Black Seas Barracuda (1989) "As a child, it was the set that you had to have. Everyone wanted the Black Seas Barracuda." - Michael Thomas Fuller, LEGO Design Manager The Galactic Enforcer can split apart into four smaller ships for special missions. For many adult fans, it brought back memories of the much-loved modular LEGO spaceships of their childhoods, in particular 1983's Galaxy Commander (6980), which has the same blue and white color scheme. The mighty Galaxy Commander boasts twin cockpits, a detachable landing module in the back, and a pair of wheeled rovers for surveying the terrain of alien planets. All that and a landing pad, too! It even has an extra surprise: remove a pair of tiles, and you can unlock the landing module to deploy a laboratory station with a flip-up roof and radar dish. Holiday Home and Hamburger Stand (1983) Holiday Home: The blue sloped brick with 74 printed on it is exclusive to this set. Hamburger Stand: Translucent doors are found on many LEGOLAND Town buildings, but this door's blue trim is unique to this set.

Ellen Ripley stepped into that gigantic power loader, and screamed “Get away from her, you bitch!” to the Xenomorph queen in James Cameron’s 1986 classic Aliens. Although there were a few sequels (and some unfortunate Aliens vs. Predator movies) after Aliens came out, I think a good argument could be made that was the most iconic scene in the whole series… aside from maybe that whole chest bursting thing in the original 1979 Ridley Scott movie.
These many years later, an Aliens fan named Daniel Schlumpp has taken that iconic moment from the film and recreated it in LEGO form. Unfortunately, back in 1986 the LEGO company would have never considered making a toy based on an R-rated horror/action movie (they’d be unlikely to make one now, to be completely honest), but thankfully, we have dedicated fans like Schlumpp to bring such things to life for us. The custom LEGO set has Ripley rockin’ her ’80s perm and giving the alien queen a piece of her mind. All that’s missing is a mini-figure of little Newt. Here is what Schlumpp had to say about his creations: “Since having kids I have got back into Lego in kind of a big way. There are so many new parts and colours to build with these days compared to the 80’s. The power loader from Aliens is something that I would have loved to build as a kid as it’s one of my all-time favorite movies. I had seen online many other people build it and I want to build my own version trying to keep it to mini-figure scale.
