I didn't feel a desire to collect an entire wave of modern Lego in a long time but now it's here and while it's expensive, I'm looking forward to it. I think it's partially caused by my fond memories of the five Mars Mission sets I had as I kid. I spent a lot of time playing with them and modifying them. It was a great time. I even bought two orange blankets with my limited pocket money to be able to have my own Mars terrain to go with the Lego sets.
I already intended to buy this set, I think it's one of Legos best flying machines ever, it's sleek; fairly sizable; has cool features and design, and looks great from every angle except the bottom. Your modifications really elevate it though; it uses easily obtained parts, and the build techniques are fairly simple. It's appearance is so good, it wouldn't even be too out of place among other MOCs. Now I think all get a couple and make a little squadron with them. Thanks for showing off your techniques :3
This is what Lego is really all about. Some people get so carried away thinking they’re just display models you have to put together, but they’re so much more. You can customize them and build upon them and even take them apart completely and build something new. No other model kits allow you to really do that so easily. When you’re willing to experiment and be creative there really are infinite possibilities with Lego, and not many other toys can really achieve that.
Spot on. I encourage everyone to knock their collectibles off the shelf (the individual pieces will survive because Lego is quality [except brittle gold, brown and dark red. Gotta be careful with those]) and invent new things.
Ive sorta done this exact same with my fav sets; Mars Mission. With the Crystalien Conflict on PC and Lego Battle on DS, i already had some ideas and help. Great idea for this ship too! Really like the look of the 4 engine "flaps".
05:09 totally agree man! Having gotten back into LEGO as an AFOL, I initially only built sets. Then I moved on to building other people’s alternative builds of sets…then I started modifying sets myself and adapting them to what I wanted them to be! Good example is the Batman Mask set. I loved the idea but not the execution. So I modified it. First by adding a mouth so it’s not just a mask. Then I completely modded the set, turning it from a generic looking Batman with a mouth- a sort of disembodied head- to making it into a specific Batman look. I went for the Batman Beyond version, the Terry Mcginnis batman. So the added mouth became black and modified to look more like the Beyond Batman. As well as extending and slimming down the ears! I’m now onto building original MOCs!
You absolutely brought it to life 😮 I could sense a story and worlds where this spaceship would travel to. Lots of inspiring ideas and beautifully executed! We will be building this on the weekend and using whatever spare peices we find to get creative. Thank you so much. New subscriber.
Excellent! Thanks for the kind comment. Enjoy the weekend of creativity. I've got a pirate ship to finish up so I can crank out at least one FebRovery build.
Ive been a Lego fan and builder for most of my life, watching this video and your mods to this set made me start modding mine, thanks for the inspiration!
7 месяцев назад+3
Thank you for the video. It was the reason I bought mine and spent almost all saturday modyfing it. :)
Nice landing gear mod. Also I might have to copy the bottom part of the main engine. :D I did add some space blasters on mine, because there are entirely too many dangerous 1990s aliens around here to be flying around unarmed. Plus, this set was designed with so many cool connection points for things to be added on... Also I totally agree: Lego is for creating. It's for taking what's been made, and making something new out of it. Also also, when I saw this set, I thought "I must have one." When I got one and built it, I thought "I must have six."
Biggest yet simplest change I made was to remove the light blue piece from the top of the flight pack and attach it to the underside of the power pack. I also gave the pilot some minifig accessories and placed them in the cockpit with an extra cushion (the spare grey semi circle) I put the orange one on the nose for a stronger canopy connection and cool look...
Wonderful video, thank you so much! I think that your advice on experimenting with modifications as a way to break into designing models is excellent. Your specific modifications to this model really add a lot to its visual appeal. Thank you again and best wishes. Liked and subscribed.
That'll be dope. I've seen a pic of a Blacktron II recolor out there (it was a render, not irl), but no Blacktron I yet. Do it. Do it with real bricks. Blacktron I is so cool. Working on a little mech in the theme myself.
Groovy. That part alone was a head-scratcher for me: Couldn't figure out why TLG didn't put the fourth flange in the design. I guess either an accountant counting beans, managing the profit margin, or maybe a designer consciously putting in a gap to inspire kids to add to the set. Or I'm over-thinking.
Cool. LEGO Sets have always been a bit sparse at least on one side. I've always been wondering, if it's to tickle creativity or if they are just cheap.
Holy Crap, you sir are underrated You really are a good presenter and creator but also to spark some ideas for others to do, keep it up man, you'll go far.
I immediately pulled the trigger on this set and bought two - fully thinking this was based on the movie (in retrospect it doesn't look like the ship at all) - am I the only one? still a great set. Thanks Eric for your vid and mods.
@MrRedPants english is my second language, but I thought about literal translation before movie reference when reading the name of this ship. I had to look up now how the ship from the movie looks. Not much resemblance innit?
Some have asked for a parts list, so here it goes: some tiles, some clippy things, some curvy bits, some roundy bits, a few snot brackets, angled plates and nubby thingies. ... You may think me a jerk, and I'm sorry. But I don't work in any kind of digital designer, just hands on. So I don't have the parts list ready to go. If you really want, you can pause the vid and see all or most of it. But I encourage you all to not place a bricklink order and recreate my upgrade. I'm flattered and happy to have offered some inspiration, but I encourage you all to build from your collection, and create something entirely your own.
