Collectable minifigures series 26 revealed!

My two favorites are definitely the ice planet and Orion figures. I also like the retro space woman and the legs of the MTron remake. I'll probably skip the series except for ice planet, but even then I'm debating if it's worth it. I may just wait for DnD in September. It's not a bad series, I'm just not that interested in them.

I think the insectoid alien (on the bottom left of the article image) might also be an homage to the aesthetically similar aliens from Galaxy Squad."
Agreed. My first thought was that it’s a homage to the buggoids from Galaxy Squad.

"Been drooling over that dark blue Buggoid ever since these leaked. No interest in any of the other figures but I’m definitely gonna get quite a few of that Buggoid, Galaxy Squad’s awesome!"

Those guys were more mosquito-like and green tho

Also, I want to see more of the M-Tron guys robot arm. It looks like it attaches to the backpack.

The ray-punk girl and ROBOT DOG are awesome. Ice Planet DoomGuy and his SPACE PENGUIN is awesome. Mutant Blacktron guy with the monster leg and a double monster arm is awesome. PINK SPACE BABY is awesome.

Yep, gonna need the full set of these. Anyone know of a US-based website that sells complete sets?

Why, does this look "Lego Space" to you? :) To your question, it's the molds, colours and the Alien/non "human" heads which feels more fantasy than science fiction.

Why is no one talking about those funky LEGS??!?

I've had good luck ordering on ebay. You can usually pre-order them for just a small mark-up.

@elangab:
Really? 1 looks like an EVA rig NASA might use today, while also being a throwback to the Blacktron II thruster pack. 2 is like a 50's version of something you'd see in the MiB films, with tiny aliens wearing a human suit to blend in on Earth. 3 is a throwback to 8827, the classic "Grey". 4 is a throwback to 71018-11, the Retro Spaceman (inspired by stuff like the original Buck Rogers serials). 7 has a flying saucer helmet over a space field body. 9 reminds me of Robbie the Robot. 10 looks like a Galaxy Squad alien. 5, 6, 8, and 12 are obvious throwbacks to legacy Space themes. 11, a Greek constellation in minifig form, is the only one I see that leans more fantasy than sci-fi. On the other hand, like 7, it's a literal representation of Space in minifig form.

@Oli:
Supposedly regular trans-orange. And the bubble helmet on 9 is probably trans-bright-green.

@Fatsochillyfries:
It's hidden by the prints, but the hips, torso, and hands are all opaque. Only the legs, arms, head, hair, and accessories are transparent.

This can only mean, castle can’t be too far behind.

@AllenSmith:
I hit a Target a couple weeks ago, and all of the CMF boxes were encased in little security cases like you often see for movies. _If_ they were inserted into the cases correctly, there was a slot that the hang tab could fit through, so you could get just enough of a view of the 2D code to potentially scan it. If it got put in backwards, the bottom of the case was opaque, so it would need to be opened to get any sort of scan off the bottom, UPC or otherwise. So far, this is the only place I've seen these cases. Most Targets just put them in the checkout lanes where it's a little easier to keep an eye on them.

Also, just recently saw some of the Marvel 2 minifigs...and the boxes were clearly ripped open.

Looks like I will be sitting out on this round of Minifigs. Not a fan of this series

Disappointed Lego didn't take the opportunity to revisit Classic Space minifigures from the 1970s or 1980s in an affordable and easy to access way. Dissapointed there is no light blue Classic Space minifigure to complete my everyone is awesome space diorama. I'll get the pink space baby and give the rest a miss.

Pink Baby... That's what I want. And maybe the Ice Planet Lady. The rest doesn't interest me.

@Rabrickzel:
Based on the times I’ve been able to find S24’s that I can scan, Mushroom Girl and the Goatherd are two of the first to go.

I'm not much of a minifig collector, but I kinda want these....and I want them all!

Megatron, Blacktron and Iceplanet! That's good. However they look way worse than the prestigious originals. Why can't they be more faithful adaptions? Why do we live in a time where the new is worse than the old?

I see the alien tourist as “Paul” from the 2011 film (of the same name) voiced by Seth Rogen.
So will definitely get that one. The rest of the characters… well some are good others not so much.

