10355: Blacktron Renegade Set Review
We’ve all had those fun moments when building a LEGO® set and finding a minifigure wearing a top sporting the logo of a classic theme or when we spot a bygone set referenced in sticker. For many years, LEGO designers have loved to sneak nods to past LEGO builds into newer sets.
