Shoutout to whoever designed the UFO aliens. Not only are their helmets pretty reminiscent of the Predator helmet from the film, but the Alien leader's face print has mandibles and also shows very clear Predator inspirations. The UFO minifigures are iconic. I think the actual sets suffer just a bit because of those huge dish pieces, and the somewhat plain color scheme with so much gray. But the figures can't be beat, they're awesome.
The new city aliens were definitely a surprise but I like them. They’re unexpectedly inhuman and simple in design and really cute and friendly which is a nice change of pace from most of the other aliens.
I agree! I was surprised to find that most all LEGO aliens were highly intelligent humanoids. Glad these new ones bring something different to the table!
Not the video I was expecting, but I remember having the Alien Conquest tripod set nearly a decade ago, and seeing all these aliens was like a blast to the past!
Galaxy Squad was my early childhood, I have so much nostalgia for that Lego theme. My dad and I even made a stop motion of one of the sets building itself. 🤩
One of my favorite memes is "You either die a specialty theme, or live long enough to see yourself become LEGO City." It truly is weird to see City just completely take over Space, but when you have Star Wars, Icons' licensed stuff, and Blue Cats sets, plus all of Ninjago's Mechs, it makes sense that a specific Space theme doesn't exist on its own. Dreamzzz also kind of carves up some of that Space pie with Z-Blob builds and Mr. Oz with all his science stuff, but Space has kind of generally meant Sci-Fi in the LEGO community, and there's plenty of it in LEGO, just not a dedicated theme. City's really the only thing remaining that's an original pillar of LEGO if you look at Town, Space, Castle, and Pirates, and while I'm not complaining about some gap years, City kind of taking over other themes is always weird when to me it should really just be real life stuff, not even near future like from a few years ago, and a bit of what's being done here. But I don't know anything about marketing, so whatever, still cool to see some neat Space stuff coming from LEGO.
I suppose when you look at that way, we've never really been hurting for space. I suppose that's how LEGO justifies no Castle theme either - there's HP for that.
1: you’re right about space in that way. City eating it up meant to me that Lego City is a city-state which is running these missions. Also: in no way does Lego HP justify the lack of Castle!
7:47 The backstory for the origin of the galaxy squad aliens was mentioned in one of the Lego magazines as a result of Lord Vampyre’s moonstone beam from Lego Monster Fighters malfunctioning and summoning the aliens.
I was lucky enough to have the two largest U.F.O sets, and they are to this day some of my favorites LEGO ever made. I don’t understand why this theme is so overlooked by the community in general, that regard it as a spin-off of classic space. The figures alone were waaay ahead of their time. Thank you for including them in this video!
I'm always so impressed when looking up the UFO sets too. The designers got so creative with those big panels pieces! And then of course the aliens themselves are just perfect.
As an adult I really dig the "serious" themes (UFO, insectoids, mars mission) over the more cartoonish ones which are probably great for younger audiences.
@@CheeseyStudiosI think Lego has fallen to the extremes of those. Too many extremely mundane series without the hint of fantasy or fictional elements. And, extremely childish themes with extremely ridiculous characters and builds with no truly cohesive story. I miss when when Lego had a good balance of seriousness and originality in singular themes such as Bionicle, Hero Factory, Fantasy Castle, Aqua Raiders, Space Police, Mars Mission, Alpha Team, etc.
I got my hands on a huge amount of the space police 3 alians. All those head molds are great. I actually think alian conquest and galixy squad wer kinda like alians and insectoids cause they had simaler molds and the second theme had insect and bug alians. It was kinda a reboot of the oldercthemes.
I know it's not a 'set', but Idea Book 6000 had the brick heads. That's possibly the earliest version of LEGO officially publishing something with ideas on how to make aliens with LEGO.
I was immediately thinking this! I checked mine, it's from 1979. And it has a complete alien civilization/space town with monorail built from the old blue train tracks and everything :D
Clicked on this video so fast! Haha, love seeing LEGO Space represented out there. 😊 Your Insectoids "Planetary Prowler" video was probably the first one I ever saw of yours, so it was cool to see that one again! That was my first big Insectoids set and it really opened my eyes to a theme I had otherwise overlooked. I'm getting pretty close now to owning every single Space set that released between 1990 and 1999, by the way! Insectoids is posing to be the last real hurdle... so many small sets and minifigure variants! 🙃
That's an impressive collection! Such a great time for LEGO space too. I thought I had a pretty healthy collection of Insectoids figures myself, until I started researching for this video. I had no idea a few had leg printing as well! I've definitely gotta get my hands on one of those at some point.
This video has so much nostalgia, but 6:45 might be the biggest--I have never wanted a minifigure from a series more, and remember hunting at a Legoland in Orlando to make sure she was the one I got. I don't even know why, but I've always thought she's awesome--and still do!
This definitely could just be nostalgia speaking but galaxy squad was an absolute gem of a theme, so many great builds and play features, definitely recommend picking up a few of the sets if you get a chance
The insectoid builds were absolutely awesome, with great parts. I also like the design of the spacemen. The aliens themselves though, not a big deal to me.
I also missed Galaxy Squad. My Dark Ages happened right around Space Police, but I managed to snag a set with the four-armed guy, whom I still have and love. I hope they continue to do space sets throughout this year with the cross-theme branding-some new aliens would be dope!!!
As someone who grew up at the age of the space themed Lego sets from the early 90s I am so happy that. Lego City has introduced space theme sets once more, and included now all these alien sets, even though they're very kid friendly compared to the design. we got in the early 90s. the kid inside me is just so happy to see them trying to tap into what they were well known back then without using the Star Wars title / brand.
