    Brother, my guy, somewhere down the line you gotta do a behind the scenes vid for how you’re doing the talking Kelton-Davis-LEGO-man animation and other wizardry behind the camera, particularly your lighting! IMHO your approach oozes 90s toy commercial nostalgia, gotta love it.

    I love the Exploriens theme, characters, and setting! I’m personally not a huge fan of most of the sets themselves, but there’s simply no denying how amazing the Exploriens Starship is; it certainly ranks up there with the greatest LEGO Spaceships of all time, in my opinion! 😊

    I grew up in the 80's collecting and playing with Classic Space Lego but my interest ended towards the end of that decade just as it changed in a fascinating direction with the introduction of all these different factions. Now being an afol I'm discovering all these wonderful space factions and they're all new to me so I really appreciate this video as it provided a comprehensive look at what The Explorians are about so thank you, I hope you have more plans for other factions too.

    I've wanted the Explorien Starship ever since I was a kid. Still haven't found one at a price I'm willing to pay, as I expect it to be 100% complete even if it's used. Like you, the Alien Fossilizer was my first Exploriens set, and is what forever won my heart over to the Lego Space themes. As for the scientific instruments that you jokingly referred to as big laser cannons, as a kid I always imagined them to be some kind of communications gear, or maybe some type of radio telescopes. Really cool looking either way!

    Exploriens has been familiar to me since playing alongside them in LEGO Racers, and over the years I have gathered more of the sets or had opportunities to build them firsthand.
    Hovertron is a neat little low-gravity vehicle, I even built 2 of them! That being said, the handle assembly is a little clunky and does separate by accident every so often.
    Alien Fossilizer is the latest that I obtained, and unfortunately fell apart quickly after obtaining too. I love the magnetic stickers between this theme and Insectoids. I'd recommend a few modifications to keep this more stable.
    Nebula Outpost is a unique design and reminds me of the spacecraft later seen in LEGO Island 2. Despite having a small footprint, the opening panels help this thing feel more welcoming inside for analyzing data and sending transmissions.
    Scorpion Detector has a unique box to show off its pieces but the assembly made it very sturdy. I like how flexible the arms on front are, even enough to fold them all the way back for a compact travel. I also like how easily the trailer can unhitch while standing on its own, making this feel like 2 vehicles in 1.
    I built the Android Base years ago and enjoyed playing with it, and nowadays I've welcomed two copies of it in my home, one with the box! I recognize it instantly from LEGO Racers as it was positioned near a shortcut on a race track, and entering the correct combination of colored gates opened the two hatches for passage. For living on a 16x32 baseplate this base has a great presence and some nifty vehicles to correspond with the base features.

    The minifigure facial movements are so good that it almost feels like something you would see during a bad drug trip 😆

    Very interesting video those sets were very cool but it was in my lego dark age. Fortunatly I was able to find some at my local flea market sets #8-6 and 1 the big ship still don’t know how to display that huge set.
    Transparent bricks the color shemes are really cool plus the magnets (sure they were in M-tron but they are cool)
    As for the figs the helmets are really well done wish I had more minifigs

    I have all the smaller ones, not the 2 big ones. I never called the big ship ugly due to jealousy xD ... I just wanted the base more than it and I already had the best spaceship ever made - the ice planet one, I never had a proper starbase. Never got them (there are always just so many occasions you can ask your parents for huge expensive stuff) but looking at them now, I still want the base more than the big ship. 2 of them to be exact to enclose it.
    Lovely series! If not for the aliens, this might have been my second favorite one, after Ice planet of course.

    I have some of these robot minifigs! This theme feels to me like the space equivalent to Aquazone

      In many ways, it was! I think this era was the peak of both Space and Aquazone.

    There is this one commercial where the Exploriens are shown using force (I think against blacktron or something): ua-cam.com/video/Rl21WyoDNvo/v-deo.htmlsi=zb78IRvQleLpCaXm
    I dont know if this is an official Lego commercial but it deviates from the peace corp/pure science theme... + I always naturally assumed fhe UFO theme are antagonists for the exploriens

      Both the premise and the aesthetic are remarkably similar.
