    Lego Space Timeline Brings Back My Best Childhood Memories

    Get ready for a trip to the past that rivals the visit to Lego's secret vault: All the Lego Space sets ever released in one single place, gallery after gallery of childhood memories.

    I admitted it already while I went back in time in the Lego vault, and I will say it again here. My weakest spot when it comes to Lego is Lego Space, specially the sets from the 70s and 80s.

    In fact, watching Star Wars for the first time and the Lego Galaxy Explorer is what made me want to be an astronaut for the first time. That's why I couldn't leave them out from our Get Me Off This Rock space week.

    Here they are, plus a bonus treat: Confidential product shots from the 2009 Lego Space line—although if you ask me, nothing beats the sets for the late 1970s and the 1980s.
