So, here I am, starting my Lego Rewind rewind!
"MANIAC NOT INCLUDED."
Man, that was actually a good line on Lego's part.
90s lego had this weird sense of humor that really resonates with me sometimes. must be the danish writers.
@@calcifieddirt4120 I think part of the charm of 90s LEGO humor in particular was that they were completely and fully into lampshading the fact that LEGO plots had been historically completely up to the whims of the builder, so anything could change at any moment. It ended up causing the humor to become a certain level of idiosyncratic and absurd.
@@Zovi_ well put
It's me, I'm the maniac! :D
You know the real reason it was cool though, the energy chainsaws.
Too true
And the Ice Babe, the first Lego lady astronaut! :)
THE
WHAT
ORANGE TRANSPARENT CHAINSAW!!!
The secret affair with the member of Blacktron is my favourite detail in a MOC ever. Hands down, I love it. I'm now tempted to order some of those trans-orange Chainsaws.
0:00 that was the biggest hit of nostalgia I've ever had!
The reason I know about these is that my grandparents have some of these sets in their basement and every time would go visit I would play with them
I still absolutely love new LEGO sets, but there’s such a charm they had from the 90s into the early 2000s
My favorite Lego subtheme ever!
I didn't grow up in a very wealthy family and my parents couldn't afford the massive castles, fire stations or pirate ships I was drooling over but I played all the time with the little ice tank (6814) and couldn't stop talking about how awesome the Ice Planet collection was...
I'll never forget that Christmas morning of 1993 when my parents eventually got me the amazing Deep Freeze Defender (6973). It was snowing like crazy outside and this was the perfect gift. This is probably my fondest childhood memory.
Even with the first video of this series, I'm still awestruck by your sense of pacing and editing. On my way to binge every lego rewind episode!
You know with everybody taking influence from the MCU these days, I'd love to see these connected themes come back today.
The closest thing we ever got was making Chima part of Ninjago's alternate realms, so lego has revisited the idea a bit, but never to this scale, which is a shame.
I've never heard of ice planet but I like the idea of it and I really like the mocs people have made
Lego was at its initial peak around this era. Everything was awesome in the early 90s. Pirates, castle, the different space factions. Classic!!!
It was really cool seeing this theme for the first time, no pun intended, I swear. I was born in '98, so I ended up missing this and probably a lot of LEGO themes that are going to be shown off in this series. It's a shame too since Ice Planet 2002 looked awesome, and the MOCs, holy crap those MOCs were pretty sweet looking.
This was a good first episode, Nick. I'm looking forward to the rest!
Thank you.
I'm starting a LEGO Rewind marathon after not seing the show for a while, feels like meeting again with an old friend.
This line was pretty cool. I bought the celestial sled set and I love it’s simplicity while being soo amazing
I remember ice planet, I loved legos growing up but at the time several of the sets came out my family’s financial situation was tenuous so I couldn’t get the bigger sets. My dad would occasionally surprise me with one of the smaller sets from the different themes. Please keep make it these videos on the different themes, I love watching them and taking the trip down memory lane.
I always loved the aesthetic of Ice Planet so much. I was born in 1994 so I never got to own any sets, but the first Lego I owned was a huge bucket of parts my parents got at a garage sale and it had some Ice Planet parts in it, so I made significant use of those in my MOCs. Once I got Lego Racers I used to play all the space levels, and especially the Ice Planet one, over and over again just to experience the worlds.
I wish I had more space on my shelves for LEGO. I have so many older sets from the 80s, 90s and 2000s, but not enough room for shelves. Thank you for your LEGO Rewind videos, a nice nostalgia trip. I miss my childhood.
I had some of the Ice Planet sets and I personally think, that the older LEGO sets from my childhood were much better than what we have today. But that just might be my nostalgia.
6:57 I can see why you found these repetitive, but I would argue that there was enough to differentiate each theme from one another, whether it was an aesthetic, color scheme, mood, etc.
