8 more LEGO sets our readers want to see remade

We asked, and you kept on giving; here are even more LEGO sets that Brick Fanatics readers are keen to see return to shelves.

We’ve already taken a look at some iconic sets that LEGO fans want to return to in 2023, but there are truly so many sets that Brick Fanatics readers want another chance to get that we thought we’d return to the idea. From 90s themes like Aquazone to retro sets based on movies like Ghostbusters, there are plenty of sets that could do with a second look, this time with modern building techniques.

With sets like 43222 Disney Castle, 10320 Eldorado Fortress, and tributes to popular past themes like BIONICLE via GWPs rampant, the possibility of some of these LEGO sets might not be too far away. Of course, we’ll have to wait for word from the LEGO Group if any more remakes are actually on the way. For now, let’s take a look at eight sets that Brick Fanatics readers want to see remade.

8 – 6195 Neptune Discovery Lab

Released in 1995 for $89, 6195 Neptune Discovery Lab can now sell for nearly $500 on the secondhand market. Featuring minifigures ready to go on intrepid research missions under the sea, specially-printed blue elements set the scene amid yellow-brick lab structures. As well as suits for the minifigures, they can also explore underwater in a brick-built aqua vehicle.

7 – 10194 Emerald Night

If there’s anything LEGO fans love, it’s brick-built trains – and 10194 Emerald Night is an excellent example of one. While it doesn’t come up with any rails, the green-plated train and the vintage-style carriage make for an impressive display piece, along with its three minifigures. Still, imagine how much better it could look after getting a revamp with modern building techniques, moving it along from its original release in 2009?

6 – 6271 Imperial Flagship

Seeing as we’re already returning to tropical seas with 10320 Eldorado Fortress, one way to expand the display could be to also revisit 6271 Imperial Flagship. First released back in 1992, the iconic sails mark this brick-built ship out as a mighty model, with a sturdy ship hull to take its four minifigures wherever they please across the high seas.

5 – 6286 Skull’s Eye Schooner

While we’re in the business of remaking LEGO ships, why not also treat 6286 Skull’s Eye Schooner to a new lick of paint (or plate, as it were)? Where 6271 is on the side of the Empire, 6286 is the domain of pirates, doing as they please across the oceans. Complete with a monkey and a parrot, this would certainly be a fun trip down memory lane.

4 – 75827 Firehouse Headquarters

Available to buy between 2016 and 2018, we wouldn’t say no to a return to the sprawling 75827 Firehouse Headquarters, perhaps with the same level of detail and multi-movie references as 76178 Daily Bugle. Another fun add-on could be to make the set compatible with other Modular Buildings. That way, even for non-Ghostbusters fans, it would make for an authentic fire station to add to any brick-built city.

3 – 6399 Airport Shuttle

Returning to the 90s once more, the beloved monorail in 6399 Airport Shuttle is a popular choice to get remade. With the train actually gliding along the monorail, 6399 is a set that keeps on giving once it’s built. Returning to it in 2023, perhaps in the LEGO Technic theme for extra authenticity, could result in an even larger or more functional version of the beloved shuttle.

2 – 6765 Gold City Junction

6765 Gold City Junction, released in 1996, offers a snapshot into a minifigure Western, portraying a bustling town from the American Frontier, complete with a bank and general store. Minifigures can get around on horses and carts, while they fight it out with guns and hide in barrels to keep clear of the bandits.

1 – 6542 Launch & Load Seaport

When it was first released back in 1991, 6542 Launch & Load Seaport provides an interactive harbour scene with a cargo ship, dock, functioning crane, control tower, and multiple vehicles for minifigures (and builders) to use. One reader suggested a 2,500-piece version of the set, bringing it up to date with modern-day LEGO capabilities.