The "alien queen" from Alien Conquest is not the alien queen, they are the commander named Hypaxxus-8 The Alien Villianess figure you showed I'm pretty sure is implied to be the queen (a few CMFs had descriptions on lego's website and her's mentions being the ruler of an empire) Also the whole "different names in different regions" thing led to one Insectoids character having an unfortunate name here in the US
@@CheeseyStudios The US name in question is Gypsy Moth, sharing her name with a real world species of moth. In the 1990s, it was just an innocent name that easily evokes both the Zotaxians' nomadic nature and their insectoid vehicles. But nowadays, there's been strong backlash against the word "gypsy", so there's a growing contingent of LEGO fans who would prefer that we use the character's original Danish name, Navigator Sharp.
Great video! Even though there were no official aliens in sets until the 1990s (and Lego infamously shut down the idea of Seatron as an alien-based theme), you could still find them in the early days of the themes! Lego Idea book (6000) from 1980 showcases the story of two minifigures visiting all three core themes (Town, Castle and Space) and in the Space segment they encounter aliens! They're all brick-built, mostly by using various elements as heads instead of a regular figure head, but still. I had that book as a kid and it was enormously influential on me in getting me to invent my own builds. Another early official Lego product that features aliens is the two-part comic book series "Jim Spaceborn" written and drawn by danish cartoonist Frank Madsen. The two stories came out between 1984 and 1987 depending on what country you lived in and featured a group of classic Lego astronauts tossed across the galaxy, Voyager-style. And of course they encounter lots of aliens, though in these comics the aliens are sometimes depicted as not being made from bricks, which bummed me out as a kid.
I really liked this video! The RUclips premiere music in the background was a nice touch. I always love Lego’s original space themes & this City wave just feels like a Space theme in disguise so it sells well. Personally, my favorites are the themes I grew up with, Space Police 3 with all the crazy aliens & Galaxy Squad which is the only Lego theme I own 100% of the sets from. The mosquitoids are probably so expensive because the antennas which I noticed were absent from the group shot at 7:34 were so easy to lose. I know I definitely lost a few as a kid. I might have to pick up some of those other aliens I wasn’t around for like the Zotaxians or Mars Mission Alien Commander because those look really cool.
The antenna story is kind of funny - I bought the Mosquitoid off Bricklink, but the seller noticed he had lost the antenna, so he gave me the rest of the figure for free! I've since bought one with antenna though, and I'm very fond of it. :)
@@CheeseyStudios Nice! Free stuff is always the best. I remember I got the $40 Star Wars Commander Gree minifigure for free from my younger brother who’s not interested in Lego anymore. What a steal!
Absolutely LOVED galaxy squad, got a few of the sets one christmas and they are some of my favourites. Lego aliens in general are all so cool, really wish we could see more of them more often
You wanna know what alien I'd like to see more of in LEGO? Symbiotes. We need more LEGO Symbiotes. We have Venom & Carnage, sure, and a bunch of Venomized characters, and even Pork Grind if you count him, but we don't have other Symbiotes like Riot, Scream, Lasher, Phage, Agony, Sleeper, Anti-Venom, Toxin, Scorn, Raze, Mania, Mayhem and a bunch of others that LEGO probably hasn't even *thought* of! 4:44 Hold up, I HAD ONE OF THOSE GUYS!!
@@CheeseyStudios yea I used to love it as a kid, pretty simple RTS but it was still fun, a remake that like fleshed out the gameplay and had some custom unit/base maker tool to further embrace the whole Lego aspect would be excellent. 💪
Alien conquest is my favourite, nostalgia is a big factor but i have always adored robot guys and the robot alien was just the coolest thing 6yr old me had ever seen
That Insectoids commercial in 2:18 stuck with me ever since LEGO put it as a complimentary video on MyLEGONetwork (gold star if you remember that site). Having some kid get instant insect armor or whatever was going on here was a rather gripping visual to pair with a theme where the aliens that time around were still rather human/minifig looking all things considered. The Martians remain my favorite too, and I'm all for advocating that eventually LEGO redesigns the figures in someway to reintroduce them. It does go against the last few space-exploration waves treating Mars more "realistically" but I feel like its worth defying that to bring these guys back.
@@CheeseyStudios Lego could improve Insiders a lot by providing swag harkening back to the OG Lego club members that remember getting membership cards from 1999, then the 2 generations of Club pages, then MLN
Comparing apples to oranges but I love seeing the progression of how Mega made molds for different Covenant species and Flood victims. Grunts used to be tiny, but now they’re roughly the right size to canon funny enough. New Flood sets can be properly disgusting. The Halo Heroes Keyes figure, when cold, has an absolutely disgusting texture on the Flood bits. Really makes you think one single Flood spore could destroy a species…
@@CheeseyStudiosI’d definitely recommend talking to some of the big figures in the Halo Mega community, The Domain and Demarcation Media come to mind first and foremost.
I love the new space sets and like you say they really hearken back to a lot of different space themes. I hope Lego keeps pushing the boundary with the new city space theme and builds upon the cooperative space exploration we saw with life on mars in the past with these new aliens :3
@@CheeseyStudios yeah it was! I hope they continue to develop the theme and make the aliens more present, maybe in a second wave even 😳 although maybe I'm getting ahead of myself a bit lol, it just kinda feels like Lego is building to something here. Maybe I'm being too optimistic but it seems like they could start a whole new space theme here. Combining some of cities space port sets with this new wave, and then expanding upon it with some more classical inspired space exploration and we could have Lego Space 2!! ヽ(｡◕o◕｡)ﾉ.
I like how friendly these new aliens look. I actually prefer it that way. I didn't have any Life on Mars set, but I knew them through a videogame, LEGO Racers 2. It has 5 racing worlds, and Mars was one of them. I love how the boss, Riegel, didn't drive a car or a little speeder/spaceship, but a MECH. It towered any vehicle so far XD XD My favorite world was DinoIsland, though, and its boss was Sam Sanister (Yes, Sanister, no Sinister)/Baron von Barron. Fun times n_n
@@CheeseyStudios Both LEGO Racers games are my only connection to the original series. If you can get them both, do it. Memorable tracks and characters, one rival and cup champ being one of the tech-droids you covered here. Very good games for younger audiences.
favourite Lego aliens to me is the insectoids, i dont think i ever got more than 2 sets from the line, but their helmets are some of the best ever made for a space theme imo
There’s a bit of lore for insectoids where it’s stated the energy fired at the moon from the monster hunter crystals actually caught their attention brining them to earth’s moon. Basically picture a moth drawn to a light.
