happened right around Space Police, but I managed to snag a set with the four-armed guy, whom I still have and love. I hope they continue to do space sets throughout this year with the cross-theme branding-some new aliens would be dope!!!

You wanna know what alien I'd like to see more of in LEGO? Symbiotes. We need more LEGO Symbiotes. We have Venom & Carnage, sure, and a bunch of Venomized characters, and even Pork Grind if you count him, but we don't have other Symbiotes like Riot, Scream, Lasher, Phage, Agony, Sleeper, Anti-Venom, Toxin, Scorn, Raze, Mania, Mayhem and a bunch of others that LEGO probably hasn't even *thought* of! 4:44 Hold up, I HAD ONE OF THOSE GUYS!!

This definitely could just be nostalgia speaking but galaxy squad was an absolute gem of a theme, so many great builds and play features, definitely recommend picking up a few of the sets if you get a chance

As someone who grew up at the age of the space themed Lego sets from the early 90s I am so happy that. Lego City has introduced space theme sets once more, and included now all these alien sets, even though they're very kid friendly compared to the design. we got in the early 90s. the kid inside me is just so happy to see them trying to tap into what they were well known back then without using the Star Wars title / brand.

The current space panthematic "event" is wild, I'm very curious where this goes and if we get others in the future.

2:05 You thought we wouldn't notice the background, but we did

I used to love Space Police, the design of the ships and the aliens was really cool

Space Police is just unmatched for me. One of my very favorite themes.

Shout-out to Lego battles on the DS, one of the RTS games of all time and definitely deserves a remake 🫡

They may be one of simplest designs, but I simply adore those new silly little guys

Absolutely LOVED galaxy squad, got a few of the sets one christmas and they are some of my favourites. Lego aliens in general are all so cool, really wish we could see more of them more often

This video has so much nostalgia, but 6:45 might be the biggest--I have never wanted a minifigure from a series more, and remember hunting at a Legoland in Orlando to make sure she was the one I got. I don't even know why, but I've always thought she's awesome--and still do!

This video plays like a Lego Rewind episode and I absolutely loved it. Great trip down memory lane.

Comparing apples to oranges but I love seeing the progression of how Mega made molds for different Covenant species and Flood victims. Grunts used to be tiny, but now they’re roughly the right size to canon funny enough. New Flood sets can be properly disgusting. The Halo Heroes Keyes figure, when cold, has an absolutely disgusting texture on the Flood bits. Really makes you think one single Flood spore could destroy a species…

I love these videos about exploring the old sets. I remember playing with pieces of the first 2 sets. They were all mixed up with other Legos in some big boxes from my older sibling. I was pretty young and often asked myself what these pieces where used for. Recognizing these pieces really brings me back. Thanks

Alien conquest is my favourite, nostalgia is a big factor but i have always adored robot guys and the robot alien was just the coolest thing 6yr old me had ever seen

I love your approach to making videos with the sets you get from LAN, better than boring reviews.

I really liked this video! The KZfaq premiere music in the background was a nice touch. I always love Lego’s original space themes & this City wave just feels like a Space theme in disguise so it sells well. Personally, my favorites are the themes I grew up with, Space Police 3 with all the crazy aliens & Galaxy Squad which is the only Lego theme I own 100% of the sets from. The mosquitoids are probably so expensive because the antennas which I noticed were absent from the group shot at 7:34 were so easy to lose. I know I definitely lost a few as a kid. I might have to pick up some of those other aliens I wasn’t around for like the Zotaxians or Mars Mission Alien Commander because those look really cool.

I like how you make reviews and put twists on it :D really refreshing

I love the new space sets and like you say they really hearken back to a lot of different space themes. I hope Lego keeps pushing the boundary with the new city space theme and builds upon the cooperative space exploration we saw with life on mars in the past with these new aliens :3

Yoooo the lego battles mention! Awesome! I love that game! Love how comprehensive your stuff always is!!

favourite Lego aliens to me is the insectoids, i dont think i ever got more than 2 sets from the line, but their helmets are some of the best ever made for a space theme imo

Zotaxian are among my favorite lego figures. I love them

One of my favorite sets as a kid was the “Smash N Grab” Space Police set. One of these days I need to get back to rebuilding it.

I love the "adorable goofy-looking guys" in the background nonchalantly bouncing around😆😆😆

Space Police was such a great line! I used to use the aliens to fill out my Star Wars builds

There’s a bit of lore for insectoids where it’s stated the energy fired at the moon from the monster hunter crystals actually caught their attention brining them to earth’s moon. Basically picture a moth drawn to a light.

