Despite that the initial line only consisted of 4-5 regular vehicles, (The Meteor Monitor feels a bit off to be part of the line-up) and one base, the line maintans a large fanbase. To be very honest with you I don’t think Benny’s Spaceship is the best LEGO ship ever, or that it even lives up to the legacy of the LEGO Classic Space sets (besides the color scheme). Yes, I will get it as soon as it gets released, but I’m already planning on how to modify it – which is of course totally in line with the spirit of The LEGO Movie, and I also know little Benny is going to help me out. 🙄 The mixture of grey, blue and yellow pieces means that this guy looks like he belongs in a retro space movie with Benny by his side. The arms can be rotated and, of course, you can also set the lever-piece antenna to whatever angle you need. Other than this, however, you’re going to need a bit of imagination power for playtime here. Lunar Buggy

I personally am not a fan of Benny’s spaceship. I don’t like the classic space sets either, they seem to be very un sci-fi’y…… The GS sets where really great since they had a sci-fi feel to them, but the Classicc space and Benny’s spaceship just don’t have good designs….. Space is the theme that looks the worst compared too modern designs. Many modern Lego instructions include a part list at the end of the booklet. In the case of multiple booklets the list might be found in the middle of the PDF. I’d like the image of spaceship benny can print on a cell phone cover and wanted to ask if this is possible.I’ve not built anything with Legos for 30+ years. But, after all this time, I did manage to save 3 intact original creations of mine built with Classic Lego Space parts. They have not been changed since 1982. Catalog > LEGO Instructions > The Movie > 1 > LEGO Benny’s Spaceship Set 70816 Instructions > LEGO Benny’s Spaceship Set 70816 Instructions Viewer LEGO Benny’s Spaceship Set 70816 Instructions Viewer I give it another 24, maybe 48, hours before I completely disassemble it and combine it with the parts from one of my Classic Space creations.

Just so you know mine popped after the second build not the third, as it states complete all master builds this must be cumulative.

LEGO Classic Space is still a favorite of many LEGO fans both young and old, and is very much alive. Including Benny in The LEGO Movie is a touching commemoration of the original LEGO Space theme, and releasing an updated spaceship is making LEGO Classic Space fans dreams come true! I’m positive that Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! is going to be gobbled up as soon as it gets released. 😀 Most Lego sets are suited to play with from age 4 and up, because of the small parts they include. The special Duplo theme is suited for children aged 1,5 and up. The recommended age is always mentioned on the box. The most iconic LEGO Classic Space set is the #928 LEGO Galaxy Explorer released in 1979. There were also a couple of smaller ships designed in the same style and released the same year; the #918 LEGO Space Transport, and the #924 LEGO Space Cruiser. Many other sets came out of the LEGO Classic Space line all the way to 1986, when although the same logo remained, the color-scheme changed from gray & blue to white & blue. I don’t so much like the later sets, but the earlier ones are some of the best LEGO sets ever designed. Once this is all done you need to continue with the level, once you are able to build each part of the ship (master build this is high lighting three things green), you do this for all three with Benny of course once the last one is complete! Upon getting a new set, I would build the new ship per the instructions. Then look at it for maybe 10 minutes. Then take it apart and build it differently. Or even better, combine the parts with other sets to come up with a unique creation of my own.
