Complete LEGO Classic Space collection - 1978 to 1988!


Complete at last!  It only took about 1 1/2 years, but I've collected one of every known publicly-released LEGO Space theme set with the original style of minifigs, not including extra minifig-only packs :)  It has been a labor of love and incredibly satisfying ticking the "I Own" boxes in the Brickset master list one by one.
Now I just need to figure out exactly what to do with all of this stuff at the new house!  I'm more than 90% committed to keeping it all, but a large part of me wants to work on custom creations to fit with the theme.  I don't need to be getting distracted with this now, though; I have a big new city to work on!

So much LEGO, so little time...

  5. Nice. These were some of my 1st forays into LEGO sets, some of the post Classic sets/lines (UFO, Blacktron, Space Police) were pretty cool but just loved the simpler explorer themed lines. As far as I remember there weren't villainous adversaries, just ships & bases that were outposts for discovery.

    I know times & tastes change but I keep hoping we'll see the line return. I have absorbed many of the aliens of newer lines & made them part of a large Federation ala Star Trek.
