Blacktron Returns to LEGO from the 80s with the Blacktron Renegade

The magic of Disney and LEGO collide as a new set of BrickHeadz sets are on the way to bring new and classic characters to brick form 

The 80s are calling as LEGO has surprised collectors with a new set from an old franchise that is surely a blast from the past. The Blacktron Future Generation series launched from LEGO in the late 1980s and was revolutionary at the time for its space theme. This series featured sleek black-and-yellow color schemes, creating a striking yet futuristic aesthetic for its time and kid's imaginations. As time went on, these space explorers stepped too far into the unknown, but a Black Hole has brought them back with a brand new set. Say hello to the Blacktron Renegade, a new 1,151 piece modular spaceship that comes in at 19" long.

LEGO was sure to bring back that original, asymmetrical Renegade design for this set while increasing the size of this updated ship. The set will also feature three Blacktron minifigures and a buildable robot, which will all feature that classic yellow skin. Everything you need for space exploration is also included, with a planet-rover drop pod, two wing-mounted space speeders, and a cockpit that holds two minifigures. To make things better, LEGO has also included the ability for Blacktron Future Generation series fans to rebuild the infamous Blacktron Alienator set! Space exploration is back on the menu in glorious 1980s style, and this set is already up for purchase now for $99.99 in stores and online!
