LEGO Icons Blacktron Renegade (10355) Building Set

Most of us eventually outgrow our toys—or so we tell ourselves. But when LEGO decides to revive a childhood classic with modern twists, all bets are off. Enter the LEGO Icons Blacktron Renegade, the ultimate adult-friendly build that proves you’re never too old for interstellar adventures. This 1,151-piece set takes the beloved 1980s Blacktron spaceship and reimagines it for the grown-up fan who still knows how to dream in bricks.

Measuring 18.5 inches (47 cm) long, 11.5 inches (30 cm) wide, and standing 3.5 inches (9 cm) tall, the Renegade is a modular masterpiece that’s perfect for display—or plotting galactic takeovers. Featuring a planet-rover drop pod, retractable landing gear, and two wing-mounted space speeders, this ship brings the iconic asymmetry of Blacktron into the modern LEGO era. Three Blacktron minifigures and a droid figure are ready to crew this nostalgic stunner, and if you’re feeling extra creative, you can rebuild it into the 1980s Blacktron Alienator using LEGO’s online instructions.

With separate brick bags, the set is perfect for solo or shared building sessions, letting you relive the glory days with family and friends. Available January 1, 2025, for LEGO Insiders and January 4 for everyone else, the Blacktron Renegade is priced at US$99.99. LEGO hasn’t just revived a classic; it’s given us a new excuse to keep playing. Because some toys—and some dreams—are simply timeless.

The LEGO Icons Blacktron Renegade (10355) Building Set is a nostalgic nod to the simpler days of unadulterated LEGO fun—back when the only drama was deciding what spaceship to build next, not navigating a labyrinth of pop culture tie-ins and licensing deals. Long-time LEGO fans, you know exactly what I mean. It’s not that today’s sets are bad—far from it—it’s just that this one reminds us of a time when creativity reigned supreme, no franchises required.
