LEGO Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP Movie

Product Information

The price. Despite the low piece count, the minifigure collection alone sells this set. The extra builds are a bonus.

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 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 Just so you know mine popped after the second build not the third, as it states complete all master builds this must be cumulative. 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. 🙄 I’d like the image of spaceship benny can print on a cell phone cover and wanted to ask if this is possible.

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. 😀 Some people are really into old LEGO sets; some because they grew up with them, and others like them even if they were born later. (Like we talked about Fabuland the other day, which has a lot of young fans.) I also mostly prefer the newer themes, but there are also some old ones I really like; Classic Space, some Classic Castle, Fabuland… 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.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. 🙂 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 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.

If you are interested in LEGO Classic Space designs, I highly recommend the book LEGO Space: Building the Future by Peter Reid and Tim Goddard. It is full of amazing LEGO Space creations in the spirit of LEGO Classic Space, and even includes instructions for some of the models. (Below is a beautiful updated rendition of the #928 LEGO Galaxy Explorer by Peter.) I have reviewed this book previously here: LEGO Book – LEGO Space: Building the Future Home > Toys > Lego > Lego Movie > Lego set 70816 Movie Bennys spaceship Manual Lego set 70816 Movie Bennys spaceship 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. I started getting Lego Space stuff as a kid right on the tail end of the classic years before it shifted into Futuron with the newer space suit decos. Benny’s spaceship is glorious nostalgia with the benefit of modern Lego elements. 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.

More about this manual

I can hardly wait until the release of the #70816 The LEGO Movie Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! (yes, that is the official name), and in the meantime I have been looking over images of the upcoming set, as well as pictures of the old LEGO Classic Space sets Benny’s ship is based on. As we move further through the instruction booklet, the builds start to get a little more complex (though this is an exceptionally easy build). Our second retro build is a lunar buggy with the kind of the design you, yourself would have come up with if you’re a kid of the 80s. Not a complaint in anyway shape or form, it’s a wonderful homage to the hours I spent as a child building small-wheeled space buggy’s. The two biggest contributers to the discolouring of the plastic of Lego toys are long term exposure to sunlight and cigarette smoke. Try to minimise these when storing your Playmobil.

After I build a new Lego set I always have a few small pieces left. Did I forget to use them? Verified 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 ? 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 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.

I’ve never particularly liked classic space… I guess because, for one thing, I wasn’t around when it was, and given the huge amount of new pieces and even more than that, better techniques now used in sets, I look at the old sets and… well, groan at all those studs! They also strike me (at least the one above) as rather boxy (that looks wrong for some reason). The recreation there is fantastic though!
