Doctor Sinister Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 March 2009 sees the 30th anniversary of the original Classic Space sets from LEGO. Now, three decades on, it’s time for a celebration of spacey goodness at www.neoclassicspace.com. Neo-Classic Space is a reimagining of the LEGO Classic Space range, using modern building techniques and parts. More than just inspired by the Classic Space sets, Neo-Classic Space is an extrapolation of the line into the 21st century and beyond. We aim to follow a carefully thought standard, which we feel is in keeping with the original designs. The culmination of a top-secret project planned over many months, www.neoclassicspace.com will present a new model every day throughout March, many from builders you already know and love, some from new talent you may not have discovered. This is only the beginning. It is time to retake space. We hope you’ll come along for the ride! Quote
Siegfried Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Well I didn't see this one coming; another Classic site! I better go and register Classic-Walrus.com. It looks good! Good luck. I'll add it to my RSS reader. (By the way, it's CopMike, not compike!... ) Quote
WetWired Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Nice Idea I made some of these revisted sets a while back, just as I was coming out of my dark ages using LDD, I should try them for real now that I have bought up a small collection of pieces, see if I can build them. They're pretty boring, all grey and no minifigs shown with them, but you get the idea. Original Thread link Original My Version Original Thread Link Original My Version Quote
Asuka Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 A wonderful project! The blue, grey and trans yellow age of Space´s what I´m growing up with, and the first that comes to my mind whenever I think of Classic Space. Although the spacers back then´re still equipped with their torchrayguns, I consider this theme mainly based on adventurous exploration rather than on the a little more unimaginative fraction versus fraction mayhem that works as TLC´s standard play theme background for far too long now. Good luck with that very neat new site on! Quote
KDog Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Oh, man, this is awesome! I can't wait to see the models you post! And I'm glad the Tranquility Base comic is in on the action. I hate to be the party pooper, but the first Classic Space sets came out in 1978. But hey, 31 years. :) Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I hate to be the party pooper, but the first Classic Space sets came out in 1978. But hey, 31 years. :) I am led to believe that there may have been a limited release of some sets around Christmas 1978 but the main stream of releases was in Spring 1979 - hence this celebration. It's also worth noting that the edition of "Bricks 'n' Pieces" featured in the poster announcing the new range above has a clear date of Spring '79 on it. Dr. S.

user Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Nice IdeaI made some of these revisted sets a while back, just as I was coming out of my dark ages using LDD, I should try them for real now that I have bought up a small collection of pieces, see if I can build them. Those are really neat the only thing I don't like is the fact that classic space always had bright colors and yours are grey. Edited February 28, 2009 by computerbug Quote
ILikePi Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Aw...this makes me wish that I had more spare parts and stuff to build the daily models. EDIT: Yay! Doctor Sinister posted in EuroBricks again after not posting for 2 months! Edited February 28, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
KDog Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Okay, I guess I shouldn't be so picky about the date. Quote
