Bob De Quatre Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 First "official" set of the year is 70816 Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! from the LEGO Movie: Quote
Jim Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Great work Bob That classic spaceship is awesome! I will transfer this one to my "must buy" list Quote
Dr Leg O Brick Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Don't forget about that Cuusoo Mech, Sci Fi based. I remember that it was passed to be made. Is Galaxy Squad going to continue? I was under the impression that it was canned, as no other info has surfaced about new set/s. As for the 919, Benny's Space ship, word's can not encapsulate how entirely spectacular it is. A day one purchase, I believe. Edited January 6, 2014 by Dr Leg O Brick Quote

A day one purchase, I believe. I'll add the Cuusoo Exo suit to the first post when we'll have further information. Looking at Benny's spaceship, it seems to have 2 small craft attached to the wings. And I'm wondering how the small grey engines are attached to the blue fins... Quote
Leewan Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 And I'm wondering how the small grey engines are attached to the blue fins... Donut tile + Jumper plate. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Donut tile + Jumper plate. You mean like the One ring? Quote
Leewan Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) No, I was speaking of this part. The jumper plate's stud goes into the hole, which allows to mount the engines upside down. Edited January 6, 2014 by Leewan Quote

RCS Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 The SPACESHIP!! is an instant 'classic'. I love it. Quote
Dr Leg O Brick Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 That's fine, I just thought with you mentioning 2014 Space stuff, I'd put down the mech. Apparently, if I remember correctly from a post in The Lego Movie Topic, 919's nose cone detaches, the back acts as a sort of escape pod (I'll use it as a lab), and as you say Bob De Quatre, the far end wings look like they can detach, particularly if you look at the first pick, it looks like these small shuttles have foldable wings. With all this hype, and (Spoilers from the Lego Movie) the appearance of more Classic Space in the film (somehow), I'm hoping that we'll get a full blown come-back. Hopeless, I know, but I can still dream. Quote
slacker int Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I'm praying those classic space slopes / wings are printed parts and not stickers... and also gold like the originals. Fingers crossed! Quote
danth Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That's fine, I just thought with you mentioning 2014 Space stuff, I'd put down the mech. I'm totally excited for the exo-suit, provided it has the classic white space man. Anything classic-space, or neo-classic space, is an insta-buy. Apparently, if I remember correctly from a post in The Lego Movie Topic, 919's nose cone detaches, the back acts as a sort of escape pod (I'll use it as a lab), and as you say Bob De Quatre, the far end wings look like they can detach, particularly if you look at the first pick, it looks like these small shuttles have foldable wings. With all this hype, and (Spoilers from the Lego Movie) the appearance of more Classic Space in the film (somehow), I'm hoping that we'll get a full blown come-back. Hopeless, I know, but I can still dream. There's never been a better time to hope for a Classic Space come-back, what with Benny's ship and the exo-suit, as well as Peter Reid's space book. Hopefully, if Lego prints those slopes, they'll look for more opportunities to use them! Speaking of Benny's ship, it looks like there are two little folded up robots underneath the radar dish. Also I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned those "competition cannons" at the base of each wing. I'm praying those classic space slopes / wings are printed parts and not stickers... and also gold like the originals. Fingers crossed! Me too! Seriously, this is the most excited I've ever been about Lego since I was a kid. Benny's spaceship is literally a dream come true. (Yes I have dreams about Lego making space sets again, quite often in fact.) Quote
Piranha Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That ship is amazing and a must buy when it comes out. The directors of TLM were instrumental it seems in having CS heavily used in the film, apparently one of their childhood CS sets is going to cameo in it. Quote
Dr Leg O Brick Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That would be great, quite fitting to have one or more of them tinny robots from the classic sets in the back. Quote
SMC Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 The exo suit and more so the ship are so good that it looks like a great year for space even with no sign of a theme of its own and I fell odd saying that but 1 great set is better than 4 ok ones. Quote
Roger_Smith Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I'm wondering what set number Benny's spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship! :) will get. I know Lego switched to a 5-digit numbering system, and 3-digit set numbers were abandoned long ago, but I don't think there ever was a set #929 - at least I found no info on a set with that number... And they often sneak in the set number on the set itself, most notably on the classic LL918, LL924 and LL928 ships, 929s ancestors, so it would be really cool if they did that here, aswell. Or at least chose something like 10929 Edited January 7, 2014 by Roger_Smith Quote

That must've just been a European thing. In North America, the galaxy explorer LL928 set was # 497 (as opposed to 928) and the LL924 space cruiser (aka space transporter) was # 487. Seriously, this is the most excited I've ever been about Lego since I was a kid. Benny's spaceship is literally a dream come true. (Yes I have dreams about Lego making space sets again, quite often in fact.) Agreed. i hope that if this set proves successful enough, MAYBE just maybe that could be the catalyst to revive of a line of retro classic space. That would be so cool. Quote

WaysofSorting Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Very cool details. Interesting to see Uni-Kitty hanging out in the back of the ship - I hadn't seen that before (Though I'd notice Classic Space Uni Kitty in someone's signature). Anyway - the more I see of the ship, the more I like it! Pitch-perfect design for a throwback ship. Quote

Rook Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Wow! Lego really pull out some old set designs and really get us hooked on new look! 1978 YELLOW CASTLE PLEASE! XD Quote

DraikNova Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Sorry, but the image itself says that those "robots" are actually engines. Quote
