SO glad Lego is developing original Space sets again. I feel like the fading of Star Wars has allowed breathing room for LEGO to give their own Space sets another shot.
@@alexnunes They're putting feelers out there for sure! They've been tossing a few out for AFOLs and I'm sure the bean counters are looking at sales data.
Imagine having a wife that lets you buy all the Lego you want, AND co-hosts a RUclips channel where you talk about Lego, AND dresses up in Star Trek uniforms with you to present. This guy won at life
I couldn't resist and ended up picking up the entire new City Space line today. So far I'm having a blast as these sets remind me of the old Space lines I grew up with as well as another toy line I had as a kid, Starcom. Not to be that guy though, but I noticed you're actually missing a set from this line. Not counting the Space crossover with the other lines like Dreamzzz, Friends, or Technic there's a small hoverbike set with a blue pilot that comes in a polybag. So I think that's 23 minifigs in total.
Prices seem pretty reasonable for a mostly original theme with some new aspects. Looking forward to getting em all! I can’t wait to add them to the last space sets and see how they all integrate and look together.
I think these sets look great. I am a long-time classic space collector who collects his childhood. I think this is great new fresh take on space. I can see kids of the appropriate age for these sets really having a good time with them. When I first saw "LEAKED" pics I said nope, but after watching you guys, and thinking about who these are for I actually gave them a chance. I will probably get them all. 😂
So my review worked? lol. Thanks! I actually felt the same way. I was pleasantly surprised as I built them. Glad to see LEGO making an effort. Now I just need them to go all in on Castle and Pirates.
Y'alls reviews are so incredibly enjoyable to watch. Small snippets of humor like the "there you have it folks" immediately after Mindy shares her different opinion about the alien builds are hilarious and so informative at the same time. You two have great energy doing reviews together and your passion for the product creates such enjoyable videos to watch at home. Please never change.
Steering something with a screen is probably more intuitive for kids these days than the steering wheels you find in the classic space sets from the 70s.
I like to imagine the differently colored ones are the leaders of their certain squadron. The dark blue is the head pilot. The dark orange is the construction foreman, the dark green is the lead scientist/engineer, and the gold is the base commander.
The "emergency exit" from the base also looks like it can dock the "pods". Also...these really feel, with the color-coded suits, like a spiritual follow up to Classic Space and especially Futuron (with more white to everything than classic space). And boy am I here for it.
What about the 8th set, the new City Space polybag that goes with this subtheme, set 30663 “Space Hoverbike?” As with most polybags, it’s only purchasable from non Lego retail stores, like Target. Anyway, great video overview of this great new line. Love the Star Trek looks.
Very seldomly do I ever want an entire range of a theme, but this has my full attention. A few thoughts. First its missing a big spaceship: flagship. I love the aesthetic. I think you are right with the color coded figures and roles; the dark color of each is the senior officer of the group. I think the aliens are cute to prevent them from being played with as hostiles. I wonder if they will keep this theme rolling. I'd love to see more.
i’m rly glad there’s some original space stuff w some sci fi, i rly hope lego goes further in this direction. not so into the bigger sets this wave but a lot of the small ones i like
The friends space set has compatible modules as well. The older space sets from a few years back are also structurally compatible, although not aesthetically compatible, with these space sets
@@alexnunes it’s set 42605 … interestingly, in that set, Olivia is talking via video to Nova, and in set 42603 Nova can be seen talking via video to Olivia
As an AFOL, nothing gets me more excited for new sets that Space Lego. All these sets look amazing and I'll be picking up all of them! I hope they extend the range with more sets.
I think these all look great, but I probably won't get any of them. But 8-year-old me would have wanted every single one of these, especially the space station.
It was so exciting to watch you both of your reactions to these sets. I am loving that some neat stuff is coming out of City. Also I am excited for all the kids that will get to enjoy Lego space sets.
