I honestly think it would've been better to release each model individually as their own sets rather then having the 2 smaller ones be rebuilds of the galaxy explorer. I would be willing to spend $100+ to get all 3 models rather than $300, now I understand why they didn't do it that way this is an anniversary set and they probably weren't thinking of making a line if sets for these but still would've been pretty cool

one of the best if not the best review you've put out so far, duckbricks!

I only own one copy of the 90th Anniversary Galaxy Explorer, and I don't plan on disassembling it or buying multiple copies of it (I don't have the budget for it), but I do have a suggestion for the extra parts. As you showed with the original Galaxy Explorer's box art, LEGO provided a number of potential alternatives. I think that's an excellent starting point. You could also attempt to recreate the Tower from the original Galaxy's Explorer set. Unfortunately because I don't have 3 copies of the set, I cannot provide more than vague suggestions.

ngl the irl space ship bit got me grinning

Seeing him nonchalantly walk through a hall of hundreds of times my entire Lego collection by the time I’m dead is really weird it just keeps going

I just got mine delivered today! I had the original sets in 1980. Wish I still had them. I’m 51 years old now. Recently I acquired the alien conquest sets + extra abduction ufos. Currently on a recollection binge for space lego as I am blessed with a 6 year old son with a love for creating his own lego builds. I’ve been scooping up random lego from thrift stores and marketplace for 3 years now. We have a decent supply of creative pieces and sets, plus my sets which are not to be taken apart ! Lol😁We Are in awe of your lego showroom! Subbed.✌️❤️

Thanks for this. Great to see all 6 models lined up

You going in the spaceship was cool

487 (the 2-figure model) was actually released the year before in 1978. I got 487 for my 6th birthday and 497 for my 7th. Thanks for this video it really hits home for me. I'll be ordering the new version ASAP!

That was a thorough and complete recap. Awesome job, Great Work! Love if you follow up with a video of what you decide to do with the left over bricks ! I have the original Space Cruiser ( as you call 2 man ship) got it for Christmas 1979. Looking to get the new Galaxy Explorer for Christmas this year ( as a nostalgic throwback to my own childhood).

They are all epic. Love bennys Spaceship too

Wow, this really hits my nostalgia nerve. I got the 2 man ship while my older brother got the Explorer. I just placed a backorder for the Explorer, but now I may have to buy another set as well to make the 2 man ship! I wish they just released the 2 man ship as well on its own.

Love Classic Space LEGO. Wish they brought it all back as an official theme, I would buy them all. Castle needs to come back too.

Great set. Build al 3 versions, but just have 1 set, so at the end I have rebuild the big one. Price is very good, and not just 2022 good. Such a clever design as well. Loved to see all versions together. Well done.

Yeah, more rugged durable versions of the space stations from the 80s would’ve been amazing because that’s what I was trying to simulate with my daughter now so I’m trying to decide if I’m gonna spend $300 to get us basically three spaceships and then figure out some sort of space base.

I feel like the Black Oxygen Tanks were referencing the Blacktron Cruiser GWP set like the 2 x 2 tile printed with the radar detecting the Blacktron Ship rather than the Black Classic Spaceman

Hi Chris yes nice one I only be getting one of the sets as I not collect classic space sets in the past but trying to collect the classic space mini figs and gathering parts to build sume to but for any classic space collector geting X3 of the set to do the other build is great thort.

Black air tanks as an easter egg turned out to be true with the return of Blacktron in 2023's GWP

8:33 yeah, I was really hoping for a med. stone grey helmet and air tanks, too. They dropped the ball with that one. And where’s our green classic helmet for that Ideas set that came out in 2014?

GDI Chris...time for a house tour/lego collection video LOL

More Classic Space! Also mold the old pieces please! Tailfins, tri directional jets, yellow trans plates etc...

If you look at pieces per dollar, lego has kept the same price point since the original ship. Usually 10 pices per Dollar average.

