Exciting that you got one more set with the massive trans half dome piece for your collection. I am a fan of those parts as well. I have the same 4 sets you do. I was very fortunate to stumble on this set last year while travelling. So lucky I had the room for it in my suitcase. It is a beautiful set all around. Definitely hard to come by. Great review.
I've had this set since 1988 and I still love it today. It was such a wonderful set to play with, there are so many little computers and other workstations for the minifigs, there is a rover to drive around and a spaceship to fly around and of course the functions of the base. So many options to have adventures.
I have most of the pieces still for this set from the 80's, One of the pieces i am missing is the windscreen on the flying vehicle, so expensive to get. Loved the Blacktron sets from that era. The Battrax is also super cool. Congrats in getting a complete one.
Awesome. I recently found a lot of the key parts of 6991 monorail in a bulk lot I bought from a friend and compounded with some tram parts plus a few bricklink parts was able to complete the set
Back in the day my brother and I added Technic motors so we could operate the racks remotely, and fitted some red LED lighting underneath the flight deck. Looked very cool.
When I came out of my dark age and became an afol this was the first set I chased down. Glad I did it when I did, it's a lot more expensive now, 10 years later
Now I want to complete my quarter dome collection. My mom found a free lot that had a like-new Hydro Crystalation Station! so if I find another one I guess I'll have to pay it forward. I'm one of those people who treat lego sets like a stray dog; I just want it to go to a good home.
I used to have that set as soon as I saw the clear yellow 1/4 "dome" I knew that was it, we lost a bunch of the pieces still have the plate with the "dunes" and craters lost a bunch of the little pieces and hoses.
Hello, I am trying to decide whether to get 6894 Invader for $50 or 6954 Renegade for $200. Which do you think is a better buy, taking both the set itself, as well as the parts you get?
@@ForBricksandGiggles it's the sheer blackness of that box, searching for that 1x1 with horizontal clip is just ... Well, a challenge to say it nicely 😉
Great one - an all time classic. Jim Spaceborn - that’s one of those wanted items too for me
A classic, indeed! And I didn’t know about Jim Spaceborn until now, very cool!
Hello @ jaabo
WOW!!!
BrickTsar himself!!! 😲 😲 😲
Such an efficient use of parts and a large build for 550 pieces! Original Blacktron was so cool.
I LOVE an efficient use of pieces! My kind of build for sure! 🙌
Nice! The small hallway between the two large sections is the best. The small rover is also pretty cool
I’m so stoked just looking this amazing set. Congratulations!
Thank you! It really is wonderful!
Always a pleasure to help, Stacey! Great video!
Blacktron! My older sister had that. She loved to invent dark and mysterious science fiction stories with it to frighten me. Good times!
That’s what older siblings are for! 😂😂
I was so excited to build this as well. Glad it’s finally displayed on my shelves and glad you have one as well!
Omg. The set and the shirt!😍 spyrius 4 ever
Love Spyrius too!
@@ForBricksandGiggles Yes, one of the series that I have completely from my youth. Luckily never sold
This was the one I got for a Christmas gift.
Absolute GOAT of a set, thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching!! 😊🙌

Haaaaallelujah!!! Haaaaallelujah!!! Hallelujah!Hallelujah! Ha LayA LooOo Yaaah!!!! 🙏😇 Andrew and Troy are great guys! Good job guys!!!!
Hahaha exactly! 😂😅
One of my favorite sets from my childhood. My only real "big boy" set

I wish they would bring blacktron back, one of my favorite space themes
ME TOO! 🙌
I grew up playing with Legos in a room that had that exact wood paneling lol
Good review. I have all the rest of the Blacktron I sets for sale, if interested.

Otherwise, I really dig the...... "T-shirt"? ... Or whatever kind of apparel it is. 🙂
Dream set! Is it cheaper to buy it as a set or as parts?

Now I want to rebuild mine. But that means sorting out all my black pieces 🫤
That is a lot of work 😩

It’s worth it!
