  • Let's explore the captivating LEGO theme that brought on some unique building MOC's. LEGO Aquazone was the last of a dying breed as the LEGO Group moved into a new era of products. These fun sets inspired creations that AFOL fans still build today and led to other fun themes like Aqua Raiders and Atlantis.

    Hydronauts vs. Stingrays is my childhood! I have wanted the giant sets for so long!

      Mercari is a great place to get old sets like these. Also, because they are not popular sets you can get them for a reasonable price too

    I dont think that missing plot is a bad thing. Quite opposite. I find that a very good thing about the old 80s and 90s lego. Nowadays it's all about the licensed themes like LOTR, Harry Potter, Star wars where you know exactly who is who. Back then you just had your imagination.

    0:44 I do know. In some media and I believe some of the sets box texts themselves, they are fighting over the crystals called Hydrolators for survival. So aside from their shining nature, the crystals are a resource for them to breathe underwater.

    Aquaraiders have their name to blame for being mistaken as pirates, but comics and descriptions for the subtheme at the time painted them as a careless contractors for a larger corporation (hence the emphasis on saws, drills, and buckets)
    Being antagonists moreso to the greater surrounding environment than any human parties, like real oil companies

    I think the bearded hydronaut is a hybrid aquashark

    Man! So many memories you just booted back up in my brain haha I loved the Aquazone sets. I was a kid in the 90s and could only ever afford the smaller to mid sets for birthdays or whatever but I loved my 6155 set, I was also obsessed with sharks. But one of the coolest sets I always wished I could afford was 6198 at 3:11 that set was/is SO SICK!! Love the video man!

    I loooove Aquazone ❤
    My favorite Lego theme ever.
    Original Aquazone ('95/'96) was sooooo much better than 2nd line ('98) in my opinion.
    Neptune Discovery Lab is for me a TOP 5 90s set and the minifigs are awesome.
    Hydronauts have terrible colors for me (grey doesn't fit here at all) and UGLY faces. And their base (6199) is way worse than its predecessor (6195) 🫤

    • @thatchazguy
      @thatchazguy  9 місяців тому

      Definitely one of my favorite lines! I really loved the Stingrays, they just looked so cool

      @@thatchazguy I'm totally Aquanauts guy, but Stingrays was a good addition. They were wild and savage looking. Interesting and unique villains

    • @thatchazguy

      The whole line was wild and I loved every bit of it!
