![]() Angled wedge plates are placed in layers to match the body of the movie ship. Spaceship and vehicle fans will be familiar with the start of this process as its a pretty straightforward building of the base. The beveled sides fit smoothly with existing slopes, though the central one is flatter than any current angles. The hinged canopy steps away from more square-topped designs we’ve seen in the past, while still fitting nicely in the system. The director even joked on Twitter about making the film just so LEGO fans, himself included, would get a new yellow canopy. Of course, Classic Space fans were most excited about the angular new canopy. We also get 2×6 wedge plates now in white as well as that dark stone grey handle on the fusion chamber below. Along with these prints are recolored parts in dark azure such as the 4L bar, 1×1 cone, and the vented 1×2 slope. That one isn’t super exciting though, as it’s similar to previous versions, so forgive me for not including it in the shot. Also included is a keyboard-printed tile with light grey printing. ![]() I let out a little shriek of glee when I saw this, particularly because none of the promotional material hinted at the inclusion of this AI character. Printed pieces from the set include the crystallic fusion chamber and the triangular IVAN control panel. There are new control prints, too, for those shipbuilders out there hankering for some variance. The print for the computer screen features a mirrored and inverted image of the crystallic fusion chambers featured in this and the 76831 Zurg Battle set. ![]() Another inset shows the two opening hatches on the back of the ship.Ī good quarter of the sheet is taken up by the info placard. On the left side is an inset of the ship on its Ultimate Collector’s Series-style stand, complete with an info placard. The back of the box highlights the rear of the ship in a scene featuring Buzz, Sox, and two more characters. This 8+ set shows the XL-15 boosting through space on the front of the box, with Buzz piloting the craft and Sox just barely visible behind him. The cosmic art suits the set well and I love the transition from animated Buzz to LEGO Buzz on the front and back. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. The LEGO Group sent The Brothers Brick an early copy of this set for review. Buzz Lightyear’s XL-15 Spaceship is available now from the LEGO Shop online and retails for US $49.99 | CAN $64.99 | UK £44.99. We got a chance to familiarize ourselves with this 497-piece set a few months before the movie hits theaters. Pixar Lightyear 76832 XL-15 Spaceship is hands-down the star set of this new movie tie-in line.What happens when the director of a highly anticipated film about a Space Ranger also happens to be a fan of LEGO Classic Space? You end up with a gorgeous spaceship with a sleek new yellow canopy that writer, director, and adult fan of LEGO Angus MacLane wanted for his own builds.