Oh man I still have a few sets of Zotaxians. I remember the piece that was thermochromic and when touched would show an image, My favourite lego piece of all time

Seeing these old space themes makes me wish I had been collecting Lego back then, unfortunately most of them are older than me!😂 But the original themes, characters and lore are really cool and unique!

I love these types of videos so much, it brings back so much memories from my childhood. Sets and minifigures I remember having as a kid. I remember having a figure from the UFO serie. That armor piece, especially the black one from the alpha team was the sign in my mocs that that figure wearing the armor was the ultimate villain lol

I still have the complete 6915 ship with figures. The main alien figure included is so darn cool

I used to always use the original aliens helmets for pilots in space fighter plan type things. My dad bought me the big one that would detach. Was so cool.

WOW i had NEVER seen any alien conquest sets or figures. those are SO cool!! phenomenal molds

I like the life on mars aliens. A lot of themes are aliens vs humans but its cool to see them collaborating.

I grew up with a few sets of those first 3 alien series but grew out of Lego not long after. I remember being disappointed once I got the 2nd series aliens in-hand because I thought their clear green helmets would be a similar elongated shape to the cool helmets of the series 1 aliens.

This Lego space wave, even the city wave as a whole is so freaking good this time around, and with decent value only outlier maybe is the the station set but Im really impressed with this lego wave for themes I dont usually follow People always talk about lego space stuff, I only really have space police 3 sets so im interested to know more also convenient since im building sci-fi in minecraft rn lol

Alpha Draconis has always been one of my favorite minifigures especially after seeing his helmet in Lego Racers. I just had to have it. 😅

I grew up with the 97 ones so those ones take my heart.

So awesome to see some custom built terrain to showcase this little piece of LEGO history. Nostalgia has me saying Life on Mars has the best aliens, but then objectively I think I'd go with Galaxy Squad. Then again, the only aliens I ever had in my collection are UFO (though only the androids) Life on Mars, Star Wars, Mars Mission and Galaxy Squad, so not the most complete experience to rely on!

omg when I was a kid I actually had that first set shown for Galaxy Squad ! I remember scrapping the parts and making my own cartoon UFO MOC that I still have today. underrated theme imo. The insect "vehicles" were super cool and original, shame it only got one wave.

Great video! Even though there were no official aliens in sets until the 1990s (and Lego infamously shut down the idea of Seatron as an alien-based theme), you could still find them in the early days of the themes! Lego Idea book (6000) from 1980 showcases the story of two minifigures visiting all three core themes (Town, Castle and Space) and in the Space segment they encounter aliens! They're all brick-built, mostly by using various elements as heads instead of a regular figure head, but still. I had that book as a kid and it was enormously influential on me in getting me to invent my own builds. Another early official Lego product that features aliens is the two-part comic book series "Jim Spaceborn" written and drawn by danish cartoonist Frank Madsen. The two stories came out between 1984 and 1987 depending on what country you lived in and featured a group of classic Lego astronauts tossed across the galaxy, Voyager-style. And of course they encounter lots of aliens, though in these comics the aliens are sometimes depicted as not being made from bricks, which bummed me out as a kid.

Lego had some cool ass moulds back in the day, such a shame a lot of these really cool alien pieces arent made anymore

I had the first UFO set and loved it. One of my favorites still.

I had mars mission as a kid, but i remember space police much better, as i was a little older. I always loved Frenzy, and his four arms

My favorites are clearly the 1997-1998 UFO and Insectoids. The shoulder armor is great, the bubble head dome from insectoids as well, but the UFO helms are the best (also their heards and prints - back then that was such a rare occasion to have that many good prints - and each came with at least 4-5 different torsos - these days, they can't even be bothered to recolor the base torso a bit for the 3 different colors of space figs - love the new theme, but this seems like a small cost cut that need not be there).

Lego aliens appeared back in the 80s. They featured in a Lego annual where they had inverted arms and 3 by 1 blocks as head, with a two by one placed in the middle.

I’m glad Lego had such a vibrant variety of aliens Makes me glad to call this planet home

I will cherish my OG alien kits, love that helm and armour

I loved Lego Galaxy Squad, always sad I could never get more of their sets.

Alien Conquest was so damn amazing. I want a remake of this one

I remember when I was like 6 I came home from school and my dad had brought me and my brother both the blue space ship / crawler galaxy squad set, good times

Life on Mars has a top spot for my all time favorite themes. While I never had a Lego city as so many have I used the Aero Tube Hanger with some extra tube and a monorail set to build the Martian capital city.

