LEGO - BLACKTRON Collection.

Lego Blacktron Collection.

I've been a Lego fan sense I was a kid. I was big into town, Castle, and Space, yet as I grew, one collection remained my favorite. That was the Space sub Set Blacktron. These guys would devastate my Lego town folk, destroy the gas station, Police station and air port, then run a muck down the lego like highway pieces blowing up cars and trucks alike. Over the years I gave or lost most of all my town collection, re- bought allot of my castle sets, still hunting for a few. and recently finally completed my Blacktron collection with a few sets I never even owned or new existed, thanks to http://www.bricklink.com/ So with out further adue, I bring you Blacktron.

I start with set number 1875 Meteor Monitor. This one I never knew existed, what is to be the last Blacktron set ever, before the retarded Blacktron II's this set was small and included instead of yellow parts that were automatically distinguishing of blacktron, came with white parts. With a little cheap purchase off of bricklink, I gave this vehicle the parts needed to blend with his brothers. the Vehicle is a great little recon craft!!!

Next, I give you the Alienators. My first Blacktron set as a kid, I now bought two, resembling a Imperial Vehicle, I loved this craft, like many Blacktron vehicles it could break apart and become other things. the front detached to become a flying rover or, an ejection pod. The back raised up to expose tools for the pilots mission. This was a cheap and yet fun toy!!!!

One I did not have as a kid, infact the following three are sets still even to this day very expensive to purchase complete, is one like above has many forms, it came with a robot, and could detach into three pieces, A work pod, A flyer, and a robot like sentry flyer. Combined it resembled a what I thought was a fuel tanker set.



6894 Invader.

The Jeep of Blacktron, the bad ass, Battrax. This vehicle was hardcore. The back shot off for a flying defender, proving why against the other space lego sets, these guys were indestructible!!!!



6941 Battrax.

The super fighter, which included a small vehicle, plus a few figures (I army built more to fill all the seats) this vehicle was a no mess around attack craft, it also had folding wings, and MANY places to sit gunners on the wings!!


6954 Renegade.

then the set I loved as a kid, I re bought, the Message intercept base. Complete with a flyer, Jeep like buggy, and a few figures (I army built some more for all of the positions - plus added tools to the rack) This base was so awesome! The tower moved on tracks, the base opened to reveal a fighter, it was indestructible as a kid, and this collection warrants it's own shelf in my toy room!!!