That’s cool of you to say, in my opinion. That’s what these, let’s not kid ourselves (pun not intended) these are toys, and old or young toys should be played with.
I loved the set, but didn’t like that there was nowhere to store the included drone, so I modded to allow connection to the top/rear. Also will definitely be adding landing gear.
i think i've got the parts down for the mini manuevering thrusters (i hope) but the peice that connects the cone peice on the bottom ones are a torch peice i think? if i cant find them i might just put then on a 1x1 stud with another stud on the bottom (dont know if they exist) but the mods here are epic
Very nice! I've always been doing this, but my grand kids sometimes have trouble accepting me going off-script when it comes to the instructions ;) The oldest one is not even 5 years old yet, so they can be forgiven.
Some nice mods. As for people shying away from building, this is also partially because Lego also focuses heavily on releasing more collector's editions, like the Star Wars helmets and a lot more. Also by dropping B-models for sets, and no longer putting images of alternate builds on the boxart, as they did in the past with just about any set
I wanted to do that too, but couldn't figure out a good place for it. On or under a wing would look chunky and awkward, break the sleek style of the ship. You could remove the whole engine flaring mechanism to make a bay to stick it in, but that mechanism is fun! Removing it would be lame. Nowhere else on the fuselage to put it where it wouldn't look "stuck on". Go the limo route: stretch the build, maybe 4 studs longer, to make a storage bay behind the cockpit. Like an astromech droid on an X-wing.
Glad you like it. I don't have a parts list, but someone compiled one somewhere in the comments. Or just take the inspiration and run with your own ideas and your own parts. Happy building!
@ericlandreneau5855 Thanks. It took a lot of searching through my lego chest and I didn't have all the prices but I Jerry rigged something similar. Opted for less grebling on the undercarriage but still added some extra directional thrusters to the bottom and under those flaps. Added the 4th thruster petal too. Slightly different due to the parts I had available but it works.
Thanx for the mods! Why Lego themselves didn't add the thruster bottom assembly confuses me. Price? It's minimal pieces. At worst, $5 increase. Tips forward now? Just add 4 of them 2x2 dome pieces. Voila! Level..and they could include that with that price hike. Wait..there's a mods part 2?! Gotta go.
@@guyver5631 I've been thinking about that. I think it's playability. If you put the model down on a surface and press the button, it won't work if the lower part of the thruster is there; it'll hit whatever surface the toy is on. Sure, most kids will pick it up and swoosh it around, so no problem. But kids with one hand or other disabilities wouldn't be able to play with the toy. That's my theory.
I find a thrill in making do with what I have. Takes a lot of compromise, though. But it helps that I have a lot of parts, and nothing stays together for long, especially sets.
GG. I'd like more upgrades from you on the other space sets ! especially 60429 ship which is a little bit ugly and station 60434 (if you buy it, because it's not the same price , and a little too high to my mind)
Hello there! Some quick questions! Did you custom build your landing gear or was it based on another set? If so, either what parts did you use for the landing gear specifically or what set did you get it from?
@@jamie.nolanofficial hello! These were custom, original design to fit the space available on the ship. The hinge connection is just "1x2 clip plate 63868" and "1x2 bar plate 48336," but there are lots of combinations of clips and bars you could use here, or other kinds of connections. Then there are "1x2 curved slope 11477" and a 1x6 plate and 1x2 tile to finish off each skid. It works. Play around; I bet you can make something better.
@@ericlandreneau5855 sorry to ask again, but what is the little dome-like cap in the other gizmos under the wings? I thought it was a "Bionicle baraki eye" piece, but that has a pin, while the one you are using seems to just be a hollow cap. My google-fu is failing me
@@Thatclass43fanoffical I made a docking port (and then some). Shows in my latest vid: ruclips.net/video/kDLwWfRy_Sc/видео.htmlsi=bMxvJ4suTsI6SSIn Another video coming soon with space station mods
What is the button on the front of the maneuvering thrusters (Camera), right next to the landing gears. I've found things like that but not the one that attaches flush. Usually I find the one on the peg.
@@ericlandreneau5855 I actually had planned to make the expandable engine upgrade you made. So after seeing yours, I did the landing gear and I wanted to do the thrusters as well. But I'm debating on making a forward landing gear or sensor package similar but different from yours. Still not sure yet. So we'll see what I decide in the future.
@JEFDAKOTA1 you can check down in comments for for comments from @ariochive or @stockicide. They have posted parts list. You could order from bricklink. I just pulled stuff I have from my collection.
For a company whose motto is "Only the Best is Good Enough" selling a set with only the upper half of a spaceship.... they could have added at least 0.2 USD worth of tiles to smooth it out.
lego is a building system not a display system. these days every body rants at lego products. adults complain about stickers and other stuff. first of all we are talking about toys for kids. kids like to craft new stuff they want a special piece and they can't use it because it's a printed tile. of courese i don't like stickers but how about warhammer? you need to paint them. how about scale modelling? you need to paint them and put some waterslide decal paper stickers to it. so tell me what is the problem?