Thinking of getting at least half of the wave:
M-Tron, Blacktron, ice planet, baby, insectoid and maybe the robot ( gotta love those legs ) .

Also nice to see a baseplate with a print! Twinkle twinkle

For me, probably the least interesting CMF series yet. I've got plenty of nice aliens from previous series.
Easy pass.

I like to populate my city with the CMFs. Only one usable (alien tourist) in this series, so to me it's disappointing.

@AllenSmith said:
"As a huge fan of every Lego Space theme prior to Exploriens, I can't separate the homage figures from their historical context. The M-Tron guy is the only one that really feels like a natural extension of what came before. M-Tron's heavy-machinery ethos fits well with him. But the Ice Planet guy feels all space-marines, the Blacktron guy is an animal mutant instead of a suave criminal mastermind, and the classic space-baby nurse is not Classic Space at all. They're all worth getting, but I think the other figures are actually more interesting.

But will I be able to get any? Between price increases and this foul new packaging, Lego seems to have nearly killed off CMFs. I only got two figures from the most recent series. The ones I found with data matrix codes were heavily picked through, the ones without data matrix codes were akin to setting money on fire, so I only got one I could absolutely verify by weight. Stores seem to be ordering a lot fewer of these things now, so the window to acquire has shrunk.

The old foil packs forced people to put in the labor to find figures, so there was more selection. The old prices meant there was more demand, so there was more supply. Now you either get nothing or the dregs. Boo."

Its like Lego is sneaking up on a certain IP theme that someone on the design and approval team at least would love to do with that space marine and chainsaw attachment.

There are a few I like, but some of them (like the first one) that just look like a complete random selection of parts to me. The problem is to get rid of those figures when buying random figures (which in my experience has been the cheapest way of getting all the figures I want).
Edit: well, maybe I need to get used to them. I already am, sigh...

"Dreadflipper will now have an army of robot penguin minions, thanks to the Ice Planet figure.

Spyrius robot got update in 9.99 Creator set.

Meh.

I second that.
To me this entire selection feels like a total hodgepodge. Nothing coherent, and especially the figures that try to appeal to the nostalgia fans disappoint all the way, since they don't feel as if they belong to those classic themes but are some kinds of weird mutants.
And yeah, a new space baby is always nice, but I had hoped there would be at least one new colour of Classic Space astronaut.
As it is I'll pass, since there's not a single figure I am the least bit interested in.
Plus, boxes instead of bags of course. "

In my case your opinion is realy out of place here! The nostalic factor is huge to me and i love that they did make them up to date. I realy like that they didnt include any classic spaceman! This gwp baby-series is of no nostalgic factor since the monorail was introduced by the futuron theme and not by the classic space theme. That aside, i am bored by these classic spaceman to be honest. Outdated design in my opinion. If they had included an regular old version of the blacktron, m-tron or ice planet minifigure i would be deeply disapointed!

Such a missed opportunity to update/ pay homage to the robot from Spyrius. The first minifigure with printed legs and one of my all time favorite minifigs!

In next Space CMF maybe Robby The Robot?

Seriously? Vidiyo Space series?
Alien and Policeman are cool but rest is so bland.

If we look at last series this one has lack of good accessories/animals imho.

New to this so forgive the question but..

Do the retailers know what's in each bag/box/wrapper? If I buy online, can I guarantee a whole set or do the retailers not know what's in each packet they send?

I've read moan and groans about duplicates and about some app (which is only relevant if you're actually physically in a store) but I'd like to know before I start ordering.

@Frobozz said:
"What's going on with the baseplates? Either they were *really* dusty when photographed, or there's a star field printed on them!"

Nice catch! Maybe the plates have glitter to make it look like stars in the black void of space?

Some decent and some vague that lack longevity for collection inclusion.

Forbidden Planet inspired robot?
Space cowboy (see Bravestarr/Galaxy Rangers)?
Cyborg horse?
Unitron toilet cleaner?
(Sorry Unitron)
Roboforce Mechanic?
Exploriens archaeologist?
Liquid metal alien?
Blob alien around trapped astronaut?
Spyrius in near total disguise?
Classic Space winged flight-mech in grey and blue with yellow visor?
Blacktron corporate suit with shrunken Futuron in jar?
Space Police K9 handler reissue with robot print dog piece?
UFO ‘hunter’?

