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 only major one being to give the thing some landing struts. Who wants a spaceship that sits with its belly (and its bottom engine) on the ground ?

I’d like the image of spaceship benny can print on a cell phone cover and wanted to ask if this is possible. 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.The piece numbers on this set are extremely low, at less than 70, but let’s face it, you’re not buying this set for the rudimentary builds, this is very much about the minifigures on offer. Aren’t they glorious? Benny’s Space Squad is made up of a colourful collection of clones with similar names, Jenny, Kenny, and Lenny and with the exception of their colour you can’t tell them apart.

There isn’t a great deal to say about the minifigures that you can’t already see, the colour being the only defining feature on the minifigures. That said, they do come equipped with different accessories. Surprisingly decent rigidity, given its hollow frame and dowel modular construction. As opposed to the solid plate frame of the ships I built 30+ years ago which were more rigid but weighed 2-3 times more for a ship with similar dimensions. 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. Then the early-mid 80’s happened. The not so smart switch from the blue/gray to white/blue color scheme that you noted. Plus other things like growing up, college, career, marriage, kids, etc. 🙂 I had no interest in Classic Space until this topic about Benny’s Spaceship came up. But I now find them sorta interesting. the old Lego is always strange to look at for me. The only Space themes I really like are Galaxy Squad and Star Wars, and that wasn’t until recently (2012-ish for SW).

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.

This ship could have been cut straight out of a 1980’s classic space set and you’d never know the difference and I LOVE IT. 13 pieces make up this beauty and every one of them has been used brilliantly to create something worthy of Benny’s spaceship obsession in this budget set. 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. My factory spec, by-the-book, spaceship lasted all of maybe one minute. I have made about two dozen changes, most of them relatively cosmetic.The movie is coming on in 5 minutes. So I’ll be building the thing while watching the movie. How cool is that ?
