Early bird: 80s Lego X-Wing
Added 2021-02-07 07:29:27 +0000 UTCUpdate: I was really pleased with how this turned out so for the public launch I'm going to do another YouTube "Premiere". Feel free to join me in the live chat this Saturday - check the video for your local time and to set a reminder. Maybe I'll see you then when we got brick to the future again!
Dear Supporters
Wow this video really kicked my bottom, but I'm so happy with the final result. The build took a lot longer than the "2 hours" it should really take due to some mistakes with the instructions provided by the creator, and some missing parts. I was able to improvise and resolve things in the end, and didn't focus on those negatives in the video itself as they've been corrected by him now and it's otherwise Star Wars-some!

I hope you love it and have fun!
Oh, and the new (old) featured song "The Way I Am" is now live at your private linky.
I mention a new home for the Brixty Four, but that is pending moderation so isn't quite live yet. It should be by the time this goes public next Saturday.
Thank you for your ongoing support! 👍🕹

That’s so nice to hear because this is one of my favourite videos so far, but unfortunately it’s not performing as well. I know exactly why that is and it’s because this isn’t my usual subject matter, but it is retro and I love it, and I’m glad you do too! Spaceship!

2021-02-18 02:33:41 +0000 UTCI've watched this video numerous times now, and I have to say, this was by far one of the most humorous and entertaining videos I've ever seen. 😄 I used to have various Space LEGO sets when I was a kid; but sadly, I don't remember what happened to them. What I DO remember, however, is building all sorts of cool sci-fi inspired spaceships (SPACESHIP!🚀), disassembling them (no disassemble!), then building new ones. I really wish LEGO would bring this line back officially, perhaps as a retro series collection. This was a wonderful video that really tugs at the nostalgic heartstrings, perhaps more than most. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the retro computing and gaming platforms featured on this channel, but even before I had a Commodore 64 (my first computer ever), there was my toy collection, which of course included LEGO. 😊 Thank you so much, Christian, for this amazing video, and take care. 🙂