There are some nice parts and torso prints, but overall not a very good series for me. Not enough to buy random boxes.

this is hit and miss for me. I like the lime green trophy's, pink baby, blacktron, transparent guy and nightsky suit guy. The rest is an easy pass for me

As for the GWP you are absolutely right of course, the Futuron line has nothing to do with Classic Spaceman minifigs. Why LEGO decided to mix those themes I don't know.

As for the design of the Classic Space figure, sure it's outdated, it's from 1979 after all.
The point is that it's a classic design that is loved by many, and adding one new colour variant via this CMF series would have made a lot of people happy, without taking away from the other figs in the series. A space baby just isn't the same thing.
And no one said that they should have included regular old versions of something like the Blacktron or M-Tron fig, but what they did here is so far away from those old ones that they don't feel like they could belong to those classic themes. Looks more like a space themed Halloween costume party where everyone dresses up as some space dude.

I really have to dig out my old catalogues from that time again since I don't remember that at all. I guess I just haven't looked at them in a really long time ;-)

I love them, I am getting Twoflower vibes from the alien tourist. Also the transparent galaxy guy sort of looks like the villain from Lego dimensions that we never got a minifigure for..

"I don't get the ambiguity, dislike, or flat-out hate from some commenters in this thread. This series is awesome! When I first heard that there was going to be a Space-themed CMF series, I was afraid it would be more homogeneous than this. I know some people would love a series of Classic Space minifigs in new colors, but that wouldn't have been to my tastes."
Well, you answered your own question from the beginning right there.
Personal taste.
This series apparently suits your personal taste, in which case I am happy for you.

To many others, myself included, the term "Space CMF" meant something else entirely, and maybe we got our hopes up too early, but to these people this series is the disappointment we described and for the reasons given.

Summing up, yes I do hate this series, but yes, I love that I don't have to waste my money on it.
Adding up the hate and the love should make for a neutral position towards this series for me.
Still, a little more on the disappointed side since I was really looking forward to it when I heard that space was the theme.
Guess this means something different to you and to me. Which is fine of course. Can't satisfy everyone all the time.
It's just that you shouldn't be wondering why so many dislike this series. "

I suppose you have a point. And hey, if a lot of AFOLs don't want to pick this series up, that just leaves more for me!

@Captain_Soybeard said:"Megatron, Blacktron and Iceplanet!"

It was called Megatron where you live? Maybe if and when I get that figure, I should keep it away from 10302. Oh wait, I don't live in Sweden.

https://minifiguresplus.com/ are my go to. They give great prices and options!

What is the guy on the top left? Does that reference something besides David Lynch nightmare fuel?

Also I want them all. Might have to order a whole set since the scanner never works for me (or all the boxes are opened).

"Not a horrible series, but... who the heck ASKED for this?"

I'm Space-Spartacus!"

No! I'm Space-Spartacus! ;-)

I'm all in for this one!

A few remarks and nitpicks:
I wish the M-Tron figure had a helmet with visor instead of the visor being the alternate face. It limits the army build options. The same is true for the Blacktron. That one feels even more like a unique person.

I had build a retro space scooter for one of the Lego Ideas competitions. The pilot was a female version of the retro spaceman 71018-11 (head swap). So I've been waiting for the retro spacewoman for a long time. At least six years.

I think Tourist Alien is one that can pop up in any display at any time. I wonder if the yellow shirt with colourful patterns is a nod to Alf. Alf had a similar shirt in his cartoon series and it was also included with his Neca figure.

I didn't like the bulky look of the Ice Planet figure at first, but now I think it goes well with the helmet.
Love the Space Penguin!

UFO costume figure will most probably become some cosmic entity.

Babysitter robot can definitely become Robotica M.D.
More Space Babies in different colours please!

A Futuron figure would have been nice. The Space Police Guy 71029-10 already had a nice updated torso for it.

The only one I absolutely love is the Alien Tourist--he's adorable!

But there are some other strong figures here as well--Orion is really neat, and the Retro Space Girl (with robodog!) is cute. I'll be curious to see which ones my kids gravitate towards--I know my 8 year-old is going to want that pink space baby!

