But Emmet tells his friends that they're expecting them to show up in a Bat Spaceship or a Pirate Spaceship or a Pink Sparkle Spaceship, so he suggests they build one of the Octan Spaceships, which disappoints Benny since he still doesn't get to build his. I would love to get extras or different colors for some of the city figures I have wandering around my modulars. If you've attempted this build on LDD you'll find the actual build very interesting, I liked the use of 1x2x2 arches for example, which may come as a surprise when you build it.

This is probably the coolest little spin on the ship, a serial number tile that’s unique to every set (at least as far as I’ve been able to tell). If I have one concern it's that the ship might be a little too large for small hands to handle easily, but I'm sure TLG have tested for this!On the whole, the colours work well here, though some of the black is a little incongrous, particularly the flick-fire mounts at the front. In the real world, Finn was flying Benny's Spaceship around playing with it, when his father, the Man Upstairs shows up, and gets not too happy from what he saw when his son was playing with his Lego collection. The parts reference is extremely outdated (making it near-useless to a blog like this that focuses on new elements), the set reference contains little useful information (certainly less than Brickset or even Bricklink, and the most useful info is simply linked from Peeron), and its theme pages focus more on fan themes than actual Lego themes (useful in some scenarios, but not necessarily in a set review like this).

More space seats appear in modules two and three, which begin to show off the colour scheme of blue, greys light and dark, black and yellow. The ship is loaded with several subtle play features, but make no mistake, it’s designed to be picked up and swooshed around.They mention that it is a solid build, a great throwback, and an enjoyable build with some interesting building techniques.
