Wonderful collection snapshot! We are of similar age (I succinctly remember the first figures). My parents got rid of all my original Lego, so over the past few years I bought and assembled an almost compete run of Space Lego from1978 up to 1983 (when I started to be more interested in other things). Best time for Lego ever!
So cool you still have the space Lego from your childhood. I have fond memories of the All-Terrain Vehicle as well. I had town and castle Lego sets too that were fun. Thanks for your video!
Building my lego Airwolf in the 80s as a kid was only possible because of space lego parts, it's still hung up in livingroom by fishing wire to this day.
I've been rebuilding my Space Lego collection also, my stuff was in a lot worse shape than yours, lots of incomplete sets, broken antennae, discolored parts, faded prints, spacemen with no faces, tons of the infamous broken helmets, the list goes on. I've been buying parts to fill out sets while trying to keep as many of "my" original parts as possible. It's been a journey, I've got roughly 3 sets left to complete. Space Lego makes me think of "Space: 1999" meets "2001: A Space Odyssey".
I would love to have all the space sets from the late 70's. I had a bunch of them back then and I'm sure they are still hanging around in my lego storage container. Guess I should go have a look and see what I have left from back then.
Enjoyed the tour of your space collection. We are contemporaries in our Lego journey. Of all my toys from Hot Wheels to early video games I definitely spent more time with the classic space sets than probably any other toy. Mine were handed down to my nephew...I sure wish I'd have kept track over the years where they finally ended up. It's great you were able to save your original sets and now have them all back in your own display room. Very awesome.
Nice lego collection! The space lego I had in the 80ies arrived a few years later. It was the generation with the white ships with blue windows, like the front window on that All-terrain vehicle you have. Rebuilding all these vehicles from bags of bricks must have been a work of patience. Cool video!
Very cool! :D I am a little jealous you have so many Classic Space LEGO sets, though. I am too young to have experienced any of it. :/ BUT, I am definitely going to start collecting the ones I want!
The all terrain vehicle was my favorite. It's the one I remember the most and built/re-built over and over again. When I "re-discovered" lego here about a year ago (my son is an adult now and picked back up the hobby a couple years ago) - I wanted to start with Lego City Space (the newer sets) - after building nearly all of them I started to look for classic space sets and the all terrain vehicle is the first set I wanted to get. To be honest that is the one set that I would grab if I could only take one - it's the crown jewel of my collection and I have some pretty expensive / complex sets now. Thank you for sharing - I'm so glad that you'd kept your lego sets - so many times I hear people say "I had a great lego collection - my mother sold it all at a yard sale...."
Awesome collection you have. I just had the LL 918 and a couple of small buggys and recently managed to find all the parts to LL 918 and she now proudly sits on my shelf😊
I had some space lego but l mainly had the medieval lego. Your collection is mind blowing. Well done! I don't know how you remember all the toys you had, you keep showing items l forgot I had from metal soldiers to A team vans. I remember my complete star wars collection, black hole, tron and DUNE figures but until your videos that was it. Thanks keep on jogging my memory
Sir Dean,haven’t checked in for a hot minute,never stopped watching and supporting,left the comment section alone for a time is all 😀simply had to jump back in to say what a absolute fantastic video,just epic seeing the effect our childhood toys have on us,amazing work man,powerful stuff,loved it 🫶🏻🇮🇪😎
Amazing Lego Space collection there Dean! And all the more amazing as they are the actual sets from your childhood! I will be moving this month and will finally be able to get my own Vintage Lego Space Lego collection on display! And yes, the All Terrain Explorer was also my favourite Lego set from that era too!😎
Really nice collection. I never got into Lego, but it must have been great for a kid to build up the smaller pieces with pocket money and then receive the huge sets for Christmas. I like the base with the moon craters too, it's a really nice touch. 👍
I had many of these sets. , Now I'm 50 years old and only just got into buying Star Wars lego. I don't actually care about the official sets, but I now happily spend hours making cool looking spaceships while listening to podcasts or music. Just like I used to 40 years ago.
Wow, you really had a much bigger Lego collection than I was expecting. I only had a couple of small space items, Castle and Forest Men sets where what I loved as a kid, though didn't have that many of them in comparison to your collection.
Lego was the first toy line that I actively collected. I guess my first sets were from 1977 and up until 1984, I think every family member got me Lego for birthdays and Christmases.
Hey Dean, great video, and I agree that lego space sets especially the early sets from the 1979 ,early 80s were the best space lego, even in today in my opinion.I still have some my own original sets sill together from when they built back from the early 80s, and on the 40th anniversary i cleaned up and rebuilt the classic space explorer 928 which are all on display.
That's an awesome collection, I'm very jealous. My first Space Lego was the Mobile Tracking Station that I see you also have. When I used to play with them the white astronauts were the good guys and the reds were the baddies. Tragically all my Lego got binned by my parents after I left home, still gutted about that.
I live in NY but I would spend my childhood summer in England. My mum is from there. My brother and I would go to boots ( I think) and would get the mini cheap lego space vehicles. Still have them today. Wow, get video.
Awesome collection!!! We will all be interested to see how it looks in your collection room! Classic Space is one of my favorite Lego themes of all time. The modern and licensed stuff is fun but can NEVER be as pure, original, and charming.
Wow! Congratulations on getting all your Space Lego built. This video really takes me back to my childhood. You're bang on with the point that this range was great for sparking the imagination of little Star Wars fans back in the day. I had lots of the small pocket-money sets plus the middle-sized transporter, which I think was a birthday present one year. My kids still have all my Space Lego pieces and base plates jumbled up with their dismantled Lego sets. Inspired now to try re-building a few of the Space Lego sets.
I still have all my Space Lego. Like you, the two seater space scooter was also my first set. Of all my collectables, my kids will be left to decide what to do with it all when I'm gone. I'll never part with it while I'm still on planet earth. 😃
SPACE LEGO RULES 😍 Oh, I see a lot of familiar sets. Just wish I’d kept them, lol. Mum gave them to my nephews. Damn. Been toying with the idea of picking them up again. Got some other things I wanna get first. But I might revisit this down the track. Honestly think Lego is the toy GOAT 🐐
i used bricklink to figure out what sets space sets i had as a kid too. But mine was boot saled or given away so i had to buy the parts or sets. Strangely, i too have no interest in adding sets i dint have as a kid