The set just went down to 75$, its honestly a steal.

This house... In an earthquake... I can't even imagine.

I'm 8 years old and I got that set today 😂

Just a whole new line of this theme would just be great!

7:40 I believe thore are RCS parts, not speakers in SPACE.. xD

Hi BEST REGARDS FROM i-Lego UNBOXING MOVIE MOC and more... Nice Episode 👍🎬👍🎬👍👍👍👍👍

"If you adjusted for inflation" ... If Lego had re-released the original set instead of the modernised version, no way would it be more expensive, even with that moon crater base plate.

You know technically the only thing this set was missing are just the Base plates. Tye original came with a little research base right? Well the new one has that middle area between the Cockpit and the Hanger. That's the Research area!! It's a Galaxy Explorer, it shouldn't need to come to a research station, the Research happens in the ship. It's out there exploring the Galaxy it doesn't have time to constantly come back to the outpost

Great video. Will you do another one comparing it specifically to Brick Artisan's version. Would also love to hear your thoughts on how it compares to Benny's spaceship Spaceship! SPACESHIP!!

Wish they just sold each alternate version as a separate build. I can’t afford to buy three of em. I am on the hunt for the originals of my childhood now.

I was 10 when the Classic Space sets were introduced. The Galaxy Explorer was out of reach at the time, but I did have the 487 Space Cruiser. The 918 was not a US release (but it was in Canada) so it was a wish list set but not available to me. The new 10497 looks a great set, and is on the wish list. Great nod to the sets of my childhood.

Love your channel! Have you ever tripped and accidentally knocked over any sets? I did once (knocked over a my black knights castle).

Could you use the extra pieces to make a command center? Using those printed tiles as the main command desk?

16:55 I had that one on the right you're holding when I was a kid. Great to see this stuff. Beautiful :D :D

Wish Lego made it more like the original and have smaller options for families with less income.

Could the spare parts make a version of the original Galaxy Explorers 'Moonbase'?

2:16 my nervous self could never 😭

Of course!

I build the main one but I only have the original 924. My wife disassembled it and I build the "new" 924. But I hate that there are no optional stickers! I put the 1x4 brick from the 70's in the new one and display the original from the other side...

Can you explain to me how the 2005-2006 sets were very unstable? I had a bunch back in the day and I can agree but I’d like a more detailed explanation. Thanks!

great video as always! you carry lego content. Also how are u able to afford so much lego? The price for lego sets has increased drastically over the past few years. Do you have another job or own a business?

OMG, Lego museum !. Love it.

some sort of moon base with the extra parts would be cool

Great review. Lego has come a long way. I hope we’ll get more from Lego.

This man has every lego set ever

I have a little theory. Although I don't own the two smaller guys, I have a theory that combining the two smaller builds get you the galaxy explorer😀

Though I do appreciate the detail of the new one, I actually prefer the old Galaxy Explorer. Wish I still had mine.😪😁

I feel this whole video I room flex I FUCKIN LOVE YOUR ROOM

You should use all the extra pieces to build a new version of the space station from the original Galaxy Explorer.

I had those ships back in 79

meanwhile the background is literally like $134,254,245 worth of lego

o BOY, YOU HAVE ALMOST As Much LEGO ass me ! ! !

mine is backordered!!

Wish he workshops about the blackttron forces

It's been lowered to $75 at Walmart, so if you want it that's the place to get it!

Someone pointed out that you could put a robot into a part in the back of one of the smaller ships. Haven't seen that in your review (had to zap a bit). Have you found that semi-hidden feature?

