Cyrem Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 So next year LEGO is bringing out a new theme called Galaxy Squad (well it's actually released now in Canada I hear). Pictures: http://www.flickr.co...in/photostream/ Some of the sets look interesting, I'm liking the gun design of the team (new LRR Laser Beam anyone?) and the two ships shown. The bug side of things remind me of insectoids... however I think they could have been more creative with the bugs (Mosquito honestly?). I can see them making more sets for this theme, I might pick up one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of the world, we will need to wait till next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lair Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Insectoids took over the Zotaxians and changed their bodies into real bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDZ Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 So... It's like what happened with Power Miners? LEGO takes a beloved theme and modernizes it? At least I get some Insectoids-like sets. I always did want some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lair Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I do believe Lair likes it doesn't own any of the sets but is fascinated with the concept. I was pointing it out because it seems a lot of others don't like it. It doesn't reflect my views. IMAGINE THAT why would I not like a 90s theme anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJobless Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'd like my Shell Fuel Station and Spybots back instead of this, if you don't mind. RockRaider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenyx Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 After giving it some thought, I think I'm ready to give my opinion on the sets. I like the earth ships. They actually remind me of the old UFO theme in a way, with a little "Life on Mars" mixed in. The bugs, on the other hand... I liked insectoids when I was a kid. These things are ruining my childhood. Ultimately, though... I'd like my Shell Fuel Station and Spybots back instead of this, if you don't mind. This. Space bugs are great and all, but I want something I can actually mess around with so I'm not bored all the time (not that I can't do that with space bugs, but these days the standard models are so fragile you can't really do anything with them except display them on a shelf - the architectural series models hold together better!). I think I'll get back into flying RC helicopters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Just finished building the Vermin Vaporizer last night, and it's easily one of my favorite modern space sets. The driver actually sits in a smaller little buggy, and the front of the vehicle flips down into a ramp so it can drive on out. The turret on the back also can stand up and become a sweet little individual mech. Despite how it can split up into three vehicles, though, the entire thing feels really solid and looks great. The minifigures are excellent, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDZ Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I think the one set I will have to get NO MATTER WHAT (regarding if I ever end up with no money, and not many LEGO sets this year) would have to be the Swarm Interceptor. That thing is all kinds of awesome. And if possible, I'll be getting as many of the Galaxy Squad sets as possible. And is it just me, or does the Red robot sidekick remind me a lot of Admiral Ackbar??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Swarm Interceptor. That thing is all kinds of awesome. dude no the green vehicle is the best it's like a truck WITH A MECH IN THE BACK WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDZ Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 But the Swarm Interceptor has swoosh. Mind you, if I got the opportunity to get the other one, I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleeyedan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I love this theme. Almost got one at the store yesterday but had to pass it up because I was late for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
