Blacktron Returns As A LEGO GWP Set
As we head into 2023, the 90th Anniversary of the LEGO Group may be ending but that doesn’t mean the return of classic sets has. In January, Blacktron will be making a return as a GWP set.

Images of the set have been added to LEGO.com and spotted by Jay’s Brick Blog. The set is...
Creating A Purple Astronaut Just Got Easier

10497: Galaxy Explorer Set Review
LEGO® Classic Space, as it has become affectionately known, has been one of the most enduring LEGO themes.

As part of the 90th-anniversary celebrations, the LEGO Group gave fans the opportunity to vote for which classic...