These are great! So consistent across the line and all the sets seem to work together in different ways. Most importantly you can play with them! I just built an ice planet MOC ship with a docking rover and detachable drone and coupled with my old ice station odyssey set my son was having so much fun. He was loving all the play features and we were exploring the house with our ships. I’d love to do more of that with these sets as well as build MOCs. Great theme.
Great review alix an mindy 😊..you .s pushed me over. The edge. Into ..now. Whanting. The. Two big set s 😊.with a thort. On adding my tuche s to thos builds ..the linking of the pods toger is..great. For a. Space train 😊
Ever since I was a kid I always loved Lego's original space series. And seeing them come back around to this kind of stuff makes me incredibly excited. I will definitely be picking up these sets, they give me strong mars mission/ life on mars vibes.
alright so you guys are calling them blue guys and stuff so lemme say what they are. yellow= miner (mines for crystals to convert them to batteries) blue= pilots (control the vehicles and ships) green= scientist (study the planet and crystals) yellow one with the 2 extra arms is head miner the green one with darker green is head scientist and the dark blue on is the head pilot. ps: i didnt know at the time but the brown and gold one are specialists. there ya go! :D
Great video, thanks Lot of fun thanks to you 😊 All those sets look great, but in my opinion the « biggest » one, the space base, is too small comparating to buggies
Your theory makes a lot of sense but also Mindy is very right, the darker colored minifigs are the leaders of each team, thus the black colored one is the leader of the whole expedition
Yup it pretty much goes like this... Gold- Commander Dark Blue- senior pilot officer Dark Green- senior science officer Brown- senior engineering officer Blue- pilots/vehicle operators Green- scientists Yellow- engineers/construction
Thanks for the review and entertainment. Based on what I've seen here, the sets look like a lot fun to fool around with. I'm very thankful there are no red shirts!
That would have been really fun if they included red shirts. I would not have been able to hold back on how they would all meet their doom on the alien planet.
Oh man, I love these!! I hope we get more waves like previous space themes and powerminers! It feels like that this is a perfect mashup to have all space themes like classic, space police, galactic squad, and power miners together for some reason Also love those shirts! My parents would love those 😅
I want to see a full theme of this, I want more prominent aliens, maybe make them more aggressive, but definitely give them their own builds and minifigs.
12:43 for those of us who grew up during the {Motion Picture} years before the Wrath of Khan, one of the reasons why I like that movie (despite the story) was that we got to see the earth and support vehicles for Star Trek, there is a cargo train version of the Work Bee🐝. Can't wait to see what MOC builders will do for these sets at Brick World shows. And I wonder if those little green aliens are actually "little ones", because there is always a larger fish (Alien.)
thanks for the good look at these guys. I will def pick some if not all. Couple i'd like on discount but overall the pricing has gotten better this time round
I think this could be one of Lego’s best selling themes this year and absolutely love them. I’m sure I will be beaming some if not all up at some point. I think the crystals could be dylithium crystals just like in Star Trek lol.
I LOVE that they are brining this back this year! I can finally make another space lego series on my channel I plan to do it till may when we get a space minifig series with even cooler minifigures!! ❤
Hello! Thanks. These sets were sent to me from LEGO for review. We build, review, and do a report back to LEGO on what we think and what others think about them.
A great review, thank you. Surely the power crystals are dilithium crystals? ✨The space sets are good, and mostly well-priced. Love seeing you both on the review.
Awesome new space sets. Reminds me of the classic space ,my favorite. Also probably the closest thing to Star Trek that we will get from Lego for now. Great video and review 😁👍.
I still feel like these shouldn’t be a City-Space theme. It’s too sci-if, whereas the city theme is more realistic/in the present to near future. These feel much more like a standalone space theme.
Can the capsule module from the space station be attached to the ones at the ground base as well? If yes, then the possibilities are endless and we can buy a bunch of them to make a space colony.