The new one is adjusted for people who grew in size ( 9 - 12 yrs old vs middle age man )

I got my galaxy explorer from Walmart for only 75 dollers not 100

bro has every lego wich is auwsome bro

I wish you only had to buy 2 in total sets to make both alternate builds like you mentioned, still impressive though

You’re really good, awesome enthusiasm and knowledge 🙌🏻👌🏻🇩🇰

Duck bricks the galaxy explorers at walmart are 70 dollars instead of 100 and I saved 30 dollars

Doesn't the yello w roof slide off on the original ship and which model were the yellow lower cockpit glass pieces on? Nice to see these again after 40 years. My nephew still has some of the original pieces of my old models in his Lego box😃

Just checking so for the alternative builds I need 2 more separate sets?

19:43 those are RCS thrusters 💀

Your 6780 set is missing two red parts at the nose. Great vlog btw. I enjoyed it.

I'm going to buy this I can build all the spaceships with all my leftover'80s and 70s parts I've been going through my Lego trying to get everything organized lots of broken parts I'm 47 years old man I'm going to make this happen

Dusting all these sets must be a breeze...

how do you get the legos on the wall.

I wish I could make all 3 but I can't justify buying 3 copies of this set.

How fun it is to dust all those sets around the house ?

The original was 32 bucks which actually wasn’t as expensive in 1979 and 1980 as people keep making it out to be. I had and still have the Beta-1 Command Base, and even that was 30! I still have the box with the price tag on it.

Great Review 🚀👍🏻

where is the 3 man model?

You didnt show the mocs

Didn't the ll924, the mid-sized ship, come with a forklift? I thought it did.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing! Now I dont have to buy any of them, lol Cheers!

Thank you for the review! Could you please tell which music you used in the background? :)

I might just gate you now. I have to buy two more.....

My favorite set in a long time! Classic, nostalgic, modifiable, and feature packed! I already modded mine and made a digital version to fly as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsVilqWJ2dq2lYU.html

I didn't like the 1 man ship because of no landing gear

Cost of living isnt factored in. Lego is only getting more expensive because everything is.

bro do u glue your lego ??????

In many European countries this set costs 130€, meaning it costs the same as the original did in today's money (considering the euro is basically equal to the us dollar)

Dude, you need an intervention. Anyone ever told you about your Lego problem? :P

where did you find the instructions for these alternate builds, was it official lego instructions or were they from rebrickable?

Inflation should not be the only factor to consider in pricing, just like in weather forecasts, there is an "apparent temperature" measurement, in adquisition power, aside from inflation, also the earnings ratio should be accounted for. The sets might seem to have been more expensive back then, only accounting for inflation, but you were able to earn money at a higher ratio back then than now, and "invisible" taxes were not as detrimental to household economy than today. Nowdays you need to make a significant higher effort to sustain the same economical level than 40+ years ago, with the exception of the "easy money" bubble we have today with youtubers, influencers, etc, the rest of us human beings have to bust our @sses double or triple.

nah but what if an earthquake hit this guys house…

"But no it's actually not", so I reply no you are actually wrong although what your stick man opponent said isn't right either because just adjusting for inflation is very much flawed for two reason. One being the changes in cost of production, if it would be released in modern I estimate (although my calculation might be off by a lot, for they were created on short notice with numbers from various dubious source and price is ultimate determined not by production but supply and demand ) around 40-60$ and secondly being that inflation itself isn't actually "real" Money doesn't just lose value because of some ambiguous force, price go up and vages go up, there for money is worth less but it actually isn't that simple because vages don't go up perfectly aligned with inflation there for disposable income decrease in proportionally and there for spending 30$ back then isn't perfectly in proportion with spending 130$ but is actually far less than that If I do not get a reply on this comment I will be forced to create a video calculating the exact values and @ it to you

My man, it is ALWAYS a mistake to flex on camera your entire huge collection, we all know the dangers of vindictive envious people on huge lego collectors

Well they are a business to sell! Haha

Space Cruiser... can we please for the love of God call it the Space Cruiser? It's not the "2 man ship"...

Please help the channel brickli build the largest Lego clone army.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Well always i can trust in a chinese guy!

I don’t think this guy even likes legos

SECOND

Bravo bravo....complimenti dall' italia❤
