    This is an amazing crosslink / mashup of one of my favorite hobbies and one of my favorite bands. Ofcourse the stuff from the Netherlands arrived first, but they were lazy and didn't clean the LEGO properly.
    If you want to remove discoloration, putting it into the sun in Hydrogen Peroxide works wonders, just keep them properly submerged.

    Awesome video. Thanks for letting us know about those sites. As soon as I saw that fluorescent green window piece I knew exactly what you were trying to build. I still have the completed Spectral Starguider in a box somewhere with all my other Legos from my childhood. I'm 34 years old but I'll play with Legos ANY day!!

  • @Ticktok_of_Oz
    @Ticktok_of_Oz 4 года назад +5

    that's awesome man. I had this set when I was a kid too. I loved the old space days with the neon clear pieces. I also loved the snow planet stuff with the neon orange visors, skis and saw blades.

    • @twelvefootninja
      @twelvefootninja  4 года назад +1

      There’s a lot of talk about bringing back classic space and blacktron series - there’s even petitions! I’d be stoked with that and it would be cheaper than all the licensed stuff.

    • @Ticktok_of_Oz
      @Ticktok_of_Oz 4 года назад

      @@twelvefootninja agreed. while I like some of the licensed stuff, I miss the pure LEGO creativity of the old sets. I dreamed of being a LEGO builder when I grew up, but now I can't imagine trying to design a set but being locked in to just replicating movie scenes rather than building on to the LEGO universe.
      I do really hope they embrace VR at some point though. They really need to before someone else. Being able to scale down and build something with y our "hands" and then instantly scale it up and walk around in it would be amazing.

    • @twelvefootninja
      @twelvefootninja  4 года назад +1

      Have you messed around with Lego Digital Designer? It's similar to what you're describing.

    • @pinobluevogel6458
      @pinobluevogel6458 6 месяцев назад

      This set looks awesome, I'm a bit older so I don't remember this line of Blacktron, but the huge wheels and bright neon transparant pieces make it pop for sure.
      Recently in 2023, there was a remake of a classic Blacktron ship I had, available in stores. It isn't quite the same, but it has the same vibe as the old set. You could say it was slightly upgraded and refitted with modern pieces and design philosophy.
      As a fan of Castle LEGO, it is great to see them go back to that side too, with modern, extremely pricey but well designed sets.

    I had to do something like this for a UCS Imperial Shuttle which is 90% white bricks and a UCS AT-ST. Thankfully the shuttle had no yellowing and just needed a clean with Oxy powder. The AT-ST had some discoloured parts which I was able to reverse by putting them in a 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution and leave out in the sun for a few hours.

      I agree, but do keep the music in the background like with this video. It makes the lego stuff feel even more badass than it already is.

  • @jeremyjamesdewitt
    @jeremyjamesdewitt 7 лет назад +1

    This is really amazing to see! I’m a huge collector of 80s/90s toys, and I know that feeling of trying to recapture your youth in a physical form. I’ve since gone a little overboard, but I love it! What other toylines do you collect, if any? I mainly collect Masters of the Universe, Ghostbusters, TMNT, Pac-Man, NES, and some stuff from M.U.S.C.L.E., Rock Lords, Thundercats, etc.

    There's more to that trick - I've heard that the Vanish powder on its own is not as good as it's with peroxide - you dunk the pieces in actual peroxide - the stronger the better - and then put in a spoon or two of Vanish on top of that, as that will catalyze the reaction. Then leave out in the sun like you did. Apparently does the trick in as little as two or three hours. But you can leave it in for longer and you should achieve peak whiteness

    • @twelvefootninja

    Did you miss the Hydrogen Peroxide stage? Vanish on its own will only do half the job. Cheap salon products work well because they wont make the plastic brittle. Great for old computers etc that go yellow.

    GAH this makes me really wish I didn't sell all of my legos. I had pounds upon pounds, full sets (like a star wars ATAT!) and real vintage shit and I didn't even make what I should have off of the sale. It went somewhere good, like a daycare or something. But damn I would love picking up those classic ninja sets now that I'm having a nerd stroke
