Neo Space Probe Launcher

Growing up, we had the LEGO 6870 Space Probe Launcher in the house—well, technically, my brother did, and I wasn’t allowed to play with it. But the Classic Space theme left a lasting impression on me.

This remake honors the spirit and geometry of the original Classic Space set while expanding on it in every dimension. The core design cues remain: a triangular spacecraft and a rectangular launcher, both enhanced with updated shapes, sleeker lines, and contemporary LEGO building techniques.

The set incorporates several creative building methods, especially the use of SNOT techniques throughout the spacecraft. You’ll notice these in the side windows, the sculpted rear, and the curved front of the launcher. One of my personal favorite details is the use of a trans-clear plant plate element as the side window of the spaceship.

This new version not only brings back the nostalgia of Classic Space but also boosts playability and visual appeal, making it a worthy tribute to the original set.