I never was a huge space sets fan besides star wars. Usually its very earth based. And i dont want to collect the old space stuff(space Police if im right) but this is great. Great mix between normal space and sciencefiction. I will get all of these thanks to you 2 giving a full coverage
I'm loving this new space wave. I thought it might also go well with an older set. The 3-in-1 miner mech. The big mech had a computer sitting in the cockpit with transparent green pieces on one end and transparent purple on the other. So I thought what if this is a remnant of some exctinct alien civilization? The purple pieces are the power source and the green are the computer core. It was mining green crystals I thought might be some kind of ore that can supercharger computers.
The two smaller ships and the smaller land rover are all a great value as you can purchase all three for under $80 (before tax). That feels like a lot of things.
Loved the intro. Yes, still holding out hope that before I die, we can see some Star Trek Lego. By the way, no offense but Mindy can easily pass as a vulcan. Just no laughing :)
Okay, so.. those look really cool actually. The rover with the articulated wheels reminds me of one of my favourite sets of all time, 6919 "Planetary Prowler" from the 1998 Insectoids. The space station looks awesome, even if I'm not sure how they're meant to get around easily, and the base also looks really cool. Like, a proper actual play set with cool play features. The entire base being designed around a crane that moves a small pallet from a truck into the cargo module on a spaceship is.. ehh, could be better, but it's something. I think if there had been some crates for them to pack the crystals and plants into for transport, that would be a bit better. I love the McGuffium crystals too, it takes me back to the special energy-elements and 'Voltstones' from themes like the aforementioned Insectoids and Rock Raiders. Also I'm kinda glad we're not fighting the evil aliens whose planet we invaded this time, like in Mars Mission. Even if I would have liked some laser cannons on the ships and such. If I can manage it, I'm definitely getting as many of these as I can. Maybe even some duplicates of that spaceship one! The designs of the vehicles are nice and clean, and the colour scheme is brilliantly consistent. I think some of the vehicles use some parts that unless I'm mistaken, are really big and kinda specific to their context, and I'd probably have preferred smaller parts to do a similar job, but it's not too big a deal. I do like the module system also. It reminds me of 7315 "Solar Explorer", from 2001's Life on Mars theme, which is another really cool set. The aliens are a bit disappointing though. Cute, but they really don't seem to ...do anything. Right? Lego seems pretty bad at having aliens/monsters that actually do stuff. The single-jointed aliens from "Mars Mission" for example, or the bugs in "Galaxy Squad". A lot of space themes in the 90s didn't even bother having another faction in the same theme. You want bad guys for the "Ice Planet" guys, go get the "RoboForce" guys. In "Space Police 3" it was.. a bunch of alien space truckers who were space-robbing the space-bank. Weird, but fine. At least in "Power Miners", the rock monsters were eating the same crystals the miners were after. In "Alien Conquest" it was a legit invasion fleet. In "Bionicle", the monsters were the pawns of two fraternal gods locked in an immortal battle between darkness and light over the power to shape time and space across the universe to their will.
Great comment. I can tell you have some great knowledge and experience with a lot of the sub space themes. LEGO is playing it safe with this one. That's why I felt like the aliens were a bit disappointing. Adding an opposing faction may have spiced things up, sort of like M:Tron and Blacktron. Those were great themes. Thanks for the info and I totally agree.
@@alexnunes Maybe for the next wave they should come up with some evil aliens who attack the cute green ones to harvest the same purple McGuffium crystals, then the astronauts could get reinforcements from their side, maybe in red suits (redshirts?) to help fight them off! :D
Good review. You really covered all of the details. I think it's a very good step for Lego to have a sub theme shared by several themes. Let do castle next!
SO glad Lego is developing original Space sets again. I feel like the fading of Star Wars has allowed breathing room for LEGO to give their own Space sets another shot.
Agreed, I just wish they'd finally go all in on Castle and Pirates now.

