    Welcome to the LUG! We’ll be at the Ross Park Mall all day on the 28th if you have a chance to stop by and say hi. Which new LEGO themes are you interested in?

    Hey Renee.

    Thanks. I just may do that! I live about 3 hrs away but try to get there every few months. Just something about a Lego store. Haha.

    I love the modular / creator , icons and ideas themes. Iโ€™ll have have a spot in my heart for classic space.

    I have so much to learn since not being involved for so long. Iโ€™ve been building some of my sets from when I was a kid, and if nothing else โ€ฆ the instructions sure have come a long way!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Hi Rachel. Welcome to the group!

    We have a lot of classic space fans here. I’m loving the new space throwbacks that have been coming out and looking forward to the Blacktron Cruiser.

    You’re so right about the instructions. It’s like find the differences in the old sets. ๐Ÿคฃ

    Where are you located?

    Hi Krista.

    Thanks for the warm welcome. ๐Ÿ™‚ Iโ€™m located in the very small town of Ridgway. I build my old set, 6941: Blacktron Battrax aka: Blacktron Prowler this weekend. Still looks great after all these years.

    Blacktron was my first series I really got into and collected almost everything…except the prowler lol.

    Then it was the original Space Police. Now it’s UCS Star Wars mostly. Awesome to see a fellow Blacktron lover!

    I think the Blacktron theme is so eye catching. Like it was the only was to make a Lego theme intimidating back in the day. Haha. All black. Way before minifigures got facial expressions. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Speaking of Blacktron, was sorting pieces from old bins in my closet from years past and found these 2 guys.

    When I was there 2 weeks ago, was a bit disappointed by the PAB wall so hopefully they have restocked some. But got several black pieces for my Vader idea!

    Yeah Disney … gets way too much of my money. haha. I’m an AP holder (or was). I was there in August and the previous October and I hate to say it, just wasn’t what it has been. First time in forever I didn’t renew my Annual Pass. I need to take a year off I think. haha. Enjoy your trip! I do love it this time of year. What is your “home” resort. I always try and stay at YC or BC but last trip was at the Poly. I sure missed walking into Epcot later at night to get some adult beverages. haha

    I stayed at the Yacht Club years ago (my wife had a business meeting at Disney) and it was so nice to just walk over into the Country showcase area of Epcot (I love me some Yorkshire County Fish & Chips). We went to Disney Springs last April and there was a line just to get into the Lego Store (they were still limiting the number of guests in the Store). I did not bother because it was hot that day.