I love these videos about exploring the old sets. I remember playing with pieces of the first 2 sets. They were all mixed up with other Legos in some big boxes from my older sibling. I was pretty young and often asked myself what these pieces where used for. Recognizing these pieces really brings me back. Thanks
5:51 there's also Brick Daddy, who is the leader of all the criminals, hes got a dope purple suit and hat, as well as a glow in the dark head. his space limo is prolly my favourite set of the theme
My favorites are clearly the 1997-1998 UFO and Insectoids. The shoulder armor is great, the bubble head dome from insectoids as well, but the UFO helms are the best (also their heards and prints - back then that was such a rare occasion to have that many good prints - and each came with at least 4-5 different torsos - these days, they can't even be bothered to recolor the base torso a bit for the 3 different colors of space figs - love the new theme, but this seems like a small cost cut that need not be there).
Seeing these old space themes makes me wish I had been collecting Lego back then, unfortunately most of them are older than me!😂 But the original themes, characters and lore are really cool and unique!
So awesome to see some custom built terrain to showcase this little piece of LEGO history. Nostalgia has me saying Life on Mars has the best aliens, but then objectively I think I'd go with Galaxy Squad. Then again, the only aliens I ever had in my collection are UFO (though only the androids) Life on Mars, Star Wars, Mars Mission and Galaxy Squad, so not the most complete experience to rely on!
The Life on Mars figures are some of my favorite figures EVER. Rigel was the best, and I loved pitting them against each other. Wish you went a little more into them here (or another video?).
omg when I was a kid I actually had that first set shown for Galaxy Squad ! I remember scrapping the parts and making my own cartoon UFO MOC that I still have today. underrated theme imo. The insect "vehicles" were super cool and original, shame it only got one wave.
Oh man I still have a few sets of Zotaxians. I remember the piece that was thermochromic and when touched would show an image, My favourite lego piece of all time
Insectoids and especially Life On Mars were my jam as a kid, and I really do love that they emphasized a peaceful meeting of societies with the latter. I have plenty of respect for subsequent stuff as sets and I know other people would have grown up with those, but I'll admit their narrative framing always rubbed me the wrong way in comparison. So that this new CitySpace theme seems to be going back to a more optimistic take on first contact is really nice to see ^.^ That being said, I really love the first UFO designs as an inventive and imposing take on a villainous alien faction, and that helmet design remains a favorite of mine to this day, and it's cool to see how that design language carried on into Insectoids. I think Life On Mars will always be my favorite for the sheer variety on display, but honestly all of these are pretty darn cool in their own right.
My favorite thing about Rench from Space Police 3 is the uniform - he's a member of the Blacktron Gang! I really want to amass an amount of different figure parts with Blacktron prints so I can put together a a colorful little gang of them, the abundance of references Blacktron gets in other themes is great for that.
I grew up with a few sets of those first 3 alien series but grew out of Lego not long after. I remember being disappointed once I got the 2nd series aliens in-hand because I thought their clear green helmets would be a similar elongated shape to the cool helmets of the series 1 aliens.
I love these types of videos so much, it brings back so much memories from my childhood. Sets and minifigures I remember having as a kid. I remember having a figure from the UFO serie. That armor piece, especially the black one from the alpha team was the sign in my mocs that that figure wearing the armor was the ultimate villain lol
I absolutely adored Mars Mission when I was a kid. Another thing that's changed in Lego is something that they've pretty much stopped doing is "army vs. army" themes, which 2007 Castle, Mars Mission, and Alien Conquest were. Nowadays everything has to be about a small cast of characters, and it's honestly sorta boring.. Mars Mission always had a bit of a horror element to me, not in-your-face or overly spoopy, but remember that trailer of the astronaut running? Followed by "something's out there..", then the flash games, where you were running from something, and if you failed too many times it was implied you were eaten? Not to mention the AWESOME flash RTS that was crystalien conflict. To me, as a child who grew up playing RTS games, it felt like Lego's version of Starcraft just with a much more clean aesthetic and not a scrappy "rugged" look. We weren’t attached to any one group of characters and each set was like a battle pack with varying vehicles and scenes for either faction with the story told through details in the sets. Lego seems afraid to have real "battle" themes now, everything has to be attached to a small group of characters rather then a whole faction and it's a bit disappointing. I know themes with main characters are much easier to get attached to, but to me I enjoyed how some themes had "blank slates", it let you make up your own story for these characters which imo let you be even more creative. Also the designs for the aliens are just so awesome, the fact that they glow in the dark is so cool!
I remember UFO and Insectoids. As a kid, I saved up the pocket money I earned through chores, to get the 6979 Interstellar Starfighter. I still think they're pretty cool now, especially the "fibre optic" lighting they had, which looked amazing in the dark.
I'm betting this new space line was supposed to be its own theme, but they probably weren't confident in that given how short every other space theme lasts. So they probably threw it into City to ensure longevity. After all, City, Star Wars, Marvel, and Ninjago refuse to die.
I really want an Area 51 styled set or something that celebrates LEGOs vast history of Aliens, like having one or two of all of them in one set, along with scientists and MIB minifigs and such. Even a crashed UFO being examined, in the style or near the style of the first UFO sets would be awesome! I doubt they would do it, sadly, but I would love to buy a set like that. Another cool idea, maybe sets that pretend to be normal LEGO City sets but are actually aliens hiding in plain sight, ala Invader Zim, maybe in a classic 1950s style! The aliens could be like either a double sided mkngig head, one side "human" the other alien, or like alien head masks you can swap out on the heads. There's just something about this UFO alien themes that I feel could be have become awesome and fun! (I guess many would consider aliens and UFOs creepy, but I grew up with many, MANY horror ideas as normal, so I find it cool, or something?)