I've no idea how the Lego survived as I sold most of my childhood toys in the early 2000s. I'm still kicking myself for doing that.
Awesome collection you have. I just had the LL 918 and a couple of small buggys and recently managed to find all the parts to LL 918 and she now proudly sits on my shelf😊

It certainly was the stuff of dreams. 👍🏻

I'm so glad I held onto these.
I remember getting a lego fireman keyring from woolworths in the 70s
I had some space lego with red and white lego men
Ah, Woolworths. What I would give to be able to walk into one of those shops again. 👍🏻
Great to see them built and on display, thanks for sharing Dean!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, it's definitely one of, if not THE greatest toy lines.
Great collection Dean, LL918 was my favourite until I got the Galaxy Commander (6980) when it came out...I still have it all in a big box in the loft
Many thanks 👍🏻
Amazing collection and display! Can’t wait to see the Star Wars 😮😅
Many thanks. The full tour will be coming soon. 👍🏻
Nice work getting these all assembled. Looks good.
Thanks 👍🏻
I had the galaxy commander set growing up, still have most of the pieces.
@@impossiblepie Nice 👍🏻
What a cool collection Dean, thanks for sharing! Have you seen the new larger version they’ve done of the 60s Batmobile? Will you be getting that one?
Thanks. yes, I've seen the new Batmobile but at the moment, I honestly have nowhere to put it, so I'm still up in the air about it.
I loved building spaceships of my own design
Me too 👍🏻
What a beautiful collection
Many thanks 👍🏻
Great video. My first Space set was 918, favourite is 928 (although 10497 is excellent as well).
Nice 👍🏻
Nice! I had the base on the back right corner with the blue windows
Thanks 👍🏻
💛 🧡 ❤ 💜

No broken helmet chin bars were seen in this video...disappointed lolol
The crack of pride
I was amazed to see that there had been no damage over all those decades.
@@0-60.tests.with.Passengers 👍🏻
i used bricklink to figure out what sets space sets i had as a kid too. But mine was boot saled or given away so i had to buy the parts or sets. Strangely, i too have no interest in adding sets i dint have as a kid
Yes, bricklinkj is a great resource. 👍🏻
Omfg I sooo need that set do you know/remember the lego no it is
Do you mean the All Terrain vehicle I said was my favorite? That's set 6927.
Did you ever use your space lego collection to recreate scenes from the BBC classic, The Boy From Space?
LOL 👍🏻
