LEGO Icons 10355 Blacktron Renegade Rumoured For January 2025


As LEGO continues to dive into notalgia with sets such as this year's 10332 Medieval Town Square and 2023s 10320 Eldorado Fortress, new rumours suggest a brand new throwback set will be releasing next year, once again under the LEGO Icons theme. In particular, this rumoured set is 10355 Blacktron Renegade which seems to promise a thrilling return of the iconic Blacktron theme, which originally captivated LEGO space enthusiasts back in the late '80s and early '90s.


The Blacktron theme holds a special place in the hearts of long-time LEGO fans. Blacktron was one of LEGO’s earliest “bad guy” factions in the space genre, known for its bold colour scheme and mysterious, rogue-like space explorers. The theme’s distinct black-and-yellow design and futuristic ships brought a unique edge, contrasting sharply with the more heroic space factions.


Releasing on the 1st of January 2025, 10355 Blacktron Renegade will retail for $109.99 / €109.99 / £94.99 with a total of 1,151 pieces included. The 18+ model will be a remake of 1987s 6954 Renegade which includes a much smaller piece count of 313 elements. Like many LEGO Classic Space models, a lot of larger, very unique pieces were used to create the model which we are unlikely to see in 2025 as LEGO incorporates much smaller pieces to create a more detailed and accurate spaceship.


10355 Blacktron Renegade will likely retain the sleek, angular silhouette of the original while introducing intricate details that give it a more refined look. The model will also likely preserve the signature black-and-yellow Blacktron colour scheme and sharp, futuristic angles, bringing the spirit of the Blacktron Renegade into the modern LEGO era. Four Minifigures are also confirmed to be included in this modern remake with two pilots and two crew members.
