The Blacktron theme is back. You can purchase the LEGO Icons 10355 Blacktron Renegade on January 1, 2025. This updated set, which is limited to 1,151 pieces and costs $99.99, pays homage to the legendary Blacktron 6954 Renegade starship from 1987.
A classic redefined
The 10355 Blacktron Renegade captures the spirit of the original 6954 but adds a sleek, updated design. This set, which is decorated in the iconic black-and-yellow color scheme with transparent yellow accents, exudes nostalgia while yet providing something new. With dimensions of 47 cm by 30 cm by 9 cm, it is a big piece that will look fantastic when displayed.
What’s better than one spaceship? One with detachable modules. Yep, the Renegade features modular components that let you reconfigure the ship or detach specific sections for smaller missions. This flexibility gives it extra play value and an edge for fans who love customizing their builds.