Like most CMF series, there's a little bit for everyone, which I think is great!

Love this whole series. The "Human being" is funny, M-Tron is a nice modern take, and FINALLY getting an actual insectoid is wild.

Ice Planet is by far my favorite.

Great parts in Blacktron, Orion, and budget Cortana too!

I guess it's cool that these aren't licensed or too bland but this isn't really classic space in fact some aren't even lore accurate. Was expecting better after the lacklustre City & Technic Space sets that everyone has been hyping up as a return of the Space theme.

I really do envy Lego Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter fans.

@kdu2814 said:

It's a human-sized mech being piloted by a tiny alien like the two hanging out with him. Like that one guy in Men In Black.

Well, I remember. :-) I did have to doublecheck to see if I remembered correctly, but turns out I did. The last wave with classic spacemen were still on shelves when Futuron sets were first released (around the time when I got my first blue spacemen), and even a good while after that, but they were phased out of catalogs by the time Space Police showed up. I guess those Blacktron goons chased them away.

Human shaped exo-suit being piloted by tiny aliens like the ones he’s holding. The head is double sided, normal human on one side, “opened up” to reveal the alien at the wheel on the other. The dudes Edgar the Bug was trying to steal a galaxy from are probably the closest reference, with the way the face reveals them, but other examples include the Eddie Murphy-bot from that one film he did (I want to say Meet Dave?) or the time-travelling Hitler-hunting robot from that one episode of Doctor Who

I have figures from every CMF series but this is the first series where none are so enticing that I want to buy them.

I don’t have Blacktron or M-Tron nostalgia. I’m over the Classic Space babies. I like the tourist alien and the robot penguin. I think the transparent Orion is the most inventive. But none of these match the creativity and design of previous series to make me want to spend money on them.

I kinda want to give a more in-depth analysis of my thoughts on each fig.

1. If that's not a Men In Black reference, I don't know what is. I'm hoping there'll be an alternate, relatively more "normal" face. Also the tiny alien trophies look fun!

2. The leg piece looks interesting, but other than that it isn't that exceptional.

3. This will pair perfectly with that retro spaceman from a few series back! Hopefully it doesn't drive up the price of that minifigure though. The robo-dog is an interesting concept but... I dunno, I feel like the dog mold is too organic for a robot.

4. Sure everyone is excited for the return of M-Tron! I'm really interested in that robot arm piece. Hoping that the white-on-red leg printing won't be Commander Fox all over again though...

5. This is super interesting. Not only do you have a starry minifigure outfit, but you also get a versatile head in bright green!

6. This is so cute! I, like many others, want to get more of these for an army of classic aliens!

7. Everyone compares this to Galaxy Squad, but I'm just not seeing it. Nevertheless the figure looks amazing!

8. This one is by far the least interesting of the line. It's literally just a City astronaut with extra steps. That being said though, I really hope those cheese slopes are printed. Might be the only thing that can redeem this minifigure for me.

9. Everyone is understandably excited for the return of Ice Planet! Curious to see what the face looks like. And the penguin is super fun too!

10. I'm half excited and half disappointed. On one hand, it's nice to get Blacktron 2 stuff. But on the other hand, there's no way to fully complete this minifigure, either in full astronaut mode or full mutant mode. The asymmetrical double-arm bugs me the most, because we probably won't ever get a left double-arm in lime green ever again. Please LEGO, just make a spsce theme with four-armed aliens already, so we can see this part's full potential!

11. A transparent minifigure is super exciting! Also, the shield will pair perfectly with the one from the Night Protector!

12. PINK SPACEBABY

The Teselecta was the humans-piloting-human-robot from the Doctor Who episode 'Let's kill Hitler' and (SPOILERS!) 'The Wedding of River Song'. I think it was also a time machine in itself.

SPACE PENGUIN!! Space baby!!

You make great points but the last bit about collectors in their 40s who remember M-Tron and Futuron is the best because I was born in 1999. I actually wanted Space 2024 sets to be like classic space because I never got to experience it when I was a kid. My expectations were a new faction that could be a great addition to the existing lore.

I'm going to want a Blacktron corporate suit with a shrunken Futuronist in a jar for the rest of my life now. That would have been 20x better than the Blacktron mutant too.