Despite that, I felt a lot more repetition when it came to the Castle themes, similar to how you found the recent "Space" themes to be repetative. "Lego Castle" from 2007-2009, in my opinion was a fun fantasy-themed series, but after that, we had "Kingdoms". It had a lot of similar sets to "Castle's" first year, but it did go back to "knights of different factions" which hadn't been used for a while, so I was a bit more willing to give it a pass, even if I felt like it was a bit boring. Then in 2013, we got another theme named "Castle", which felt like a combo between the previous two themes, but again, it had sets with very similar ideas from the last two, and because of that, it felt even more boring and even lazy, right down to having an evil sorcerer VERY similar looking to the one from "Castle". Even though I don't collect Lego sets anymore, I'll give credit to "Nexo Knights" for doing it's own thing and having it's own ideas and aesthetic compared to the recent Castle themes.
Coming back to this, I remember how beautiful it is.
This was one of my favorite themes as a kid and I still have a few of these sets! Aquanauts was the other I really liked.
Seriously the nostalgic feeling that I get when I watch your videos. I remember getting the spaceship set and actually building it on my family vacation from Ohio to Atlanta Georgia. Just building it in the back of my mom's Chevy Tahoe. Seriously fond memories
Duder, you’ve done it again. Great episode. As a 45 year old nerd’s nerd, I love your approach on the world of “LEGO forensics.”
Excelsior!
Ice planet was like some of my earliest memories of playing with Lego as a kid. It was one of the smallish sets, think the blizzard baron or similar. Ah....good times.
God damn, the artwork and mocs people have made are incredible. I love the tires at 4:09 and 5:43 (especially the tire tracks. Very creative and aesthetically pleasing), and the artwork at 5:02. I spent a solid minute just admiring each of them.
Im rewatching this series again and I think it gets better every time I watch it
(UPDATE) I am now doing the same
I'm proud to say I own almost the whole set except the giant space ship one. But it really shock me that I never knew there were back stories behind all these themes.
This was recommended to me as Action Game.
Wait, what?
NickonAquaMagna My thoughts exactly.
Thank you RUclips for randomly recommending episode 9 of this Lego Rewind series.
I'm gonna watch all of it.
I absolutely love Lego
So i never knew this Lego space line existed (just before my time) until i saw this vid, but i absolutely love the aesthetic of it! So much so I started a collection and I've even began work on a short 3d film on ice planet. Great vids man!
love how on the pulse you are with the spirit of lego, such rich creativity this medium allows
I don't think I own even a single Ice Planet set, and yet it feels so nostalgic anyway! I'd love to get my hands on some of these.
Ice Planet 2002 & Aquazone, my absolute favorite Lego themes! Can't tell you how many hours i spent looking at those pages in the Lego catalogue before finally getting a couple of sets.
Ice planet is awesome, I love the blue, white and trans-orange color scheme and the general aesthetic of the line
Omg that Intro takes me back 😂 I grew up on that Lego Logo!
"And I felt like sharing my appreciation of Lego's many other themes, the ones that have really _clicked_ with me."
I see what you did there.
I REALLY like the colors and shapes of these og space theme spin offs. the m tron, space police, ice planet, all of them have such a classic feel but with the winds of modern lego enhancements totally perceptible. these were the sets just before my time, technically as a 97 baby id be old enough, but i mostly had hand me down legos and didnt actually start getting new sets until a couple years before i went through my dark times from young teenager to this year
That Miramax Lego logo for part of the intro was just beautiful, hit me right in the nostalgia. Also I've loved Planet Ripple so far and intend to buy both volumes when I have the funds and am super excited for when you get back to Nova Orbis.
Thank you. Been trying to get back into it, but... it's hard. I will continue it.
i actually remember getting a few of the smaller sets when i was a kid. These were a really cool line, i especially loved the colouring of the sets, it made them feel a bit more distinct given the time frame.
I was born in 91, and thanks to LEGO Racers 1, I wanted everything from the Ice Planet theme. Just lived the vibe of it as a kid. Now as an adult, I want some sets of this theme.
I was born in 91 as well.
Holy shit, that fan art is amazing. I'm so impressed.
you mentioned some fan-fic uniting all space themes in another video, and now that I've seen those art works, I understand why someone would go through the time to make that! That world suddenly comes to life, especially with that perfect background music you chose
this is an amazing quality video nick. i really look forward to more of them.
Thanks. I just hope this gets more traction as it goes on.
