Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!

An unlikely source would bring back a nostalgia for Classic Space: Charlie Day’s breakout character in the 2014 surprise smash hit Lego Movie, Benny. A throwback minifigure to Space’s early days—right down to the broken helmet chinstrap—Benny’s important role in the climax of the film to build his dream spaceship to help the rest of the heroes paved the way for a set based on the scene, a love letter to the angular shapes, greebles, and blue-and-grey color scheme of the original Space sets.
