LEGO The Movie 2 70841 Benny's Space Squad

Product Information

This action-packed building set features a spaceship toy with a minifigure seat and a lunar buggy with 2 minifigure seats. The second build is another familiar sight for fans of Classic Space – a simple two-seater Lunar Buggy. The quite detailed fire-engine with lots of play features (not Lego) doesn't get more love than the self-built "garbagetruck" (lego) wit no functions at all. The box art reveals that we can build a buggy type vehicle, as well as a small flyer, similar to the space scooter.

But they ended up in different roles, had different ranks, and some of them had names within the scope of the story. That's how it's happened for 25 years, 40 years in terms of Sentai, not counting Gokaiger or Toqger's changing suits gimmick). I may have watched Sci-Fi, but the stuff I designed and built were things like the Saturn V rockets or the Voyager probes. The introduction of Lenny now brings us to a total of 8 official LEGO Classic Space minifigure colours.

For those that are unaware, each Classic Space minifigure colour denotes a specific role that each Spaceman specialises in … Green – mech pilots? If you’ve seen the movie, you know that there’s a better version of Benny that I would have loved to see here. And then a couple of things happened: a couple of LEGO® Movie 2 sets arrived at home, and I was given a Lume Cube as a present. 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.

Anak: Kids might not relate to it much on a nostalgic level, but they’ll still likely be drawn to it by virtue of it being Benny and his friends. LEGO have been hiding teasers in plain sight on the box art of recent sets (Roller Coaster, UCS Millennium Falcon etc) and this collection of Classic Spaceships in the background of Benny’s Space Squad box art sure seems out of place. His name Lenny is also a nod to “ Charlene Robinson“, the character she played in the Aussie soap opera, Neighbours.review-70841-bennys-space-squad Everything you could ask in an inexpensive set, it manages to capture the feel and memories of what it was like to get a little set as a kid. This is a great set: I love the range of minifigures (although I almost want a non-preloved version of Benny – a typical Blue Space man. Kenny takes inspiration from that design, featuring a yellow helmet without a broken chin strap which appears nearly identical to its predecessor.
