Shame about all the stickers, I had hoped for the consoles to be prints at least. The only readily-available modernized classic sets are $100 and $400 which, to a lot of people, is quite a hefty chunk of change. The alternating yellow and black stripes along the spacecraft's flanks are attractive and return from the original vessel, like the angular cargo section. However, perhaps the most recognisable features of the classic set are its trans-red fins, which were historically represented by trans-red 2x6 double wedge plates. Trans-red tiles covering opaque plates are less effective, but the fins still appear eye-catching. Cruise Hive was established back in 2008 and among the earliest blogs in the industry.

Are you going to come into my house while I'm asleep, and apply them to your strict definition of "correct"? You have forgotten the face of Emmet Brickowski and the very message of the Lego Movie. The 6954 instructions show the 'official' combinations of modules between the sets. As others have pointed out, the reversed connections on 6894 mean that its cockpit goes on the back, rather than the front, of the other models' chassis -- either reversing their direction of travel, or ending up with a cockpit at each end. Lego knows full well whether it's more profitable for them to market a particular set as a GWP or as retail.
Cruise Fan Builds Massive LEGO Carnival Ship Model
From October 30, 2021 to April 2022, AIDAprima will head for various major cities in Western Europe from Hamburg. If you fancied a cruise on the AIDA Prima they depart Kiel, Germany, every Saturday for a week long cruise right up until the 23rd October. She’ll then explore the Baltic Sea, Copenhagen, Visby, and Stockholm areas, finishing with various cities in from April 2022.
The world’s first Lego store onboard a cruise ship
Despite major differences between this vehicle and its forebear, the cruiser's essential streamlined shape and sinister colour scheme remain instantly recognisable. Moreover, the modular structure of the earlier spacecraft is replicated and actually improved here, so this promotional set could prove exceptionally popular. From the promo photo, courtesy of PromoBricks, you’d think it was a regular store, and rightly so. The layout and sets on offer is surprising for a foot print of around 75m².
Even so, I think this Blacktron model is a superb companion for the Galaxy Explorer and one I would absolutely recommend. The set will be available from LEGO.com in January, with any purchases exceeding £170, $190, €190. While that threshold is high, there are plenty of new sets to reach it.

The ship included scale dimensions and outstanding details such as lifeboats, waterslides, deck chairs, and of course, the iconic Carnival whale tale funnel, all rendered in LEGO bricks. On November 19, Italian cruise line, MSC Cruises, will offer LEGO-themed playrooms and Lego-themed competitions and games aboard their MSC Armonia ship. The ship recently underwent a major renovation and its inaugural cruise will depart from Genoa, Italy and then make stops in France, Spain and Gilbraltar before arriving to its final destination in Portugal. Lego just needs to make a "Generations" line the same as Habro did with Transformers over a decade ago. Enough with this GWP scheme--I'm tapped out on large purchases.

Sailings will be operated onboard the 1,856-guest Resorts World One from July 12 to August 30, 2023. Ryder Gray built a scale model of Carnival Miracle entirely from LEGO bricks, displaying his masterwork at Bricks Cascade 2024 in mid-March. Gray was inspired to build the ship when he saw her sail into Portland, Oregon – home of the annual event – for refurbishment. AIDA Cruises is cooperating with the popular Danish toy manufacturer to offer the world’s first exclusive LEGO shopping and experience area on a cruise ship. Build your very own MSC cruise ship from the comfort of your own home thanks to Lego.
Also a bit annoyed that it's locked behind a "gift with purchase" promotion, and not an actual set to purchase, just like the Forestmen set before it - especially in January, who's realistically spending £170 straight after Christmas? A lot of people are going to miss out on this as they tighten purse strings. It being a GWP should have been a con.Sets like this and the forestmen one should have just been on regular sale. You can call it entitlement, but to me it's just annoying that lego is actively making it hard to just buy something I'd be interested in. They're using nostalgia as bait for you to spend more on stuff that's not even related. And this is coming from someone who didn't even grow up in the era this set is from.
Moreover, unlike the original set, the updated model can be reconfigured without those trans-red fins, while maintaining the engine. I appreciate the visual balance of the fins and think the whole spacecraft looks more attractive with them included, although as many alternatives as possible are desirable, of course. ” We are thrilled to be opening our first LEGO Store on a cruise ship on AIDAprima. AIDA Cruises is cooperating with the popular Danish toy manufacturer and is thus offering an exclusive LEGO® shopping and adventure world on a cruise ship for the first time in the world. Resorts World Cruises rolled out a set of short summer cruises in collaboration with LEGO, the popular Danish toy company known for its interlocking plastic bricks that entertain youngsters.
I didn't see the degree of difference between the 497 and in this set, compared to the original. Having said that, if I didn't have the original, I would definetly buy this. Just make this a set you can buy.The GWP has become complete the opposite of what it used to be/was intended. Akin to Galaxy Explorer, the packaging for this set evokes the original 6894 Invader from 1987. The distinctive grid backdrop and desert landscape are notably familiar, while the angle of the model is identical too. Furthermore, I appreciate the consistency between this set and those produced for LEGO's ninetieth anniversary, with the set name displayed across the corner.
Additionally, the fuselage tapers towards the back, which represents an improvement upon the model from 1987. I like the trans-red 2x2 dish affixed to the engine as well, although the addition of an extra Blacktron symbol between the adjustable fins is unexpected because that was not present on 6894 Invader. Whereas the most iconic Classic Space set is undoubtedly 497 Galaxy Explorer, sold in Europe as 928 Space Cruiser and Moonbase, choosing only one set to represent the beloved Blacktron range is more challenging. 6894 Invader is a good choice though, given its characteristic narrow profile and adjustable trans-red fins towards the back.
I know it's more than the supposed rrp on Lego website, but it's still way less than 190 usd threshold. And to make it even more confusing to me- on bricklink those gwp are usually cheaper. Echoing many of the comments...Absolutely brilliant remake of a classic set but being a GWP is a major disappointment.
It is a very high spend threshold, not sure if I’m a fan of that, but this may be the first large GWP I actually attempt to get with orders. With the size of the model I think the spend threshold is pretty reasonable. Beyond their characteristic colours, Blacktron vehicles are known for their modular design. This cruiser can therefore separate into five sections, as demonstrated below. The different modules are connected using clips and can be easily rearranged, with the detachable engine introducing more options than 6894 Invader provided.
Just someone who just likes the ship and the classic space and 80s and 90s Space subtheme.And moreover, they keep doing this to perfectly good mid-sized sets. It just doesn't feel right that something that would have actually been obtainable for me is put behind a giant paywall. It doesn't help that sets quickly become scarce now.I know this ultimately doesn't matter. But them producing this set only to make it a high-threshold GWP just feels like it's not very nice. I have to say, the biggest drawback to this set would be the stickers.Now, I don't mind stickers at all!