"You must have missed out on pretty much all of LEGO space since the 1990s. The 90s sets often feature regular minifig heads with alien printing - Insectoids etc. Then from 2000 onwards specially molded heads in Life on Mars, Space Police 3, Galaxy Squad and Alien Invasion.

So for the majority of the time we’ve had LEGO space there have been Alien heads and molds. There’s more to Space than just Classic"

You're over thinking it. Fully aware of these sub-themes, I didn't like them as a kid and as AFOL. I have some of these figures still and find them weird and off-putting. I was just expressing my opinion, and yes - I would rather have "humans" than these Aliens. No big deal, yes it's "Lego Space" which is cool, but as a CMF series I think is not their best. Generally speaking, I don't collect/enjoy non "human" mini-figures, just my personal preference.

@lordofdragonss:
I don’t see a single minifig that would look out of place in a standard City layout. Cities have movie cameras, don’t they?

@Fatsochillyfries:
Hips and hands have slender stems that are likely to snap. Torsos have weld lines in the armpits, and those are huge stress points. _Maybe_ if making the torso/hips out of MABS means there’s no difference between opaque/transparent strength, those could turn transparent as well, but I think hands are PE. There’s no transparent equivalent for that material.

Well, you got nostalgia early then. ;-)

I totally get what you're saying, but I think it's unlikely to get Classic Space-style sets at retail that aren't targeted at an older audience, unless if there's a movie or videogame attached, as was the case with The LEGO Movie 2 Classic Space-styled sets.

Outside of that, I think there isn't a lot of interest for Classic Space-style sets with 4 to 12-year olds. If there was, I'm sure would be making those. Same reason why we see so few castle sets at retail: it's mostly the 18+ crowd who's picking those up. Kids gravitate more to Harry Potter and other franchises they're familiar with.

The minifig, whose body is black with stars, and green head on a saucer within a transparent dome, being a flying saucer, is different and sort of interesting.

As for the GWP you are absolutely right of course, the Futuron line has nothing to do with Classic Spaceman minifigs. Why LEGO decided to mix those themes I don't know.

As for the design of the Classic Space figure, sure it's outdated, it's from 1979 after all.
The point is that it's a classic design that is loved by many, and adding one new colour variant via this CMF series would have made a lot of people happy, without taking away from the other figs in the series. A space baby just isn't the same thing.
And no one said that they should have included regular old versions of something like the Blacktron or M-Tron fig, but what they did here is so far away from those old ones that they don't feel like they could belong to those classic themes. Looks more like a space themed Halloween costume party where everyone dresses up as some space dude.
"

To me those 3 minifigs are just the right approach for a reboot of any of the 3 themes. This Fractions all have evolved from the 90's. In my opinion TLG does everything right on those 3. To be honest, i couldnt care less about the others...

Sorry, i totaly disagree! The new city space theme is soooo Futuron II, i cant beljeve it. I own the 4 smaller sets 3 each and i am loving that theme. I wont buy the 3 large sets as i am building my own base and this research rover is just bad compared the the small one.

As i am an adult, to me this theme is aimed at me and i hope TLG continues original space themes! Foremost under the city line. I do not like that its city by the way.. Why it cant be just space?

Love most of these, I just think another series is too soon after the previous one, unless this is the last of the year, if not I'm worried it will be a quarterly thing.

only it's not Exploriens, but Blacktron. Easy to confuse, anyway

Whilst I do appreciate the desire from some quarters for a Classic Space version of Everyone is Awesome - I've never seen a set of CMFs I've wanted more. I think only one of these isn't great, and that's easily enough to go for the lot.

The Ice Planet fig in particular is great - although I may have to bricklink a Trans-neon orange chainsaw for him! My only regret here really is that there isn't a Spyrius fig - someone above has pointed out that the Spyrius droid was the first fig with leg printing and it seems a shame not to represent that, but there we are. For the first time, I'll be happy buying blind!

glad folks dig it but the tourist is the only one i care for, so a-bricklink-ing i will go. yay says the wallet! no ordering a bunch of random boxes for this wave!

Oh, so 70841 then. There's a reason I bought three of it."

