So I've been away from Lego sets for a while, and I just thought it might be fun to find a space set to build and have fun with.

Now for context I grew up with the 90's/00's Space sets, such as

• https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Exploriens
• https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/UFO
• https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Insectoids

Basically all the subthemes on this page: https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Space (seeing them all gives a lot of nostalgia).

Now I had a look at the Lego website for current similar sets, and it looks like there's only 1 (!) Space set? https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/city?filters.i0.key=categories.id&filters.i0.values.i0=14addeb5-c1c9-47c6-8524-3cc7e52d303e

Other sets are still listed, but retired: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/modular-galactic-spaceship-60446

I've been reading a few threads on forums, and it seems like this is mostly because Lego wants to focus on Star Wars sets, where they make more money?

I'm not really the biggest fan of franchised stuff, Star Wars and others, so is second hand basically the only way to get sets like the Modular Galactic Spaceship?

That specific translucent yellow is an instant nostalgia trip for me.

Blacktron and Ice Planet forever.

It’s the green for me!

The yellow was a bit before my time, for me it is the orange from the ice planet.

Don't forget M:Tron !!!

Within the last 2~3 years they had a few City space sets that are the same sport of space Corp miner thing. Pretty sure they did a whole space year thing that year.

And a mini fig set

Don't forget about Artemis, the shuttle carrier, astronaut, Mars rover, and solarium either.

The translucent orange chainsaws appear randomly in my mind.

I know they're not quite the same as the Modular Space stuff, but there's a few 3-in-1 space sets available currently:

Thank you for the links, unfortunately most of them seem to be sold out

Would think you can get them reasonably priced on bricklink

memories unlocked

BlueBrixx just started a new sci fi space series. See for example:

https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/prod/108914/space-pioneers-exploration-ship/

I was gonna comment "what about the entire new series they came out with a couple years ago?" so I'm glad someone else did in more detail.

Thanks, I'll have a look

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

These were my favourite Lego sets, all the older space ones. Black tron, m tron, space police, ice, etc. Anything branded comes with baggage but these were free for whatever adventures I could think of.

I still have all my old Lego, but I never got that huge mtron 6 wheeler
