New elements

Unlike the previous Classic Space-themed GwP, 40712 Micro Rocket Launch Pad (see Kev's review), the decorations in this set are all printed. As such, we get 3 exclusive printed elements:

• 1x Slope Curved 4 x 1 Double with No Studs with Baby Eyes print in Yellow (6546445 | 93273pr)
• 1x Slope Curved 4 x 1 Double with No Studs with Smile print in Yellow (6546444 | 93273pr)
• 1x Tile 2 x 4 with Groove with Classic Space Logo print in Red (6546446 | 87079pr)

The eye and mouth prints might provide a starting point for other upscaled baby figures, but the printed red 2x4 is the element that will make this a coveted set among Classic Space fans keen on creating red spaceships and ground vehicles. 

A similar printed tile was included in 10497 Galaxy Explorer. However the Classic Space experts here at New E. were quick to point out some subtle differences between the two logos; the planet on the new print has no craters, and the rocket's contrail has just one dot.

Rare elements

Spacebaby also comes bearing 3 hard-to-find elements:

• 4 x Brick Round Curved 1 x 1 x 1 1/3 Quarter Dome in Bright Red/ Red (6436399 | 1871) found in just 1 other set, 75392 Creative Play Droid Builder
• 1 x Brick Special 1 x 1 x 1 2/3 with Studs on 1 Side in Bright Bluish Green/ Dark Turquoise (6439825 | 32952) available in 3 other sets. 
• 2 x Brick Curved 1 x 2 x 1 with Curved Top in Bright Red/ Red (6544439 | ) found in just 1 other set, 11044 Creative Build-and-Play Box

The build

This cutaway view reveals the secret to this well-rendered miniature space explorer. Surely there's a joke here about babies and SNOT.

You may wish to draw your own conclusions about the colours of filler brick used.

The result is a near-perfect giant brick-built version of the Classic Space Baby minifigure. Plenty of attention has been put into this model: even the air tanks on the back of the figure have been carefully upscaled to match the original figure. 

There's one thing bugging me though; the apparent gap at the elbow. It looks as though a 1x2 wedge tile has been left off! Was it some limitation of production? Or perhaps they did not want to include a piece that is so similar to the 1x2 curved wedge slope, for fear of errors by customers? Even a 1x1 quarter tile would have solved it, but surely they have their reasons. 

It is easily solved of course by adding your own pair of angled red tiles. You'll find them in the following sets; if you don't own any of these, we recommend slinging one of the single-car LEGO® Speed Champions sets in your bag – relatively cheap, awesome builds and great parts!

Conclusion

The building techniques aren’t revolutionary but the build is still pretty engaging, and the finished model is oh-so-cute! If you can bear to, the model also recycles into a decent red parts pack.

Then of course there are the useful printed elements to fuel further giant baby creations. Given the existence of the printed 2x4 tile, a Blue Spacebaby would be an ideal option but you would need to come up with an alternative build for the helmet, as unfortunately Brick Round Corner 3 x 3 x 2 Dome Top (88293) does not yet come in blue. 

Is it worth getting hold of? With a threshold attainable by buying any product, this GwP is a steal. I say any product – the terms and conditions do still state that it does not apply to Standard PaB bricks, which now only concners North America. However many readers have told us their Standard brick orders have qualified in the recent past, so give it a try. Pick a Brick added over 1000 new elements this month.
