Space LEGOs of the ’80s
Perhaps one of my childhood’s greatest toy memories would be my massive collection of LEGO. So different from the run-of-the-mill stuff we had as a kid, LEGO could literally be anything you could imagine. Sure, they came in sets with directions, but when you were bored with whatever the instructions had you construct, all you had to do was smash it apart and make your own thing. My personal favorite LEGO sets were the ones that focused on Space exploration and travel and the myriad of machines and ships that could, someday, cruise the galaxy. The following gallery has many of the greatest Space sets from the 80’s, many of which I owned. Thank goodness my kids love LEGO too, so I can still create cool ships and stuff for them, as they build from their imaginations. Mine are still way cooler, though.
Wow, there are about 5 or 6 of them that I totally remember. Just can’t seem to figure out if I had them, or a neighbor did. My personal favorites were the knights though, but I never had those sets.
I had that one that walks (6940). I loved it! I still probably have the pieces in my dad’s basement somewhere.
Yeah, I have this huge Rubbermaid tub filled to the brim with assorted LEGO detritus and we love making our own vehicles and stuff. It’s fun with kids.
I still have my Space Blacktron after 20 years!
I found it at the bottom of an old Lego bag. It is fully working with all the pieces. The wings are a bit loose now though. They flap around when the front section ejects to go it alone in daring space missions ^_^
