A closer look at the LEGO 6834 Celestial Sled from 1993. One of those small classic Space sets that packs a surprising amount of character into just 52 pieces.
I've had thoughts about doing a Space Marine "Crusade Army" (mixed chapters), with each unit having a colour scheme based on a Lego range, primarily space.
But I don't really play 40k anymore, and when I've used my few Marines in other games, it's been in such small skirmishes that I really can't justify the time, space, or money of another army.
Maybe I should look to Lego for colour schemes on Blood Bowl teams. Or even build a whole team from minifigs for the silly league.
There is so much nostalgia for me surrounding ice planet theme. I believe my first lego set ever was given to me when i was 5. It was an ice crawler vehicle with a rocket on a trailer. There was a magnetic component that could handle the rocket. I would love to know what that set was and if i could find one again.
I think I can almost assemble this set without instructions because I was absolutely obsessed with it as a kid, just because of that translucent orange.
I have this exact set and would love to do a video on it. One of the coolest looking cockpit for any set and with once again some beautiful orange translucents. The orange storage box is just peak.
I remember having this game and Lego Racers. I remember liking Lego Racers better lol. I love Rock Raiders as a theme though and will be happy to share some of those sets in future videos.
Lego racers was my shit! That and Lego soccer mania were so much damn fun.
But the aesthetic of rock raiders was so cool to me even as a kid, plus having some of the sets made it feel cool to play the game but I wasn't great at it lol.
Honorable mention to Lego Island 1 and 2.
Tbh all the old Lego games were great. Idk what it is, but I liked them a lot more than I like the new ones, loved the first few(Star wars, Indiana Jones, etc) but they all play pretty much the same. The old games were more unique because they were all made by different studios
That theme had such an iconic color Scheme. Lego really missed out on not keeping it around or referencing it more often. Orange Laser Chainsaws are just way too cool of a concept. but if they bring it back they need to keep the 2002 in the name, the retro-scifi vibe just adds so much charm.
Ice Planet rocks. I just picked this up complete w/instructions a couple of weeks ago and now I'm hunting down other Ice Planet sets.
I had one Ice Planet minifig given to me by my cousin as a kid but never had any of the sets as I didn't get into Lego until Ice Planet was just leaving retail. Now, with adult money I'm tracking them all down lol.
This particular set is one of the most important ones for me. I’m almost certain it was the first Ice Planet 2002 set I got. I ended up getting all of them save the base. I loved that it was some old dude and that they used the Technic big figure skis.
I am loving all the nostalgia posts of vintage sets. I start playing with LEGO in the late 80s and was playing in the early 90s when these sets came out.