No red shirts, but the gold shirts are doing the dangerous work.
The Star Trek outfits made this even Greater. Love it!
the space station, base, and the vehicles are amazing.
Gold guys are clearly the Mark Watneys, in charge of fixing stuff, growing potatoes, and snarking everyone.
I need to get ALL of these!!!!!
ALL OF THEM ! ! ! ! ! ! 🙂
Have to say. This is the first space theme I have actually wanted to get all of in a long time.
That giant rover could definitely be a good base for some custom ideas I have

Thanks for the kind words. We'll continue to do our best.
It feels like a sequel to power miners.
Thanks for the review - including the Trek references and EV suit color-coding. I only came across this new Theme today and needed to know more.
Steering something with a screen is probably more intuitive for kids these days than the steering wheels you find in the classic space sets from the 70s.
Great Review! I want them all!

I agree about a flagship. I think that's what the modular space station is in this case. Great series and I do hope they expand it.
I think if they did it it should be more of a command ship like from Star Wars but with brighter colours and docking bays
I hope Lego eventually brings back the blue and gray color scheme and yellow cockpits.
These looks really good. I might buy a few of them!
Just the info I needed, thanks!

That’s how I felt to! I hope we see more waves of this
So cool that you guys are doing this together now! And with the Star Trek uniforms, really going above and beyond :)

It's interesting that all three minifigure colors have one special version, like a section commander or something.

As you know, Space-X has some of those ideas they can come up with for living and exploring the moon in many decades of the future.

Thanks, good range of sets for sure.
YOU TWO ARE SO ADORKABLE AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT 🖖
I love that word, adorkable. I am gonna use that word a lot now. Thanks!
I feel a MOC brewing inside my head. Loving the space sets.
That sets are very very very cool im defenetly gonna buy all of that in january (I already saw this video 4 times in 2 days)
Update: I ended now to see this video for the 10th time (and i ordered the lego)
Love the minfigure ranks in the series. Gold being the captain and 3 darker mini fig helms being the leftanants for the teams.
5:05 Her Tattoo is the Flux Capacitor!? Maybe it's a time travel spaceship?
Great video, thanks
Lot of fun thanks to you 😊
All those sets look great, but in my opinion the « biggest » one, the space base, is too small comparating to buggies
Great review !!!I hope Lego brings back the classic space sets from the 80s and 90s. I'm nostalgic for those space Lego sets
Your theory makes a lot of sense but also Mindy is very right, the darker colored minifigs are the leaders of each team, thus the black colored one is the leader of the whole expedition
Yup it pretty much goes like this...
Gold- Commander
Dark Blue- senior pilot officer

Brown- senior engineering officer
Blue- pilots/vehicle operators
Green- scientists
Yellow- engineers/construction

@@alexnunes lol, that would have been good entertainment, cause those little aliens would have "crowned" a red shirt, for sure. 😁
You two are great. Lol. Love the content!
The Interstellar Spaceship is definitely worth buying!
As soon as I saw it on the table I instantly thought of interstellar too! Also love that it turns into a space version of the subnautica sea truck.
Oh man, I love these!! I hope we get more waves like previous space themes and powerminers! It feels like that this is a perfect mashup to have all space themes like classic, space police, galactic squad, and power miners together for some reason
Also love those shirts! My parents would love those 😅
There are alot of kits that are coming out that definitely need light kits.
I want to see a full theme of this, I want more prominent aliens, maybe make them more aggressive, but definitely give them their own builds and minifigs.
12:43 for those of us who grew up during the {Motion Picture} years before the Wrath of Khan, one of the reasons why I like that movie (despite the story) was that we got to see the earth and support vehicles for Star Trek, there is a cargo train version of the Work Bee🐝. Can't wait to see what MOC builders will do for these sets at Brick World shows. And I wonder if those little green aliens are actually "little ones", because there is always a larger fish (Alien.)
I’m glad that you went over what the mini figures jobs were. That is something I wish more reviewers did👍
Amazing! Every video should be in Star Trek uniforms. :)
I agree! lol. I am gonna need more uniforms.
Not a huge fan of the original station but its pods look like they could be added to the main base. Hopefully we get wave 2 and some better aliens.
Good catch. They do connect to that door on the side. Could definitely expand it.
thanks for the good look at these guys. I will def pick some if not all. Couple i'd like on discount but overall the pricing has gotten better this time round
Those pods and the ship are literally the Seatruck submarine from Subnautica Below zero
I think this could be one of Lego’s best selling themes this year and absolutely love them. I’m sure I will be beaming some if not all up at some point. I think the crystals could be dylithium crystals just like in Star Trek lol.