70841 was great (I should definitely have bought more). But, the set was plagued with one serious flaw: the blue classic spaceman is all messed-up: his face is wrong, his helmet is wrong and his torso is wrong (which makes 25% of the set wrong). The other 3 minifigs are proper.

Now, Lego can remove the spacecraft and space buggy as well as the robot and sell them by box of four: box 1: (red, white, yellow, black) box2: (blue, green, orange, light blueish gray), box3:(pink, brown, purple, lime green) box4: (magenta, sand green, sand blue, dark red), box5:(teal, aqua, dark blueish gray, tan). Hey, Lego hear this now, all the 'creative' work has been done - you only have to press the button to produce it now...
(if this is still too much work for you, just make all the parts available on pick-a-brick, fans will take it from there)

@HOBBES:
Ooh, no thank you. I've got enough brown ones from palping packets to get an army of Baby Bennies. I absolutely don't need an even bigger pile just for going after an army of Dark-Purple Spacemen.

Ok, so it may just be me, but I immediately thought of the DOOM slayer when I saw the ice planet guy.

Yeah, I suppose the colours would have to be mixed a bit more - box one may be less interesting because many people have the white and red ones already, yet the black one is the rarest.

That said, I doubt Lego will just take this and run with it. But if they want, they can mix the colours and make my proposal completely different and claim they thought about it themselves - I'm fine with that too.

*sigh* Even though I'd already read your comment earlier tonight, when I scrolled up and saw the last line said "planet guy", I fully expected the line above it to end in "pizza". Hopes dashed...

@HOBBES:
If they'd actually do five boxes, or even four, the sensible thing to do would be to spread out red, white, yellow, dark-pink, orange, and reddish-brown as widely as possible. Specifically, white (being in _two_ sets) should not accompany any of these other colors, but should only be packed with colors that are either completely new, or ones that need to be figbashed like dark-purple, green, or light-bley. Except what makes even more sense would be to just make one of these boxes four different shades of purple.

What a waste! They only do so many a year and this?! Noooooooooooo!

"I would be very frustrated and disappointed by this CMF set - IF Lego hadn't previously released a pink classic space figure... and an orange one... and a green one... and the Benny's Space Squad set, and the Rocket Boy with the light bluish gray space torso, and the alien with the purple space torso. And the blue space baby and the blue and white mini classic space figures. And the red and white reissue figures in 10497 Galaxy Explorer.

They've released a ton of classic space themed figures, and so it makes sense that we get interesting riffs on M:Tron, Blacktron II, and other creative bits like the pink space baby and space penguin. To me this series does what CMFs are supposed to do: supplement existing lines, not be a Battle Pack for your preferred specific sub theme."

Very well put. CMF series are a chance for Lego to try interesting things with minifigs. They always have a certain variety to them, and catering to a specific sub-theme would be a bit odd.

I saw the leak months ago, but I have to say I'm disappointed, the only ones I'm potentially interested in are the ice planet and dark blue alien.

Maybe interesting to know because i read several times in this thread that the spyrius robot, called major kartofski by the way, was the first minifig with printed legs. That is new to me but what i know for sure is that Dr. Kelvin (female ice planet astronaut) was the first female space minifig. So hopefully that ice planet guy is a female!? Who knows?

I realy hope that there will be readable qr codes on the boxes like the last cmf had. That worked realy good to be honest!

Iunno, to me the new City Space sets really scream more or less "Classic Space Prequel". In my mind they fit perfectly as essentially the historical predecessors of whatever the Classic Space astronauts' organization is, taking its first steps into the wider galaxy/universe.

My initial reaction is "I don't like" because of the garish colours and haphazard style of the collection.
But then I look more closely at the individual figures and think "That's kinda cool/unique" so I think this grow on me.
Anyone else disappointed the LEGO changed the CMF sets from 16 to 12 figures?

Thank you and Brickalili and Murdoch17. All I could think of was Ms. Palmer from Twin Peaks season 3!

Love all the complaining here that the series is not nostalgic enough. Must. resist. the urge. to. make. fun. of. a bunch of middle-aged AFOLs who waste their time complaining that LEGO does not give them exactly what they want.