I make it a tradition to rewatch lego rewind every once in a while
I always wished I was aware of these older themes. I was only ever really familiar with this one because of Lego Racers, but a lot of these sets look really well made.
man i'd love to see a modern take on this theme! or even just the entire space theme modernized. i think it could do well for lego! i mean look how well loved Benny and the exo armor Cuuso sets were!
Ice Planet IS my childhood, I remember playing with these sets in winter on landscapes I've made of the actual snow :)
The best way to play with toys from an ice setting. Hope you didn't lose any pieces!
I began watching this series when you first released it over six years ago, Nick. It was a tough time, and I found a lot of comfort in your analyses of Lego lines. It took me back to simpler times of staying up all night, alone or with my best childhood friends, combing through boxes and creating, recreating, and/or adding to pre-existing lore. Over the years I’ve returned to watch here and there, like resting next to a warm hearth during a long journey. I find myself here again, thankful that you were so thorough that I might forget my troubles for a bit and feel even a fraction of my childhood excitement and imagination.
5:08 looks like a CR-90 Corvette from Star Wars.
I just want to say your videos are top notch. You are very balanced and well thought out, keep up the awesome work.
I only ever had 2 of the small sets, but I really loved this line. If I can down the road once I get a better, more stable job, I'm gonna see if I can go online and find some of these old sets. I honestly think Ice Planet had a better color scheme than any others, so it really lends to making it fun to MOC.
Since I’m actually a teenager and watching this and other LEGO rewind videos makes me feel like I was a kid who grew up with this
That's secondhand nostalgia for ya'.
Ice planet is a beautiful theme in my opinion, the cool blues and white mixed with the contrasting orange makes it something truly special, and to be honest I've never seen a theme color scheme like that done before or since, sure there have been sets like gali uniter but that was a single set and to be honest ice planet is my favorite out of the space subthemes
I love rewatching this series, so much nostalgia from themes I grew up with in the 2000s even if I didn’t always get them, and the curiosity and sense of nostalgia from older themes I was never around to enjoy. Thank you Nick for reigniting that Lego spark I grew up with, it keeps me into the toys time, after time.
I had most of these sets growing up, at least the base, the rocket carrier, the large ship, and at least one of the smaller sets. I loved Ice Planet, and most of the Space Police stuff that came out before this right up to the old "Blue and Yellow Space Lego" sets from the mid 80s, although we had at least one of the big ships. Ill never forget one year for my B-Day I got the "Space Monorail" set - still have some of it but there are definitely pieces missing, and I think they re the important pieces. We (my brother and I both were into Lego, although he preferred the Castle and Pirate sets) may of also lost a shoebox filled with mini-figures (Oh god please tell me its around here somewhere!)though.
This is a really coo- er... uh... Awesome series your making
(Phew, dodged a bullet there)
I can see you melting under the pressure.
Sonicbot That understatement was just cold
Ice puns.
Sonicbot finish your comment and don't freeze
Funny
that apartment moc is fucking adorable.
Awesome review dude. I am eager to see what you think of the Life on Mars sets. I think they were from 2001. Thought those sets were the coolest as a kid. I still have them all -- none of the original instructions or boxes though.
dude the opening at 0:00 !!! It unlocked dormant memories of playing LEGO LOCO when i was like 8
good news, 6 years later they've returned to non-combat focused space sets
jesus, i just realized this video is 5 years old to the day, damn time really does fly.
I honestly love this aesthetic. I’m gonna make some of my own mocs
Omggg the nostalgia of this whole series of vids is taking me back!!
I was SO into these sets! They were so cool and I loved the box art.
2:07 I didn't expect to see one of my pics! I loved this vid
It was a great picture. Thanks dude.
Good two years man , Love to see what other projects you got.
Cool series! Thanks for the work you've put into this. And I'm happy my build got featured =D
No prob. Thank YOU!
Me and my brother had the smallest ice planet set (6814 Ice Tunnelator ) back then, but the we really liked the detailed minifig, we used his head in many of our castle mocs as the main good/bad guy. I wish we had more of this line.
a great throwback to the classic Lego Space was the lego movie set "benny's spaceship spaceship spaceship!" Benny himself was entirely classic space, with the blue, gray, and transparent yellow.
