A well done remake for us 80's kids

The Renegade was one of my most beloved sets as a kid in the 1980s (still own it) so when I heard that this was coming I knew I was getting it day 1. The build is not complex but still enjoyable. My 6 year old had fun helping me for part of the build. I really like the redesign outside of the front opposite the pilot ship, it needs to be more sloped. Everything else is nicely done and goes great as a rival to the Galaxy Explorer. I hope they continue to release these vintage reimaginings of the classic themes. I would love to see the classic space and Blacktron bases and rover vehicles in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Got the Renegade yesterday! My 8-year-old son and I built it together, and he absolutely loves it. He’s already asking about the whole backstory of Blacktron, so I shared the version I came up with when I was his age.
Such an awesome set—the modularity is incredible, and it reminds me of everything I love about the classic LEGO factions. No big IPs, just pure creativity, where we could build anything we wanted with the sets we had and let our imaginations run wild.

I really loved this build and the look of the set is just fantastic!
You build the vehicles first and then build up the ship itself slowly through the rest of the bags. Some of the building techniques really surprised me.
If you're a fan of classic Lego space themes, or just looking for the baddest looking spaceship you can find, I highly recommend picking this up.
Really cool play functions as well for such a throwback set.

I’ve been telling my younger children the early 1990’s were an epic time to be a kid with Lego Space sets. Blacktron I and II, Space Police, M-Tron, Exploriens… those were the days. The Renegade was an excellent build. Straightforward enough that my kids could follow the instructions with me, and a wonderful homage to the original. My kids love playing with it alongside the Galaxy Explorer. Just spitballing here, but it would be great to have, I don’t know, the M-Tron Stellar Recon Voyager revisited so as to further relive my childhood glory days and share them with my children.

Really cool set.

Had lots of fun building it. When I first saw images of it online I thought the color scheme was a bit too monotonous, but It looks way better after completing it in person. I didn’t grow up with Blacktron or any classic themes as a kid, but wish I did, as this was a very sick build. I really like all the neat functions and play features. Would recommend. 👍

I like how it captures the retro themed and how there is kind of a bunch of Easter eggs revolving around this set

This was a fun build and is a great "swooshing" spaceship. It's modular, but can't connect to the blacktron cruiser without a little modification. I this the real loss is not being able to connect to the new city space sets. If we had a black airlock price the renegade and cruiser could easily swoop in and acquire a city space module left unprotected and modify it to meet blacktrons needs. I would love to see more classic remakes in the future. The new city space sets will be my kids "classic space" and I hope lego keeps it going.