Great video. Thsnks for the recap of all those wonderfull and weird aliens whe got in the past. I stared my Lego adventure with the clasic space line and am happy that this generation can also go on the wild adventures in spacccccceee! 😁

That Insectoids commercial in 2:18 stuck with me ever since LEGO put it as a complimentary video on MyLEGONetwork (gold star if you remember that site). Having some kid get instant insect armor or whatever was going on here was a rather gripping visual to pair with a theme where the aliens that time around were still rather human/minifig looking all things considered. The Martians remain my favorite too, and I'm all for advocating that eventually LEGO redesigns the figures in someway to reintroduce them. It does go against the last few space-exploration waves treating Mars more "realistically" but I feel like its worth defying that to bring these guys back.

My favorite Lego KZfaq channel around. Pure class.

I would love to see a review of some of these sets too!

Such a fun video! A lovely look all the amazing aliens of lego’s past LoM martians have got to be my favourite just because of how fun and original it is. Great video I love so many of these aliens great video, gotta be one of my favourites ❤❤

I like em all. I think using any of them as background characters in my StarWars mocs help with not only some much needed population diversity but also help keep any scene, with an otherwise serious tone,a lil more playfull

I've had one of those grey helmets for the longest time and had no idea where it came from. Cool to finally find out

My favorite thing about Rench from Space Police 3 is the uniform - he's a member of the Blacktron Gang! I really want to amass an amount of different figure parts with Blacktron prints so I can put together a a colorful little gang of them, the abundance of references Blacktron gets in other themes is great for that.

I really loved this video! Despite not owning any of the sets mentioned, I have multiple of these aliens! I absolutely love them! This was a treat!

I absolutely love the galaxy squad aliens, they are from my favourite space theme and they remind me of tyranids from 40k

UFO and Alien Conquest are great themes. So much unrealized potential.

Ah I just love the space police aliens. And that is so much nostaliga talking. I use to try and collect the sets so I could get all of them. It was such a fun theme I miss dearly

The Life on Mars figures are some of my favorite figures EVER. Rigel was the best, and I loved pitting them against each other. Wish you went a little more into them here (or another video?).

I remember the life on mars aliens from one of the lego racer games! One of them showed up in a mech and was absolute bs. Good times

I remember UFO and Insectoids. As a kid, I saved up the pocket money I earned through chores, to get the 6979 Interstellar Starfighter. I still think they're pretty cool now, especially the "fibre optic" lighting they had, which looked amazing in the dark.

I love the new lil City aliens. It feels more like they're friendly wildlife and something to check out.

The small, new ones are so adorable.

What a fun video! I had no idea there were that many Lego aliens! It was interesting to see them "evolve" over the years!

The UFO series was awesome! I loved the heat activated tiles in the sets

I grew up with Space Police and Alien Conquest! Good times… :)

when i first saw the 1997 alien figures i thought those were pretty modern its insane how well designed and made they were bck then

my favorite aliens where always from the alien conquest sets, I NEEDED those sets back in the day, unfortunately my family back then was not interested in buying 300 dollars worth of legos for every christmas, the vibrant greens and the cartoony color coded feel of the sets made my little baby brain go crazy

Galaxy Squad is one of my favorite LEGO themes. My brother and I loved it so much. I had the human vehicles (which I adored) and he had the awesome army of aliens. Alien Conquest was also really good, and I had some of the Space Police III sets as well.

I have all but the two most expensive sets for the 2024 LEGO City space series and absolutely love them. Currently have them displayed on my desk at work.

I remember these sets! I remember getting some of the random pieces from a box mom found at a thrift store for a couple bucks that was a birthday present. I've still got some of the pieces but not the mini figs

I really want to get some of the new space sets, though i just got laid off from my job and can't exactly go splurging now. I do regret sleeping on galaxy squad, if only for how toyetic so many of the sets are. Transforming and combining vehicles are my jam.

Vidiyo is awesome, the figures are so detailed

I also have a nostalgic spot for Life on Mars Martians! I got one of the smaller sets second hand from a garage sale when I was a kid and nearly cried when my lime green boi started to break on me. Also the Galaxy Squad aliens go really really hard, almost giving District 9 vibes.

The UFO and Insectoids have always been my favorite

I think the Alien Conquest aliens might be my favorite. I love the designs and even came up with some of my own stories involving them and similar designed aliens. The different types of green aliens, including the recolored Squidman from a CMF are all different variants of one species that ruled that galaxy centuries ago. But a plague hit and the rulers put themselves into stasis to wait it out while all the worlds were left to fend for themselves. Now as humanity begins to head for the stars, they find these variants and need to form an alliance with these worlds before the reawakened leaders can recruit them into the old empire. I even included the mosquitoids as a drastic variation of the species.

I kinda missed the Space Police, Alien Conquest and Galaxy Squad lines, and while I don't regret not buying the sets I do regret not having some of those minifigs. I do have one of those 2-piece Martians, and I agree with the glow-in-the-dark effect being pretty much unnoticeable.

Thanks Caleb for always bringing it.
