I love this model enough to have two of them. One is heavily customised and one is as intended.

Pros

Two detachable turret fighters

Baddy Octan Supersecret Police ship

Sneaky pop out technic launchers

It's in Classic Space colours (mostly, yeah the grey is difffent, I know ok)

Robots

Cons

Unikitty is always lame

Flick Fire missiles are flops!

Build experience - I enjoyed this very much I love the wing extender / technic launcher revealer mechanism. The fuselage is a little fragile and could have done with a bit more strength than mere technic pinned rounded sections provide as this is quite a heavy build, similar to the old Classic space style.

Parts - Some great inclusions sucha s the giant trans-yellow canopy, the blue slopes with Classic Space print, the other blue slopes, the classic style computers (Stickered in some cases). lots of blue and grey to relive the glory days,

Playability - It swooshes well enough. :-) It has stuff to shoot :-) it has a little baddy spaceship and minifig to fight. It's great fun. You need many Super Secret Police sets to deal with this bad boy.

Value for money - Not brilliant, but its got minifigs, Lucy looks cool in her classic space tracksuit, I like Benny but and unbroken version of his helmet would be nice to see.

Overall I think anyone can enjoy one and I love this set enough to have two.

Bought this as 2nd hand set at a good price. Its an excellent homage to Classic space and really got me in misty nostalgia. Finally decided to get this due to LEGO Movie 2's Benny Space Squad.

Model is very sleek and swooshable for an adult. An amazing set full of great ideas and innovative touches. Initially i thought I would take it apart to build my own spaceships but i think i might get another set to do that. Will keep 1 copy in this form. Although i did some small modifications, mainly to swap grey parts to blue parts, as i think more blue looks nicer.

The minifigs are all very cool. The black baddie spaceship is small and cute, nothing too special, but kids will love it. Very swooshable for them.

I hope LEGO comes out with a Blacktron 1 homage model soon. That would be amazing.

In conclusion, if you ever played with classic space, get this set!

I got it on a clearance, It was awesome to build it, It has some interesting techniques. I like that they chose the blue color scheme, even though the blue spaceman classic minifig wasn't that common with blue spacecraft back in classic space. The minifigs are awesome too btw, I just wish that emmet was In a space suit as well, but given the context and the timeline in the movie, Robot Emmet is fine.

As an owner of the original 'Spaceship' the Space Cruiser and Moon base this was a must have so I bought it for my 6yo Son which is close to the 7yo I was when I was given the Space Cruiser for Xmas in 1979.

i got my old Space Cruiser set out from my display cabinet and had it right next us with the Lego movie playing on the Tv whilst we built this set. It was a most memorable experience.

i thought it was going to an ok build but it turned out to be so much more than anticipated. It really is quiet big with plenty of compartments and movable features. I do however agree with some previous reviews when it comes to playability. It is prone to breaking so durability is less than desired. But easy to put back together though.

Seven minifigs on box is misleading. Only have four plus two robots and the Cat which are all built using regular pieces. Rather disceiving that one I'm affraid.

So in final Build was excellent, Is good value for money as set is quiet big, Is not the most playable set but is still fun flying (pretending) both this and my Space Cruiser around and it now rests right next to my Space Cruiser in my cabinet. Which by the way my two kids can excess and play with any set at any time. Cause as I have told them "If it breaks you just have fun putting it back together".

AFOL- Henno

I suppose I might be biased, because Benny is one of my all-time favorite characters. But I also tend to dislike building vehicles, so maybe it will balance out.

Overall, I think this set is a great value. There are a number of minifigures which are only available with this set. It also includes Robocop's ship and two mini-ships in addition to Benny's spaceship, which enhances the playability.

The main ship is surprisingly large. It has a number of neat details, such as computer screens, plenty of seats in the cockpit, and expanding wings. It also has four places for missiles that can actually fire.

Some of the build is a bit boring, but it's not particularly repetitive. There are stickers, but they're actually pretty easy to place and I didn't have much trouble with them. Some bits are a bit tricky and it's not the most stable set.

Despite the few minor issues, I love this set. I've built it several times and I love the way it looks. For display or play, Lego Movie fans will find this set a winner.
