now thats what we call a tactical reupload
What an appropriate time to reupload this
Highlight in this video. JANG of 2016 predicting the 2022 Galaxy Explorer and the 2025 Blacktron Renegade.
Wow, perfect reupload timing with the new unveiled Renegade model.
11:22 so yes past Jang, it looks like Blacktron can be brought back even if its just a one-off set!
I forgot how modular ye olden space designs were, so much potential to mix and match sets.
Thank you for the reupload of this one, at such a relevant time !
To answer the question at the end of the video:
YES!
Bring back all the classic Space themes and color schemes with updated pieces and building techniques.
It'll be so much fun for all ages!
Imagine a Futuron monorail remake maybe with some mtron/blacktron in there
I love you, Jang. But Blacktron were NEVER the "bad guys" in my childhood imagination. They were just awesome.
Well this was a fitting video to reup. I hadn’t seen it and you were spot on with that bringing back Blacktron. The new remake set looks good and I think Lego has found a new direction with these remakes of classic sets. Just wish they would branch out and be a little more creative and allow for some new designs for some of the themes they are reviving instead of only remaking sets based off originals. But I get it, it’s more safe of a business model.
Very appropriate timing for the reupload
I have no blacktron nostalgia.... but I'm hyped for the remake!
Another thing you could do with this original - the engines come off and are held by the same technic pins as the other modules - so that flyer could get one of the big thrusters - either by itself or with the lab/cargo unit between it.
This is a set I still have on display now. One of my favorites from the era!
Nice timing this vintage blacktron looks amazing ive got last yr GWP one can't wait to get new one in jan 👍
Very fitting upload 😂, the new version looks like a great revision on this classic design
I think what people mean when they talk about less specialized pieces is that the old pieces were much easier to use for different things, while the new pieces has become so specialized that you can hardly use it for anything else besides it's intended purpose...unless you add in a whole slew of extra pieces just for that one thing.
This series came out just after I stopped collecting as a kid. I had tons of classic space (in those days just space) dating back from the 70's.
Great overview, Jang, and love hearing your insight.
not gonna lie... I thought Jang somehow got the new re-release early when this showed up in my subscription
So excited for the new one 🙏 This is a very useful reupload thank jang!
Good timing with this re-upload.
Looking forward to JANG's comparison between this one and the new one coming out in January of 2025.
Perfect timing for this upload! :P Great set!
Perfect timing for this reupload!
I loved blacktron but never had this set. Thanks for the blast from the past. Really looking forward to the update.
Same here, this is one of the sets I drooled over along with the big ground vehicle. I Did have the Alienator and the medium sized space ship though
Yeah...this is just way cooler for some reason. i have this set from when I was a kid with just a few missing pieces. This set is def one of the best lego sets of all time!
Here after the new one was unveiled. This may be smaller but looks so much better
Wow perfect timing 😍
A very cool retro late 80s space set. Looking forward to your comparison video of the old and new version next year.
This still looks great as it is
Wild that at the end you suggested a reuse of this classic series!!
I had those original Blacktron sets. They were very cool and unique at the time!
Wow! Perfect timing !
At the time how much I wanted it...
smart upload timing jang
The ORIGINAL! But, I'm happy we have the upcoming 2024 version -- which I think rocks (too)!
Yes. I do think blacktron could be brought back today with a little bit of a redesign 😉
Perfect timing
Right on time!
Crazy how great this looks even today. I’d easily pay £50 for this
That was my favourite set when I was a kid.
I remember watching this review when it came out
Perfect timing...
Nice timing. :)
Yes, people will find this pairs great with the Space City sets.
Perfect timing!
Smart move Jang
Hmm nice set. Looking forward for the new one... 😊
i was just wanting to watch this
well, that came right in time
I love asymmetrical spaceships. I prefer the alternative Blacktron colours with white neon green and black.
Whoa, how very, very relevant
Great Time to ReUpload
with the 2025 remake of this set just revealed.
1:59 Yep Nintendo invented triangles and that particular arrangement, also there was no video games before they existed.😅
Interesting to see the evolution of bricks, the more simple geometry, and the one or two layer paint applications. Funny anecdote about Star Wars helmets from the OG films, many of the grill holes were decals.
The use of specialized pieces is an ongoing battle to make things look like intended objects, versus avoiding a piece that can't be used for anything else. Other brands have done quite a bad job with such pieces but even Lego has had a few over the years.
Still there's a reason many companies replicate Lego pieces verbatim Ie. it is hard to design a brick piece with maximum verisimilitude.😁
Kinda wish the new one had more of a cargo pod like that but still a lot of features. I wonder if as a kid I was put off by the asymmetry but now I like it
Haha, nice timing ;)
Perfect time on the reupload haha
I've always associated the Blacktrons with the Shadow Force from the Starcom series, both from 1987.
The original set, despite its asymmetrical design, still looks like a cohesive single spacecraft.
I dont think the 2025 version gives that same impression, as it now looks more like 2 separate long rocket ships joined together, with wings added to either side.
nice Wiz Khalifa reference there :)
My first set! I still have it as well. Looking forward to the re-release.
Hmm, this doesn't seem coincidental at all, lol! :D
what a timing
as fans of darth vader know you gotta have an awesome bad guy!
We see what you did there with this re-upload 😂
I adore the bwing so this is perfect
lol nice timing Jang
clever jang heheh
Nice timing ...
This one aged very well
Adjusted for inflation that is 80$! :o
Please do a review on the new blacktron renegade!
b-model looks like a new one
It does make the remake look a little better I think?
Would rather lego re-released this set rather than this new one.
Topical!
Proportions and overall design so much better than the remake...
But why does it have a triforce on its front??
Price?
Better than new one :D
Strange ship😮. Not symmetrical.
I think I like this more than the new Blacktron Renegade.
Perfect timing
Perfect timing with this reupload!