Instead: I just sit here and am incredibly happy looking at this, because: transparent orange chainsaw, baby!!!! (and a pink space baby, a robot penguin, a completely transparent purple minifig, a UFO helmet,....). I.o.w., I love the creativity and sheer fun on display here, with just that tiny bit of nostalgia thrown in.

Wow, I am so curious what Blacktron 2, M-Tron and Ice Planet 2002 would look like now with this take on them. They're so much edgier! I hope some retail sets follow but I'll definitely have to track these down.

The whole lot is great though.

@B_Space_Man:
Keeping in mind that they have an entire design team who handles the CMF line, can you imagine the raised eyebrow they’d get from their supervisor if they turned in an entire wave that was just copy/paste run through a color filter?

Based on the insert, female, primary red hair, and a promotion to boot.

@Brickodillo:
The molds already exist. Can you imagine how cool it would be if you randomly got left-handed vs right-handed versions?

Cute. I'll want them but this isn't a set I'll be going to the store and trying to grab all in one wave.

Looking at the low res pic I said meh. Now I realized I need each and every one of them.

all meh except for Orion

That minifig set was awesome. Have two of those. I don't even mind Benny being in there, despite I already have him in other sets as well. without his inclusion in those movies, we might not've even seen any Classic Space stuff on shelves at all. And yes, 70816 is an amazing SPACESHIP! So plenty of Classic Space in the past decade, despite it not being a full theme.

Interesting take. I'd say it's more of a revamp than a precursor, but whatever fits your story is obviously great. Curious what it is that mutated that poor Blacktron II dude. Maybe something of what M-Tron was mining?

So this will satisfy most peoples Space CMF itch, but does it mean that a Castle CMF series is on the horizon?

they'd be unmeasurably foolish not to make at least one of those with the most popular villagers. I figure they're saving K.K. Slider for a set though...

curious anyone know what big castle gate goes too, it is about size hand?

I don't like this series at all. The realistic astronaut in the spacewalk suit (there's a proper name for those) is the only one of even mild interest. Great to see the Trilby hat being used, but of course they had to make it in a bright, weird colour so less uses.

I agree with those that compare this to Dreamzz. It's so... random? Most of these I don't even know what they are supposed to be.

There aren't many references to previous Space themes and those that do, such as M Tron and Ice Planet, are too way out in my opinion relative to the originals.

It's also a shame there's no regular space minifigures besides that lady astronaut, would've been nice to see some historic space related minifigures such as Gemini or Mercury mission type space suits, maybe a Yuri Gargarin-esque minifigure, a NASA style test pilot, scientist (maybe with some 1960s black thick frame glasses), etc.

I was pretty excited. I love ice planet, Mtron and Blacktron, but something seems off to me.
Why is the M-Tron guy raging? They were peaceful.
Blacktron looks cool, but why a mutant?
Ice planet guy looks pretty hardcore though, maybe he's a miner compared to the others? I don't know. I mean he looks look but a little too hardcore somehow? Cool penguin.

Icecream robot looks hilarious btw.

Maybe I'm just getting too old for this. I'll likely still go out for them though. Love me some space.

My problem hasn't been the connection I was working with, it's been that I couldn't find a box with a code that Bricksearch could recognize; every box I saw had one of the smaller codes.

@Darth_TNT said:"Icecream robot looks hilarious btw."

I think that's supposed to be dough; if it was ice cream, he'd probably have a spoon.

@Darth_TNT:
Well, consider how many decades M-Tron has been kicked around because they’re only armed with magnets. Now they have clamps, too!

With Blacktron, there’s been a lot of weird stuff. Rench had the OG suit with a B2 logo. S3 had Space Villain with a black suit, a B2 logo, and pretty much his entire right side is cybernetic. S19’s Galactic Bounty Hunter has a black suit with the original logo, but he’s also an alien. And S11’s Evil Mech is all B1 logos, but some of the coloration is B2. Really, the only basic Blacktron minifig they’ve done in recent years is from the GWP set.

