If LEGO remade Classic Space what color scheme should it be?

1. Blue, new light gray, and transparent yellow canopies and windows

2. New light gray, new dark gray, and clear canopies and windows

3. White, light gray, and light blue canopies and windows.

4. Black with dark blue canopies and windows

5. No color schemes, just make a lot of unique spaceships centered around exploration and other non-battle themes

6. Leave 'classic space' alone, it served its role in the past and its time to move one. No space theme could ever top Star Wars anyway.

If none of these suit your taste, what would you like to see (or not) ??

I don't even have a clue. But if LEGO can do it right, which I know they can, it could be better than Star Wars, which, personally, is becoming increasingly lackluster (with exception of the gem that is the Sail Barge... how I pine for that set!)


I'd like to see White or something neutral - Bley, Dark Bley, or Brown - paired with Yellow or Orange.

blue, red, orange, or green highlight with a base color of black, white or bley

Isn't that like asking what color blacktron should be? If they're bringing back a line, keep the color.

[PocasNuckie]

Black and Red!!

[Joedward]

There should be many

Black and red
White and blue
Light bley, dark bley with yellow or orange

As long as LEGO does what they do best I have no doubt that a space line could possibly seem cooler than many Star Wars sets

I wouldn't mind seeing a lot of gray, white and blue. It seems to me some of the newer elements still haven't been made in blue (wedge 2x6 left/right, wedge 2x6 left/right inverted, cylinder 3 x 6 x 2 2/3, etc.), so this would be a good opportunity.

I would love to see a good splash of green in them, especially dark green.

Dark blue and white would be pretty cool as well. Not dark red or the sand colors though, it would seem too star warsy I think.

I am not a big fan of yellow, although trans yellow would be great.

One thing I noticed in the past FBTB contest is that I have a lot of grey and there was a lot of fantastic work displayed that used colors in an astonishing way. So one of the things I need to work on as a builder is the addition of color.

BTW, anyone want to trade their bley pieces for old grey? just a thought.

Light bley, blue and trans-yellow. Otherwise it wouldn't be Classic Space.

Now that I think of it, make that light grey instead of light bley... bley just doesn't work with "Classic" .

A mixture of Grey, Dark-Grey, Sand Blue (Which is another hue of Grey), Blue, and Trans-Yellow canopies, would be probably the best representation of Classic-Space IMO...
Other schemes like red with greys, green with greys or black with greys might be better suited for Anime like themes, or some militaristic themes but not for an exploration theme...

Im partial to gray and blue with yellow canopies to really seperate it from Star Wars vehicles. I would like to see modern interpetation of old Classic Space sets using newer SNOT techniques and etc.

Does anyone have a pic of that really cool large ship someone made with classic space colors?

If I remember correctly it had a large cargo area or somethink it.

I don't know why everyone calls it Transparent Yellow.
It's Transparent ***GOLD***!!! [edit] ::D: [/edit]

Blue, TrGold (fine TrYellow)/Yellow, Bley/DkBley should be the primary colors in that order. I'd love to have Shades of Blue and Yellow including the Golds - Pearl, Metallic and Chrome.

And Warhawk, I had the Galaxy Explorer.

If it's going to be "Classic Space" then it needs to be the correct colors:

Blue, light grey, trans yellow/gold and crater plates!!!

If that color scheme isn't a winner (unlikely), then use this scheme:

White, grey, trans dark blue.

I think the colors used for the exo-force would be a great idea for space themes. I am a bit partial to the colors that the robots use as apposed to the humans in exo-force. The black, dark blue and dark reds are really awesome.

Obviously, whatever gets designed for a new Space line would come from the existing color palette, because bringing back something retired, such as old grey, would mean added costs to LEGO... which I'm pretty sure theyre not trying to do.

With that in mind, what about a spin on old Space coloring?

Remember how there were different color minifigs (both Classic and with the newer helmets)... white, yellow, blue, red, black? They all had sets that were predominantly that color, if I remember correctly. I could be wrong, as I'm not looking this up first.

But having one theme, with different colors to different sets in small groups lets you create your own sub-themes as your imagination sees fit. I remember my old Space sets (I didn't have too many, I was a Townie as a kid), and I just made different "teams" from the different colors. White was a small team, so they joined with black. I had a lot of yellow, and a ton of blue, so they were each a team. Red... I think I only had two or so.

I like the new colors, personally, so seeing LEGO use those colors in bunches would be fantastic for a gajillion reasons, parts packs being one and cool colorful ships being another. There's undoubtably more.

I think its very important that if LEGO makes Classic Space again that its color and design doesn't look like something that wouldn't exist within the SW's universe.

I would like to see LEGO make a moonbase using the standards that have been created within the AFOL community.

I've been out of the loop for a few days so I apologize if this has already been posted, but have you all seen this thread over on EB?

new SPACE sets in 2007!!!!, confirmed by Lego ambassadors!!

[ZombieSolo]

They confirmed it on Friday last week, I saw it on CS... two of the ambassadors chimed in - there will be a new space theme, possibly in '07, and the ambassadors had a hand in the development of it. The last part is what I'm most excited about…

[Chief]

[ZombieSolo]

Early or late 07?

[Chief]

That I can't answer Sorry