Lego aliens appeared back in the 80s. They featured in a Lego annual where they had inverted arms and 3 by 1 blocks as head, with a two by one placed in the middle.
I think my favourite Lego alien is the exclusive inverted colours Buggoid from Galaxy Squad’s Star Slicer. Normal Buggoids are pretty cool already, but seeing one with the colour scheme swapped is even cooler! There’s one slight error in the video, the tentacle legged alien from Alien Conquest is not a queen - he’s a military commander, Hypaxxus-8 to be exact
I saw a new lego minifigures space series that includes a new blue alien buggoid figure. It looks amazing. Could probably use it as a special rank or leader of the buggoids
@@Mr_G_Daddy I’ve seen that! The torso printing looks spot on to the old buggoids. I’ve always seen the inverted Buggoid as some kind of brute version. Size differences can’t be represented that well with minifigures, but I like to imagine he’d be a lot bigger and bulkier than his standard Buggoid counterparts. The new blue one looks like he’d be even bigger, though maybe not as much of a tank. Perhaps special forces?
@@CosmicMaddness yes. It would be cool if it was some sort of night vision apex hunter like the predator or maybe a mutated scorpion type which could be called a scorpioid.
my favorite aliens where always from the alien conquest sets, I NEEDED those sets back in the day, unfortunately my family back then was not interested in buying 300 dollars worth of legos for every christmas, the vibrant greens and the cartoony color coded feel of the sets made my little baby brain go crazy
I used to always use the original aliens helmets for pilots in space fighter plan type things. My dad bought me the big one that would detach. Was so cool.
Ah I just love the space police aliens. And that is so much nostaliga talking. I use to try and collect the sets so I could get all of them. It was such a fun theme I miss dearly
I really wish I had been into it while it was around. The aliens from that theme are so awesome! I've enjoyed picking up the sets as an adult though too.
Such a fun video! A lovely look all the amazing aliens of lego’s past LoM martians have got to be my favourite just because of how fun and original it is. Great video I love so many of these aliens great video, gotta be one of my favourites ❤❤
I like em all. I think using any of them as background characters in my StarWars mocs help with not only some much needed population diversity but also help keep any scene, with an otherwise serious tone,a lil more playfull
Life on Mars has a top spot for my all time favorite themes. While I never had a Lego city as so many have I used the Aero Tube Hanger with some extra tube and a monorail set to build the Martian capital city.
Really awesome seeing all of these figures I could add to my own collection someday. How did you make the Alien Queen from LEGO Battles, though? I've never been able to find a moc or figure it out myself with my Alien Commander figure.
Galaxy squad had easily some of the best mech and ship designs I’ve seen out of Lego to this day. The simple but bold color pallet with three factions all united in design by white looked super clean. It also had an overall bulky esthetic that nicely separated it from anything else I’ve seen, maybe except for the Rex fist ship from the second Lego movie.
Shoutout to whoever designed the UFO aliens. Not only are their helmets pretty reminiscent of the Predator helmet from the film, but the Alien leader's face print has mandibles and also shows very clear Predator inspirations. The UFO minifigures are iconic. I think the actual sets suffer just a bit because of those huge dish pieces, and the somewhat plain color scheme with so much gray. But the figures can't be beat, they're awesome.
It's insane how well they hold up all these years later. They went all out!
The insectoids had the cool light up stinger too. And IIRC it might have made sound too? Very cool era for space Lego.
I gotta say i miss Lego System and City a lot.
For some reason the helmet piece reminds me of the helmets the alien soldiers (idk what they're actually called) from Stargate
@@DerpleDude... they don't look like the Jaffa to me at all.
Love this style of video, makes me want to dig out my old alien conquest figures, always loved the way those head pieces come together
Alien Conquest had such fun figs. Love me some goofy villains!
Same, It takes me back in time
The new city aliens were definitely a surprise but I like them. They’re unexpectedly inhuman and simple in design and really cute and friendly which is a nice change of pace from most of the other aliens.

True! Imagined if they appear in the 3rd The Lego Movie (If it were to happen though) Unikitty would likely be all over them! 😊
I love them and want to collect a bunch of them!
Not the video I was expecting, but I remember having the Alien Conquest tripod set nearly a decade ago, and seeing all these aliens was like a blast to the past!
Alien Conquest was such a fun theme. I really hope I can do a Revisiting video on it at some point!
I had the tripod set too!!!
I also, had the tripod set. I swear if I had all the pieces I could reassemble the whole thing in one hour just off memory
Galaxy Squad was my early childhood, I have so much nostalgia for that Lego theme. My dad and I even made a stop motion of one of the sets building itself. 🤩

The Alien Villianess figure you showed I'm pretty sure is implied to be the queen (a few CMFs had descriptions on lego's website and her's mentions being the ruler of an empire)
Also the whole "different names in different regions" thing led to one Insectoids character having an unfortunate name here in the US
That makes sense! Scared to look up the Insectoids name lol
@@CheeseyStudios The US name in question is Gypsy Moth, sharing her name with a real world species of moth. In the 1990s, it was just an innocent name that easily evokes both the Zotaxians' nomadic nature and their insectoid vehicles. But nowadays, there's been strong backlash against the word "gypsy", so there's a growing contingent of LEGO fans who would prefer that we use the character's original Danish name, Navigator Sharp.
This video plays like a Lego Rewind episode and I absolutely loved it. Great trip down memory lane.
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed. I had a blast putting this one together.
