This latest LEGO creation by builder Librarian-Bot takes us to the nostalgic sweet spot in the early 90s when fake glasses and Zupaz pants were cool- or so I thought. Looking back, it is quite possible anyone sporting fake specs, a crystal necklace, and baggy psychedelic weightlifter pants when clearly not being a weightlifter was never cool but a boy can dream, right? It’s like this creation, with its bold black-and-white color scheme and transparent bubble canopies whisks us away to a time when wanting to sex you up and being down with OPP (whatever that means) was a badge of honor. Maybe it’s time to don my Zupaz once again get out my little black book from 1991 and give a few hunnys a call. The pants had an elastic waist so fitting them onto my now paunchy frame shouldn’t be an issue at all.
And like my Zupaz pants, this vehicle also houses two mini-spaceships and a hidden rover.
No nostalgia here – I only started to care about LEGO a few years ago (before, it mostly seemed like much ado about nothing) -, but these builds are something to consider.
As for fashion back then… boy, were those pants an abomination! Thank goodness such trends never got to where I lived, thus sparing me the horror of seeing anyone dressed like that.
“[…] when fake glasses and Zupaz pants were cool – or so I thought”: I like these bits sprinkled here and there in your brief, clever, reference-rich reviews. Self-deprecation is, as a matter of fact, the hallmark of a big chunk of stand-up comedy routines.