I like the overall asthetic, but these aliens suck compared to Mars Mission Aliens (goated).

Compare the pods from this series to previous. Are they compatible?
Do you know anything about the 40712 Space GWP for January of 2024? I still haven't seen any information on what it could be.
No, haven't seen anything on this yet, but I hear it will be a microscale rocket.
@@alexnunes Thanks for letting me know. Where did you hear about it being a microscale rocket?
estos sets me recuerdan mucho a la colección de 2007-2008 de Mars Mision
If I got the rovers I probbaly end up combining the vechiles together to build a bigger more moblie all terrine vechile
Awesome job on the review - Love these sets and can't wait to get my hands on them and build 😀
Finally I can make a StarCraft base with minerals! :D
They do look like mineral fields. Now we just need something to mine the vespene gas!
The two smaller ships and the smaller land rover are all a great value as you can purchase all three for under $80 (before tax). That feels like a lot of things.
What a great, wonderful wave!
OMG - how did Mindy keep a straight face with the capt Alex Kirk voice?
I sense it wasn't the first time she has heard it. Or the hundredth. 😂🖖
She hears that impression on a regular basis. I think sometimes she feels like she's married to the Shat!
the train combinations kind of looks like the Subnautica 2 Submarines >
Loved the intro. Yes, still holding out hope that before I die, we can see some Star Trek Lego.
By the way, no offense but Mindy can easily pass as a vulcan. Just no laughing :)
That was the nerdiest intro you've done in a while.
11/10
2024 is going to be a very exciting year for Lego.
Where did you get those star track shirts? I love them!!!!
I love these space sets. I hope theyalso release space baby sets like the GWP one
You don’t need multiple books to build a set with someone, just take turns
Excellent solution!
So instead of using ICE propulsion LEGO decided that it would be a better example to strip-mine an alien planet for battery power. Got it. 😂
That's what it seems like to me. Interesting approach.
I like Mindys theory it is alien 💩. My garden here on earth is powered by earth worm 🪱 💩 and the sun. 😂

The single-jointed aliens from "Mars Mission" for example, or the bugs in "Galaxy Squad". A lot of space themes in the 90s didn't even bother having another faction in the same theme. You want bad guys for the "Ice Planet" guys, go get the "RoboForce" guys. In "Space Police 3" it was.. a bunch of alien space truckers who were space-robbing the space-bank. Weird, but fine. At least in "Power Miners", the rock monsters were eating the same crystals the miners were after. In "Alien Conquest" it was a legit invasion fleet. In "Bionicle", the monsters were the pawns of two fraternal gods locked in an immortal battle between darkness and light over the power to shape time and space across the universe to their will.
Great comment. I can tell you have some great knowledge and experience with a lot of the sub space themes. LEGO is playing it safe with this one. That's why I felt like the aliens were a bit disappointing. Adding an opposing faction may have spiced things up, sort of like M:Tron and Blacktron. Those were great themes. Thanks for the info and I totally agree.
@@alexnunes Maybe for the next wave they should come up with some evil aliens who attack the cute green ones to harvest the same purple McGuffium crystals, then the astronauts could get reinforcements from their side, maybe in red suits (redshirts?) to help fight them off! :D
You and Mindy Do wonderful job sharing your love of Lego! Thank you! Love your channel
Good review. You really covered all of the details. I think it's a very good step for Lego to have a sub theme shared by several themes.
Let do castle next!
Boldly bricking where no one has briked before. 😊