I love the "adorable goofy-looking guys" in the background nonchalantly bouncing around😆😆😆
Great video!
Even though there were no official aliens in sets until the 1990s (and Lego infamously shut down the idea of Seatron as an alien-based theme), you could still find them in the early days of the themes!
Lego Idea book (6000) from 1980 showcases the story of two minifigures visiting all three core themes (Town, Castle and Space) and in the Space segment they encounter aliens! They're all brick-built, mostly by using various elements as heads instead of a regular figure head, but still. I had that book as a kid and it was enormously influential on me in getting me to invent my own builds.
Another early official Lego product that features aliens is the two-part comic book series "Jim Spaceborn" written and drawn by danish cartoonist Frank Madsen. The two stories came out between 1984 and 1987 depending on what country you lived in and featured a group of classic Lego astronauts tossed across the galaxy, Voyager-style. And of course they encounter lots of aliens, though in these comics the aliens are sometimes depicted as not being made from bricks, which bummed me out as a kid.
I'll definitely have to check those out! I bet there's all sorts of gems in those early books and comics.
@@CheeseyStudios Let me know if you need to know more.
Space Police is just unmatched for me. One of my very favorite themes.
It really is so much fun. I've been starting to collect a few sets this past year!
I love your approach to making videos with the sets you get from LAN, better than boring reviews.
I'm glad you appreciate these too! I figure if someone wants a review, they can go check out the gazillion other reviews already out there lol
Space Police was such a great line! I used to use the aliens to fill out my Star Wars builds
That's a great use for them! Love how colorful and varied they are.
I really liked this video! The RUclips premiere music in the background was a nice touch. I always love Lego’s original space themes & this City wave just feels like a Space theme in disguise so it sells well. Personally, my favorites are the themes I grew up with, Space Police 3 with all the crazy aliens & Galaxy Squad which is the only Lego theme I own 100% of the sets from. The mosquitoids are probably so expensive because the antennas which I noticed were absent from the group shot at 7:34 were so easy to lose. I know I definitely lost a few as a kid. I might have to pick up some of those other aliens I wasn’t around for like the Zotaxians or Mars Mission Alien Commander because those look really cool.
The antenna story is kind of funny - I bought the Mosquitoid off Bricklink, but the seller noticed he had lost the antenna, so he gave me the rest of the figure for free! I've since bought one with antenna though, and I'm very fond of it. :)
@@CheeseyStudios Nice! Free stuff is always the best. I remember I got the $40 Star Wars Commander Gree minifigure for free from my younger brother who’s not interested in Lego anymore. What a steal!
Absolutely LOVED galaxy squad, got a few of the sets one christmas and they are some of my favourites. Lego aliens in general are all so cool, really wish we could see more of them more often
I can't think of a LEGO alien I dislike! They've always been really neat
You wanna know what alien I'd like to see more of in LEGO?
Symbiotes. We need more LEGO Symbiotes. We have Venom & Carnage, sure, and a bunch of Venomized characters, and even Pork Grind if you count him, but we don't have other Symbiotes like Riot, Scream, Lasher, Phage, Agony, Sleeper, Anti-Venom, Toxin, Scorn, Raze, Mania, Mayhem and a bunch of others that LEGO probably hasn't even *thought* of!
4:44 Hold up, I HAD ONE OF THOSE GUYS!!
The alien commanders are so dope 👌
Shout-out to Lego battles on the DS, one of the RTS games of all time and definitely deserves a remake 🫡
I've honestly heard a lot of good things about it!
@@CheeseyStudios yea I used to love it as a kid, pretty simple RTS but it was still fun, a remake that like fleshed out the gameplay and had some custom unit/base maker tool to further embrace the whole Lego aspect would be excellent. 💪
The current space panthematic "event" is wild, I'm very curious where this goes and if we get others in the future.
Castle year when amirite
@@CheeseyStudios bro, lego technic trebuchet + Knight's kingdom city ver
@@CheeseyStudios dude give me my submarine year. Atlantis fans gasping.
Alien conquest is my favourite, nostalgia is a big factor but i have always adored robot guys and the robot alien was just the coolest thing 6yr old me had ever seen
That was a great theme. Hoping to do a full-on Revisit of it at some point!
2:05 You thought we wouldn't notice the background, but we did
lol that was very fun to make
I like how you make reviews and put twists on it :D really refreshing
They may be one of simplest designs, but I simply adore those new silly little guys
I can totally respect that! It's nice to have aliens that aren't minifigures for once
That Insectoids commercial in 2:18 stuck with me ever since LEGO put it as a complimentary video on MyLEGONetwork (gold star if you remember that site). Having some kid get instant insect armor or whatever was going on here was a rather gripping visual to pair with a theme where the aliens that time around were still rather human/minifig looking all things considered.
The Martians remain my favorite too, and I'm all for advocating that eventually LEGO redesigns the figures in someway to reintroduce them. It does go against the last few space-exploration waves treating Mars more "realistically" but I feel like its worth defying that to bring these guys back.
MLN 😭 Oh how I miss it
@@CheeseyStudios Lego could improve Insiders a lot by providing swag harkening back to the OG Lego club members that remember getting membership cards from 1999, then the 2 generations of Club pages, then MLN
Comparing apples to oranges but I love seeing the progression of how Mega made molds for different Covenant species and Flood victims. Grunts used to be tiny, but now they’re roughly the right size to canon funny enough. New Flood sets can be properly disgusting. The Halo Heroes Keyes figure, when cold, has an absolutely disgusting texture on the Flood bits. Really makes you think one single Flood spore could destroy a species…
Might honestly have to take a look at those!
@@CheeseyStudiosI’d definitely recommend talking to some of the big figures in the Halo Mega community, The Domain and Demarcation Media come to mind first and foremost.
