A couple of months ago I decided to run this petition to see if we managed to get more attention to the long-forgotten Blacktron theme, as it was one of my favorite themes as a child. But as mostly I also forgot the theme until some time ago I recovered some of my old (almost 35 plus years) Lego minifigures and sets ending my Dark Ages of Lego and restarting my collection and an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego).
It also helped to discover some little throwbacks into the Blacktron theme that Lego was granted us fans of this setting in recent years. As for the ones that do not know that, the Blacktron theme got in 2009 a new Blacktron figure is featured in Space Police III; in 2011 a new Blacktron minifigure appears in the Minifigures Series 3; in 2013 another appears in the Minifigures Series 11, and in 2014 as part of the LEGO® Movie theme the last new physical Blacktron minifigure is released. This year (2019), the Blacktron theme returns virtually as a level for The LEGO® Movie 2 Videogame, "Blacktron Dwayne" main-events as a virtual minifigure in the upcoming LEGO® Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, and we actually got the "Galactic Bounty Hunter" - a new physical Blacktron minifigure in Minifigures Series 19.
With all said and done, I believe that there is a market for a new iteration of Blacktron, as this theme would appeal both to the nostalgic Blacktron/Classic Space fans, but also to many new Children and AFOLs around the world!