Wow, you put a lot of work into that. I'm sure people will appreciate it. The dark grey antenna is a screwdriver piece. Older design, not the current mold for screwdrivers. I'm not sure what the goblet thing is you note in light grey. Part of the antennas under the wings? If so, those are telescopes, #64644

Your additions fit so nice as if they had been planed by the original designer but then had to be left out for some reason.
Awesome mods!
@@FartingDog88 thanks! That was the goal, for sure!
Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. I'm excited as anyone to see a new line of space sets coming from TLG!
4:40 Lego is for creating. 👍 Couldn’t have said it better. Nice job.
I'm really liking the bottom fin, and landing gear.
I didn't feel a desire to collect an entire wave of modern Lego in a long time but now it's here and while it's expensive, I'm looking forward to it.
I think it's partially caused by my fond memories of the five Mars Mission sets I had as I kid. I spent a lot of time playing with them and modifying them. It was a great time. I even bought two orange blankets with my limited pocket money to be able to have my own Mars terrain to go with the Lego sets.
I already intended to buy this set, I think it's one of Legos best flying machines ever, it's sleek; fairly sizable; has cool features and design, and looks great from every angle except the bottom.
Your modifications really elevate it though; it uses easily obtained parts, and the build techniques are fairly simple. It's appearance is so good, it wouldn't even be too out of place among other MOCs.
Now I think all get a couple and make a little squadron with them.
Thanks for showing off your techniques :3
Slick little modifications! Might have to make these adjustments myself.
Loving these kind of mods, that don't take anything away and only build on it while preserving the original idea.
Added all this two to my spaceship as well! looks fantastic!
This is what Lego is really all about. Some people get so carried away thinking they’re just display models you have to put together, but they’re so much more. You can customize them and build upon them and even take them apart completely and build something new. No other model kits allow you to really do that so easily.
When you’re willing to experiment and be creative there really are infinite possibilities with Lego, and not many other toys can really achieve that.
Spot on. I encourage everyone to knock their collectibles off the shelf (the individual pieces will survive because Lego is quality [except brittle gold, brown and dark red. Gotta be careful with those]) and invent new things.
Awesome upgrades! Makes an already great set to the next level.
Ive sorta done this exact same with my fav sets; Mars Mission. With the Crystalien Conflict on PC and Lego Battle on DS, i already had some ideas and help. Great idea for this ship too! Really like the look of the 4 engine "flaps".
05:09 totally agree man! Having gotten back into LEGO as an AFOL, I initially only built sets.