I love the new space sets and like you say they really hearken back to a lot of different space themes. I hope Lego keeps pushing the boundary with the new city space theme and builds upon the cooperative space exploration we saw with life on mars in the past with these new aliens :3
I hope we get more of these sets too! This first wave was really great
@@CheeseyStudios yeah it was! I hope they continue to develop the theme and make the aliens more present, maybe in a second wave even 😳 although maybe I'm getting ahead of myself a bit lol, it just kinda feels like Lego is building to something here.
Maybe I'm being too optimistic but it seems like they could start a whole new space theme here. Combining some of cities space port sets with this new wave, and then expanding upon it with some more classical inspired space exploration and we could have Lego Space 2!! ヽ(｡◕o◕｡)ﾉ.
I like how friendly these new aliens look. I actually prefer it that way.
I didn't have any Life on Mars set, but I knew them through a videogame, LEGO Racers 2. It has 5 racing worlds, and Mars was one of them. I love how the boss, Riegel, didn't drive a car or a little speeder/spaceship, but a MECH. It towered any vehicle so far XD XD My favorite world was DinoIsland, though, and its boss was Sam Sanister (Yes, Sanister, no Sinister)/Baron von Barron. Fun times n_n
I gotta learn more about this game! Everyone always has such good things to say about it
@@CheeseyStudios Both LEGO Racers games are my only connection to the original series. If you can get them both, do it. Memorable tracks and characters, one rival and cup champ being one of the tech-droids you covered here. Very good games for younger audiences.
@@CheeseyStudios Not only learn, but if possible, play it!
favourite Lego aliens to me is the insectoids, i dont think i ever got more than 2 sets from the line, but their helmets are some of the best ever made for a space theme imo
Love that trans-neon green color
The sad part is that non of these Aliens look like my species. Humans can never seem to get our appearance right.
This is so sad :c
I’m glad Lego had such a vibrant variety of aliens
Makes me glad to call this planet home
Indeed. Love the variety!
Yoooo the lego battles mention! Awesome! I love that game! Love how comprehensive your stuff always is!!
Thank you! I do really enjoy researching for videos like this - I always learn some new stuff too!
There’s a bit of lore for insectoids where it’s stated the energy fired at the moon from the monster hunter crystals actually caught their attention brining them to earth’s moon. Basically picture a moth drawn to a light.
Oh yeah, for the Galaxy Squad Buggoids! Someone else had mentioned that too. A wacky story, but I like it
Really loved those U.F.O. helmets and armor, didn't realize they were actually the first Lego alien theme so that makes them even more impressive
I was blown away by that too! They really got it right on the first try
My favorite theme. Made my own story for them.
This lead me on a mission to re-find my favorite lego set as a kid, it was the Hydro Reef Wrecker from Aquazone
Aquazone had so many great sets!
UFO and Alien Conquest are great themes. So much unrealized potential.
For sure. It's too bad they were so short loved
I love these videos about exploring the old sets. I remember playing with pieces of the first 2 sets. They were all mixed up with other Legos in some big boxes from my older sibling. I was pretty young and often asked myself what these pieces where used for. Recognizing these pieces really brings me back.
Thanks
Glad I could take you down memory lane! That's definitely one of the reasons I enjoy making videos like this - takes me back, too.
5:51 there's also Brick Daddy, who is the leader of all the criminals, hes got a dope purple suit and hat, as well as a glow in the dark head. his space limo is prolly my favourite set of the theme
I wanted to buy him so bad, but he is priceyyy D,:
My favorites are clearly the 1997-1998 UFO and Insectoids. The shoulder armor is great, the bubble head dome from insectoids as well, but the UFO helms are the best (also their heards and prints - back then that was such a rare occasion to have that many good prints - and each came with at least 4-5 different torsos - these days, they can't even be bothered to recolor the base torso a bit for the 3 different colors of space figs - love the new theme, but this seems like a small cost cut that need not be there).
Sometimes you can't beat the classics. The special pieces they made were so awesome!
Seeing these old space themes makes me wish I had been collecting Lego back then, unfortunately most of them are older than me!😂 But the original themes, characters and lore are really cool and unique!
LEGO's in-house themes are so great. I really do miss them! There was just so much unfettered creativity.
So awesome to see some custom built terrain to showcase this little piece of LEGO history.
Nostalgia has me saying Life on Mars has the best aliens, but then objectively I think I'd go with Galaxy Squad. Then again, the only aliens I ever had in my collection are UFO (though only the androids) Life on Mars, Star Wars, Mars Mission and Galaxy Squad, so not the most complete experience to rely on!
Hang on. Does Marvel count with the Guardian of the Galaxy and Thanos' army? And DC's Supergirl and Eclipso? What about the merfolk from Atlantis?
Yeah, there's a lot more when it comes to IP themes!
Zotaxian are among my favorite lego figures. I love them
They hold up so well honestly!
I still have the complete 6915 ship with figures. The main alien figure included is so darn cool
Those UFO sets are just so cool 👌
My favorite Lego RUclips channel around. Pure class.
Lego had some cool ass moulds back in the day, such a shame a lot of these really cool alien pieces arent made anymore
I do miss their in-house themes a great deal. We just don't get this level of imagination out of licensed stuff.
Alpha Draconis has always been one of my favorite minifigures especially after seeing his helmet in Lego Racers. I just had to have it. 😅
That helmet is so good 👌
The Life on Mars figures are some of my favorite figures EVER. Rigel was the best, and I loved pitting them against each other. Wish you went a little more into them here (or another video?).
This is the video for you :) ruclips.net/video/qUbNzP88r_g/видео.html
omg when I was a kid I actually had that first set shown for Galaxy Squad ! I remember scrapping the parts and making my own cartoon UFO MOC that I still have today. underrated theme imo. The insect "vehicles" were super cool and original, shame it only got one wave.
This thing looks so cool: brickset.com/sets/70708-1/Hive-Crawler I'd love to get some sets at some point
Honestly wish the Lego City space sub theme could be it’s own theme. Love how they are depicting the new aliens not as villains or conquerors of earth
It's a very nice change of pace!
