The Brick Fan
“The LEGO Blacktron Cruiser (40580) is a nice updated version of the Invader with the modernized parts and look. It is pretty faithful to the original set including the play features. I would’ve preferred the stickers to be printed parts but we can’t have everything. It also... More matches up great with the Galaxy Explorer as well even though they’re from different subthemes.”

The Brothers Brick
“While this set isn’t as grandiose an upgrade as the Galaxy Explorer, it’s full of its own specific charms. As a near 1:1 recreation of the original set, it is bound to evoke nostalgia in the target audience. Like the 10497 Galaxy Explorer crew, the Blacktron pilot included... More in this set is a near-exact recreation of the original Blacktron minifigure, which was always one of my favorites.”