I’m now onto building original MOCs!
Excellent progression! That's the way to go!
Nice addition to the bottom. It definitely needed some landing gear. I'm surprised the lower afterburner worked.
You absolutely brought it to life 😮 I could sense a story and worlds where this spaceship would travel to. Lots of inspiring ideas and beautifully executed! We will be building this on the weekend and using whatever spare peices we find to get creative. Thank you so much. New subscriber.

Does gravity affect that extra thruster piece much? Does flop down very easy?
Nope. It's light, and the clutch power of 2 clips on a bar is sufficient.

@@ericlandreneau5855 thanks! I would never in my life search for the middle piece as "telescope" 😁
@@ericlandreneau5855 sorry to ask again, but what is the little dome-like cap in the other gizmos under the wings? I thought it was a "Bionicle baraki eye" piece, but that has a pin, while the one you are using seems to just be a hollow cap. My google-fu is failing me
@@MitchKarajohn oh yeah that little grey one? It's a small antenna base, without the antenna. Part 4592. Old skool part.
What I personally am Going to do is add a docking port so it can dock to the space station so I can recreate interstellar😅
Do it! That would be fun to see!
@@ericlandreneau5855 gotta wait till my bday to get the space station
@@Thatclass43fanoffical I made a docking port (and then some). Shows in my latest vid:

Another video coming soon with space station mods
What is the button on the front of the maneuvering thrusters (Camera), right next to the landing gears. I've found things like that but not the one that attaches flush. Usually I find the one on the peg.
Antenna small base, part 4592. With the antenna lever removed
@@ericlandreneau5855 Ohm Duh! Just can't see the split. Thanks, that makes sense. Can't believe I didn't think of that.
@@ainewagner6564 they're handy little nubbins for all kinds of uses. I've seen them used well as eyes with slitted pupils.
@@ericlandreneau5855 I actually had planned to make the expandable engine upgrade you made. So after seeing yours, I did the landing gear and I wanted to do the thrusters as well. But I'm debating on making a forward landing gear or sensor package similar but different from yours. Still not sure yet. So we'll see what I decide in the future.
@ainewagner6564 different! Different is better. I like variety, diversity.
I’d buy it if had classic colour scheme, which was beautiful
People are already doing recolors. Saw a great Blacktron II recolor on Instagram.
please give info- the parts how/ where di u get them ? cus i have this set
@JEFDAKOTA1 you can check down in comments for for comments from @ariochive or @stockicide. They have posted parts list. You could order from bricklink. I just pulled stuff I have from my collection.
it's a great modification, but to be honest, those landing gears don't realy mean anything 😅
Has anyone assembled a parts list for this? I can ID some of the parts, but for some of them I have no damn idea.
There's one from 4 months ago by @ariochiv
It's the very bottom comment, at least the way it's ordered in my view.
For a company whose motto is "Only the Best is Good Enough" selling a set with only the upper half of a spaceship.... they could have added at least 0.2 USD worth of tiles to smooth it out.
3:00 god do I hate that term and it’s completely arbitrary as to what is and isn’t.
@@permeus2nd 🤣🤣
lego is a building system not a display system. these days every body rants at lego products. adults complain about stickers and other stuff.
first of all we are talking about toys for kids. kids like to craft new stuff they want a special piece and they can't use it because it's a printed tile.
of courese i don't like stickers but how about warhammer? you need to paint them. how about scale modelling? you need to paint them and put some waterslide decal paper stickers to it.
so tell me what is the problem?
I don’t like the illegal building techniques
Please don't report me to the authorities 🤣
I made a list of the parts as best as I could tell.

Unfortunately that last assembly is difficult to see so I'm still probably missing some pieces.
Wow, you put a lot of work into that. I'm sure people will appreciate it.
The dark grey antenna is a screwdriver piece. Older design, not the current mold for screwdrivers.
I'm not sure what the goblet thing is you note in light grey. Part of the antennas under the wings? If so, those are telescopes, #64644
@@ericlandreneau5855 Screwdriver and telescope, thanks.