First time sitting down and watching this show, and I gotta say this is pretty cool. I was born in '93, so a lot passed me by....but it just makes me wanna know more and more! Love Classic Space and all LEGO! Can't wait to see the rest of it! (BTW, love those old 90's ads. Makes me feel like a kid again!)
Just wait until you see how the production values and scripting improve as it goes on.
Yeah yeah I know you probably get this all the time but this vid got me on eBay within a few minutes. Should have the first few Ice Planet sets by the end of the week
Thank you for reintroducing me back to lego 🤝
Me returning to binge the whole series at 2am instead of sleeping.
Something I feel like Lego has lost in recent themes is this "abstractness" they used to have, especially in their space or mining themes. A lot of the builds will were pretty simple and used big chunky elements like vehicle cockpits and domes, and a building could be nothing more than some scaffolding on a huge base piece, but your imagination filled in the gaps.
If Lego were to release a chainsaw mini build these days, it would be made of like 5 different pieces with a hand guard and everything, and would be in a forestry themed City set. But in Ice Planet, it's just a blue base piece and a transparent orange saw piece. And a lot of the theme is like this. A regular old snowshoe can become a high-tech futuristic laser snowshoe from the distant future just by reprinting the piece in transparent neon orange. What purpose does it serve? How does it work? Why do the Ice Planet explorers need them? The answer is really "who cares"? Just give it to kids and they'll come up with their own answers to these questions.
Good series, would love to see more
I just watched a video from R.R. Slugger about Lego retiring the color Trans Neon Orange, i will miss that color as i miss CCBS and Lego Space.
I love Magnets, so I love M-Tron.
Who appear to be the shipping company of Lego Space...
Or maybe they are firefighters? Or miners? Or resque team? We never got a proper answer.
Being born in 1991. those set bring me tears of nostalgia
This was a very ice episode
Boo!
2:33 this was released one year before i was even born but i love it... i need it
off to bricklink
I just remembered that I had the base of ice planet, through your video. Good work! Also I liked the space sets very much and I had the black robot also.
Born in 1989, so I was too young for almost all of the first/classic Space sets, but came in right as Ice Planet, Spyrius, and Space Police were in. They're by far the most nostalgic themes for me (alongside Aquazone and Trains). I found myself agreeing with every point you made, especially about the popularity of the theme/sets for mocs. The colors are simplistic, but not boring, and the sets are straight forward, but still very charming. One thing I noticed when you showed multiple mocs with different generations of bricks (some more curved/modern, some all 90's era) is that none of the pieces really felt out of place. You could build an Ice Planet moc with any generation of pieces or ideas, and it looks mostly at home.
I got the Deep Freeze Defender as an Xmas gift, and I think it took 5-year old me about 3 days to build it, spread over my dinner table with help from my family. Thanks for reigniting that memory for me. I hope you continue to do these Rewinds, as they're a great retrospective of one of the best toys ever created.
That hits me where I live, man. You bet there'll be more of these.
1:07 That was my first Lego set ever. Memories!!
My favorite theme as a kid. And you had it exactly right. The more basic colors or old space themes lend themselves much easier to MOCs. We need less Star Wars and more M tron. Bring back ice planet!!
This is the start of a new series, to go along with my game reviews.
If only he knew...
Awesome content dude. Nostalgic af.
man i freaking love your videos, great job
Damn its been 5 years, I remember when these videos first released
According to the list on Brickipedia, all the Ice Planet sets I had came in a three pack. I'll totally look into rebuilding them.
White, Blue, and Orange was a color theme you wouldn't think went together, but did.
No, thank you Nick!
Great video! Thanks for sharing my saber tooth cat moc!!!
Wow I have several figures from this ice planet 2002 series and I never even knew this was where they were from!
LEGO Space from ~89-97 or so is my favourite period of LEGO of all time. I miss that stuff so much.
I honestly listen to this as a podcast
This was COOL to see. Keep up the great work ;)
Nice channel love Ice Planet, I did not remember it was part of bigger world tx for reminding me about it
Loved my Ice planet sets.
NEW SERIES! Love it! Very excited. I hope you end up reviewing Adventurers/Orient Expedition.
Oh, you bet I will.
HYPE
Time to watch the whole thing again!
I never heard of this but I can see so much that can be done with it like a mass crossover, or maybe divisions such as a miner unit repurpose for military use