I like the life on mars aliens. A lot of themes are aliens vs humans but its cool to see them collaborating.
Agreed. Such a cool vibe going on with LoM
Oh man I still have a few sets of Zotaxians. I remember the piece that was thermochromic and when touched would show an image, My favourite lego piece of all time
Those stickers are so cool! I was happy to see mine still work all these years later
Insectoids and especially Life On Mars were my jam as a kid, and I really do love that they emphasized a peaceful meeting of societies with the latter. I have plenty of respect for subsequent stuff as sets and I know other people would have grown up with those, but I'll admit their narrative framing always rubbed me the wrong way in comparison. So that this new CitySpace theme seems to be going back to a more optimistic take on first contact is really nice to see ^.^
That being said, I really love the first UFO designs as an inventive and imposing take on a villainous alien faction, and that helmet design remains a favorite of mine to this day, and it's cool to see how that design language carried on into Insectoids.
I think Life On Mars will always be my favorite for the sheer variety on display, but honestly all of these are pretty darn cool in their own right.
Life on Mars is so good, unique in so many ways. Just glad it exists!
Galaxy Squad is underrated in my opinion. Love those sets and minifigures
After researching the sets and figs for this video, I'm inclined to agree!
My favorite thing about Rench from Space Police 3 is the uniform - he's a member of the Blacktron Gang! I really want to amass an amount of different figure parts with Blacktron prints so I can put together a a colorful little gang of them, the abundance of references Blacktron gets in other themes is great for that.
I saw that! So so cool! I'm really glad I ended up buying him for this video.
I grew up with a few sets of those first 3 alien series but grew out of Lego not long after. I remember being disappointed once I got the 2nd series aliens in-hand because I thought their clear green helmets would be a similar elongated shape to the cool helmets of the series 1 aliens.
Can't beat the original UFO helmets. Those are just incredible!
I love these types of videos so much, it brings back so much memories from my childhood. Sets and minifigures I remember having as a kid. I remember having a figure from the UFO serie. That armor piece, especially the black one from the alpha team was the sign in my mocs that that figure wearing the armor was the ultimate villain lol
Yes! That armor piece was repurposed for all my big bad villains back in the day lol
I don’t think Lego will ever quite recapture the cool factor of the UFO Zotaxians. They’re definitely my favorite minifigures that Lego has ever made
I have to agree. They're so awesome
Alpha draconis was also a npc driver against you in the Lego racers game from 1999
Ha! That's awesome. What didn't LEGO Racers have honestly lol
The Lego UFO aliens still have some of the best helmets in LEGO history, and shoulder pads.
100%. So good! They definitely hold up.
I absolutely adored Mars Mission when I was a kid. Another thing that's changed in Lego is something that they've pretty much stopped doing is "army vs. army" themes, which 2007 Castle, Mars Mission, and Alien Conquest were. Nowadays everything has to be about a small cast of characters, and it's honestly sorta boring..
Mars Mission always had a bit of a horror element to me, not in-your-face or overly spoopy, but remember that trailer of the astronaut running? Followed by "something's out there..", then the flash games, where you were running from something, and if you failed too many times it was implied you were eaten? Not to mention the AWESOME flash RTS that was crystalien conflict. To me, as a child who grew up playing RTS games, it felt like Lego's version of Starcraft just with a much more clean aesthetic and not a scrappy "rugged" look. We weren’t attached to any one group of characters and each set was like a battle pack with varying vehicles and scenes for either faction with the story told through details in the sets.
Lego seems afraid to have real "battle" themes now, everything has to be attached to a small group of characters rather then a whole faction and it's a bit disappointing. I know themes with main characters are much easier to get attached to, but to me I enjoyed how some themes had "blank slates", it let you make up your own story for these characters which imo let you be even more creative.
Also the designs for the aliens are just so awesome, the fact that they glow in the dark is so cool!
LEGO definitely doesn't have the same vibes anymore, and I miss that a lot. I do feel the 2000's really were a second golden age for the company.
I grew up with Space Police and Alien Conquest!
Good times… :)
Indeed - great themes for sure! I wish I had been more into Space Police. Looking back the theme had so many amazing ships
I had the first UFO set and loved it. One of my favorites still.
The theme was so cool!
What a fun video! I had no idea there were that many Lego aliens! It was interesting to see them "evolve" over the years!
Glad you enjoyed! I sure learned a lot putting this one together too. LEGO's made some pretty epic alien figures over the years
WOW i had NEVER seen any alien conquest sets or figures. those are SO cool!! phenomenal molds
Well hey, glad I could introduce you! The figs are so much fun. Love that cartoony styling in LEGO.
I had mars mission as a kid, but i remember space police much better, as i was a little older. I always loved Frenzy, and his four arms
He's one of my favorites from Space Police as well 😂
I remember UFO and Insectoids.
As a kid, I saved up the pocket money I earned through chores, to get the 6979 Interstellar Starfighter.
I still think they're pretty cool now, especially the "fibre optic" lighting they had, which looked amazing in the dark.
I feel the sets hold up quite well too, especially the figures!
The small, new ones are so adorable.
They really are. Gotta love that smile, ha!
Cheesey Studios never fails to get me addicted to another Lego theme
lol! I feel like I'm always getting myself addicted to new themes too. It was definitely Space Police this time around 🤣
I'm betting this new space line was supposed to be its own theme, but they probably weren't confident in that given how short every other space theme lasts. So they probably threw it into City to ensure longevity. After all, City, Star Wars, Marvel, and Ninjago refuse to die.
Friends also refused to die LOL, 10 years old and I’m certainly happy it is
It was probably a smart move! If only they could figure out how to bring back Castle under the City banner lolol
6:35 aren't they "Alien General" rather than the queen? I always thought Alien Villainess of collectible minifigs as the queen of them.
