About this deal

Unikitty looks delightful in her classic space garb, doesn't she! As you'd expect, her face and body are printed. I hope we learn from the movie what role Pink Classic Space minifigs play – I hope it’s something cool. Maybe Engineering? Despite being adept with old space technologies, he is unable to decipher more modern ones like those in Business' computer room. Or, they are just unable to decipher him.

The characters included in the set are illustrated on the top of the box: Robo Emmet, Astro Kitty, Benny, Space Wyldstyle and Robo Pilot. Like many LEGO fans, this set caught me quite off guard, especially the inclusion of Lenny, the pink Classic Space minifigure.

Details

is everything you could ever want from a Classic Space set, outside of a 1:1 reissue of 928 Galaxy Explorer. ACU Trooper • Ankylosaurus • Apatosaurus • Blue • Claire Dearing • Gray Mitchell • Indominus Rex • Lowery • Mosasaurus • Owen Grady • Pteranodon • Simon Masrani • Velociraptor • Zach Mitchell Welcome to my first review of 2019! I decided to ease in to 2019 with one of the smallest sets this year, but don’t let its size fool you, it’s already a very strong contender for Set of the Year. In Addition, LEGO Did not introduce the intact version of Benny's helmet until 2019 within the set 70841 Benny's Space Squad. It was also not made in blue until the release of the 2020 LEGO Ninjago set 71708 Gamer's Market.

For those that are unaware, each Classic Space minifigure colour denotes a specific role that each Spaceman specialises in: In the human world, when "The Man Upstairs" is looking for his X-ACTO knife, 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! is placed on a table by "The Man Upstairs". The 'classic space' era, 1978-1986, was a time when many of today's AFOLs were kids so the original sets hold a special place in many people's hearts including, it seems, the writers of The LEGO Movie who gave a classic space minifig Benny and his spaceship star billing in the film. Apu Nahasapeemapetilon • Bart Simpson • Chief Wiggum • Comic Book Guy • Coyote • Edna Krabappel • Grampa Simpson • Groundskeeper Willie • Hans Moleman • Homer Simpson • Itchy • Jebediah Springfield • Julius Hibbert • Krusty the Clown • Lisa Simpson • Maggie Simpson • Marge Simpson • Martin Prince • Mayor Quimby • Milhouse Van Houten • Mr. Burns • Ned Flanders • Nelson Muntz • Principal Skinner • Professor Frink • Rainier Wolfcastle • Ralph Wiggum • Santa's Little Helper • Scratchy • Snake Jailbird • Snowball II • Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Worker • Squeaky Voiced Teen • Waylon Smithers, Jr. Alfred Pennyworth • Aquaman • Bane • Batman • Brainiac • Commissioner Gordon • Cyborg • General Zod • Green Arrow • Green Lantern • Harley Quinn • LexBot • Lex Luthor • Maggie Sawyer • Jimmy Olsen • Lois Lane • Perry White • Robin • Superman • Supergirl • The Flash • The Joker • Joker Henchman • The Riddler • The Scarecrow • Two-Face • Two-Face Henchman • Wonder WomanIncludes 4 minifigures with accessories: Benny, Robo Emmet, Space Wyldstyle, and Robo Pilot, plus an Astro Kitty figure The three new LEGO Movie sets are now available from brand stores and shop.LEGO.com. DrDave and Kempo reviewed Emmet's Mech and Police Drop-ship last week. Now it's my turn to take a look at the third, perhaps the most anticipated set of the year among discerning AFOLs: 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!, to give it its full name.

The fourth astronaut is named Jenny. Her white suit appeared in 1978 and few alterations have been made. This helmet is more robust than the original design and the printing on the torso seems brighter than that seen on the earlier version, although that might be a partial result of age. Nevertheless, these minifigures are excellent and they come with a selection of traditional equipment, including a wrench, a radio and a metal detector. The second build is another familiar sight for fans of Classic Space – a simple two-seater Lunar Buggy. This is the second time Charlie Day did voice work for an animated film, as he previously voiced Art in Disney and Pixar's Monsters University.

Parts

In the Movie, The large missiles to Benny's spaceship are fully gray. But in it's set form, the head of the missiles are yellow. Benny's trademark in Master Building is anything "big, blue, and pointy"--as Bad Cop puts it--and compatible with technologies from the 1980s. In the recent trailer, it’s shown that in the sequel, his right arm has been replaced with a prosthetic metal arm, which indicates that his real arm was most likely lost during the invasion. Benny was among the most popular characters to appear in The LEGO Movie from 2014, as one might expect given his origins in Classic Space. This magnificent subtheme has remained iconic across four decades, inspiring great excitement following the announcement of 70841 Benny's Space Squad!