Well, it's been a couple of days, one of which I spent bedridden, and I'm both closer to and further from understanding the "all bad!" reactions than before. Closer because now I see what some of y'all wanted this to be, and further because... how in the world did you convince yourselves that was a reasonable expectation? Is this your first CMF series?

oh this series looks incredible

Love the Ice Planet and Orion figures, will there be a way to get them specifically in the states? (Assuming I ever actually see them in stores)

So many questionable choices. I only see 3 figures that are worth getting, with M-Tron being the best one (IMO). Blacktron II fig is a mutant, and it looks cool. I hope we get a modern regular figure soon, too.

The baby is clearly from classic space, so why isn't the babysitter in a similar outfit too?
Overall, I think my biggest disappointment is the Ice Planet one. It does not capture the feel of the originals, IMO.

These are just my initial observations. Maybe I'll change my mind about some of them, after they're fully spoiled.

I think now a days the set up for Blacktron is line Cobra in GI Joe or the evil New Gods at DC Comics, they have core and specialized troopers and they have unique/individual specialists, elites and officers.

Wow! This is objectively a really great series of Lego figures. The sheer number of comments on this thread is evidence enough of that. I don't understand any of the negative opinions here, which are surely in the minority.

I'm in for these! Usually I don't branch out much from Star Wars, but this year's City Space theme got me excited. That new walker exo-suit set with the purple crystals is GREAT. It made me realize that I also have the Space Miner from CMF Series 12 with his pseudo-Lego Space shoulder logo, and now he fits right in alongside the new exo-suit in a display, when I never had a use for him before. This Space CMF series reminded me that I also have the retro spaceman from CMF Series 17, and now it would be fitting to pull the pink retro space lady with her cyber dog to complete their family!

I think almost all of these figures would be fun to pull, some would be welcome multiples too. I never had any of the older space themed sets, but my brother had Ice Planet stuff, so this armored dude with his penguin is instantly recognizable. Not sure why people have any sort of negative reaction to the updates they've given these older themed figures. Are they not still perfectly recognizable as Ice Planet, M-Tron, and such? Even I think so. The idea for the Orion figure is also the coolest, and he's in trans pearl purple!

I think I like the dark blue alien and the Ice Planet guy the most, but I'll just buy some random boxed figs from this series and have fun!

I LOVE THE PENGUIN!

"The baby is clearly from classic space, so why isn't the babysitter in a similar outfit too? "

The babysitter is a robot, so I think it's pretty normal that it isn't wearing a spacesuit.

Preordered a complete set of these on ebay (for the first time), want all of the minifigs in this series.
Really don't like the change from bags to boxes that Lego has made so went the ebay route this time, which only ended up costing 3 cents extra per figure over the regular $4.97/figure price (definitely not going to spend lots of extra money buying tons of blind boxes to try and complete the series). Love the MTRON, Ice Planet, Blacktron II and pink spacebaby.

When announced, I was excited.
When leaked, I was disappointed.
When revealed, I am mixed…

Personally, I’d like to have seen at least one single minifigure related to Classic Space, beyond the SpaceBaby. They couldn’t have offered just one figure with the Classic Space Logo on the chest? How about a Space Police minifigure in a new color as that line doesn’t get a lot of attention and I like the 50/50 torso prints and red visors. If they wanted to be boring, they could have given fans of Classic Space a new color, at the very least. If they wanted to be creative, they could have offered a modern twist on the classic design.

Oh well, since there isn’t proper Classic Space representation, the ones I like the most are Mtron, Blacktron and Ice Planet (mostly for nostalgia) along with the City real-world Space Suit and the Retro (Flash Gordon) Female Space figure that pairs nicely with a prior CMF series. BTW: I love the “Robbie The Robot” Legs from Lost In Space. Is that a new element? Give me segmented arms a robot lantern head and I’m in heaven!

Overall, it’s a creative mix, but that is likely why myself and some others are not as excited as we could be as the series is a bit, too creative vs. consistent within the theme. Will pre-order a box, just for the heck of it. Easier than searching!

Seems to be something for everyone in the set, so let’s enjoy them!!!

If I'm not wrong, almost every Blacktron minifig in the modern era (in a sci fi setting, as opposed to the logo on tshirts) has either been robot/cyborg or alien, like 8803-6, 71002-4, the alien in 5981, and 71025-11.

True! “Space Police” was well after my time, but I’ve gone back to collect one of each color. I have the CMF you referenced. With the armor off, he’s really good!