Can be whatever you want it to be!
The UFO theme was SO good. I miss having those huge curved pieces on ships. Even the small one was cool. I'd kill for a remake!
It was fun to see how creative the designers got with those big panels!
I really want an Area 51 styled set or something that celebrates LEGOs vast history of Aliens, like having one or two of all of them in one set, along with scientists and MIB minifigs and such. Even a crashed UFO being examined, in the style or near the style of the first UFO sets would be awesome! I doubt they would do it, sadly, but I would love to buy a set like that.
Another cool idea, maybe sets that pretend to be normal LEGO City sets but are actually aliens hiding in plain sight, ala Invader Zim, maybe in a classic 1950s style! The aliens could be like either a double sided mkngig head, one side "human" the other alien, or like alien head masks you can swap out on the heads. There's just something about this UFO alien themes that I feel could be have become awesome and fun!
(I guess many would consider aliens and UFOs creepy, but I grew up with many, MANY horror ideas as normal, so I find it cool, or something?)
Some spookier aliens could be super cool. I do love how UFO gave us a taste of that!
I will cherish my OG alien kits, love that helm and armour
They're some of the best accessories of all time imp
One of my favorite sets as a kid was the “Smash N Grab” Space Police set. One of these days I need to get back to rebuilding it.
That theme had some really cool sets. I'm excited to rebuild mine, too!
Lego aliens appeared back in the 80s. They featured in a Lego annual where they had inverted arms and 3 by 1 blocks as head, with a two by one placed in the middle.
I saw pictures! So fun
I think my favourite Lego alien is the exclusive inverted colours Buggoid from Galaxy Squad’s Star Slicer. Normal Buggoids are pretty cool already, but seeing one with the colour scheme swapped is even cooler!
There’s one slight error in the video, the tentacle legged alien from Alien Conquest is not a queen - he’s a military commander, Hypaxxus-8 to be exact
I saw a new lego minifigures space series that includes a new blue alien buggoid figure. It looks amazing. Could probably use it as a special rank or leader of the buggoids
@@Mr_G_Daddy I’ve seen that! The torso printing looks spot on to the old buggoids.
I’ve always seen the inverted Buggoid as some kind of brute version. Size differences can’t be represented that well with minifigures, but I like to imagine he’d be a lot bigger and bulkier than his standard Buggoid counterparts. The new blue one looks like he’d be even bigger, though maybe not as much of a tank. Perhaps special forces?
@@CosmicMaddness yes. It would be cool if it was some sort of night vision apex hunter like the predator or maybe a mutated scorpion type which could be called a scorpioid.
I hadn't even noticed that, but that torso print from the CMF is so similar! That's awesome. Now I had better pick up that red one too.
my favorite aliens where always from the alien conquest sets, I NEEDED those sets back in the day, unfortunately my family back then was not interested in buying 300 dollars worth of legos for every christmas, the vibrant greens and the cartoony color coded feel of the sets made my little baby brain go crazy
I do love the style. It fits LEGO so well
I grew up with the 97 ones so those ones take my heart.
They are pretty epic 👌
You know, it's not REALLY the same thing, but special mention goes to LEGO Ben 10 Alien Force for technically having aliens.
Those sets are so wild, ha!
I love the new lil City aliens. It feels more like they're friendly wildlife and something to check out.
Yeah! We've never really had aliens anything like this before, so that's cool
Zotax aliens, hands down.
All of the minifigures were just insane from the printing to the helmets and armor.
Crazy to think they're a QUARTER OF A CENTURY old o_O
@@CheeseyStudios Doesn't really feel like it...but yeah =P
I used to always use the original aliens helmets for pilots in space fighter plan type things. My dad bought me the big one that would detach. Was so cool.
There were some really sweet sets from that theme
Ah I just love the space police aliens. And that is so much nostaliga talking. I use to try and collect the sets so I could get all of them. It was such a fun theme I miss dearly
I really wish I had been into it while it was around. The aliens from that theme are so awesome! I've enjoyed picking up the sets as an adult though too.
Such a fun video! A lovely look all the amazing aliens of lego’s past LoM martians have got to be my favourite just because of how fun and original it is. Great video I love so many of these aliens great video, gotta be one of my favourites ❤❤
Thank you! Life on Mars is so awesome. Truly one of kind
I really loved this video! Despite not owning any of the sets mentioned, I have multiple of these aliens! I absolutely love them! This was a treat!
So glad you enjoyed!
I like em all. I think using any of them as background characters in my StarWars mocs help with not only some much needed population diversity but also help keep any scene, with an otherwise serious tone,a lil more playfull
Yeah! That's a great idea honestly
Alien Conquest was so damn amazing. I want a remake of this one
That theme was a ton of fun. Gave us some really cool vehicles too!
I miss the aliens from Alien Invasion and Space Police
I love the designs from both themes, yeah!
Life on Mars has a top spot for my all time favorite themes. While I never had a Lego city as so many have I used the Aero Tube Hanger with some extra tube and a monorail set to build the Martian capital city.
There's never been a theme quite like Life on Mars, and I doubt we'll ever see anything like it again. Definitely one of my top 10's too!
Really awesome seeing all of these figures I could add to my own collection someday. How did you make the Alien Queen from LEGO Battles, though? I've never been able to find a moc or figure it out myself with my Alien Commander figure.
This is the piece that makes it all happen: brickset.com/parts/6018805/parabolic-ring
@@CheeseyStudios Thank you! :)
Galaxy squad had easily some of the best mech and ship designs I’ve seen out of Lego to this day. The simple but bold color pallet with three factions all united in design by white looked super clean. It also had an overall bulky esthetic that nicely separated it from anything else I’ve seen, maybe except for the Rex fist ship from the second Lego movie.
I've gotta get my hands on some sets at some point. I completely missed out on the theme 😭
