I had no problem picking up this set because I've been intending to pick up some late gifts Christmas lol and this "free" little set was a great addition but it made me just feel a little bothered when the Black Tron cruiser rang up at the Lego store till as 30$. Why not have this set both be available for retail sale and as a "free" gift! Lego should just keep makin awesomeeee sets and make some of them free gifts, hmpft...

    I had a Blacktron minifigure in my first ever set in 1990 and that was Space Police 6781 SP-Striker, back in the time when Lego was still highly innovative working with sound and light, unlike today. It's nice to see that Lego is remaking some of those classics and I hope we'll be getting more of those.

    Blacktron I had already been ongoing when I got into the LEGO universe, but Blacktron II was the one of which I actually got to own an actual set (the tri-wheeled buggy). But my ultimate wishlist set was this Blacktron Cruiser that I kept flipping back to in my hand-down catalogs (without internet, those catalogs were the only place I could see them). This episode is massively nostalgic to me. Thank you!

Live the ship looks great, videos and photos somehow do not reflect its beauty. It reminds me a bit of the style of m-tron particle lonizer (slender silhouette, robot in the middle, detachable module, classic window), but it's rather my individual association ;)

    Cheesy Studios : I love your Logo, very original. Also, your review is one of the more balanced spot on reviews I've seen online. Love your calm demeanor and your knowledgeable, review to the era. I sold my entire 70’s 80’s 90’s 2000s collection back in 2021. Kept a few sets - The Blacktron Invader was a set I sold. New with Box and instructions. Although the GWP Cruiser is a direct update re- imagined, what strikes me about this reboot is that the pieces back in 1987 were so much cooler and stronger. 4 specific examples : 1) The Robot had a cooler body piece used at the time. 2) The middle cargo piece was a solid piece and was printed. 3) The clear red transparent panels in the back were nicer. 4) finally the black connector pieces were stronger and less flimsy then the clasps used in this update. (Technic) The motion arrows, were on the original showing where you could attach and take apart the pieces of the ship. At the time for Lego that was such a exit from their normal pallet of colors that they always went with. They rarely, if ever produced in black, accept for City Police - so it was a great variation to what they produced from the preceding 30 years........ You can view my collection being sold on Atlanta Brick 🧱 Company - 5-31-2021 OG Classic Star Wars Lego Hauuuuuul. There you will see the mint condition of half of my collection I sold. Including the original Invader.

    I'll definitely have to give that ABC video a look - sounds pretty epic! You bring up a lot of good points about the parts from the original. I love that weird control panel piece used for the robot body. I've been trying to collect more of those lately. I did wonder what the motion arrows were for, and that makes a lot of sense now! It would be so cool to mix and match all the classic stuff together.

However, I was disappointed to see stickers for this set as well. I do wish LEGO would've done printed for the Cruiser and any of the retro sets. You explained yourself well, but what did you mean about it would be hard for LEGO to reprint again? Meaning, they wouldn't run printed pieces for limited edition sets? I can't see how that would be so hard in 2023? Or am I missing a certain point?

    I got mine and it's a very lovely set, I'm happy to have it. I still feel for needing to spend almost 200 dollars, Lego should have printed pieces, at least the nose, the tile piece with the area, , the back slope with the logo and the console. If this was an every day set you can just buy at the store, I'd be alot more forgiving, but this is something very costly to get. But don't get me wrong, I'm not going to throw a fit or anything I am happy to see more classic remakes, and I hope we get even more!
