LEGO has blessed classic space fans in recent years with minifig spacemen in new colors, callbacks to old factions, and a couple of re-imagined sets. What we haven’t had in ages is an actual new LEGO faction in the tradition of the 80s and 90s, when every year or two would bring in a new spin on Space. Over on the Eurobricks forums, Bob De Quatre is hosting a contest that lets anyone create a new faction based on a constrained color palette. It seems like an amazing way for veteran Classic Space builders as well as new voices in the community to celebrate LEGO’s space legacy with a creative spin. Large builds, small builds, and even just minifig-focused creations have a category, so why dust off those oxygen tanks and fire up your ray guns and sign up over at the Eurobrick forums.
Perhaps you’ll find your groove like Angus MacLane did with the totally chill Browntron faction (which pre-dates the Summer Faction Festival but fits the rules)
