Well, we always thought that the yellow Classic Space guys were pretty tough,
going out into space with nothing but a helmet, some air tanks, and a tattoo
of the LEGO Space Force symbol on their chest...
By the way, the conveyance that Queen Cleo uses to get around is called a palanquin.
From www.m-w.com:
Main Entry: pa·lan·quin
Pronunciation: "pa-l&n-'kEn, -'kwin, -'kin, 'pa-l&n-"; p&-'la[ng]-kw&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Portuguese palanquim, from Malay or Javanese pelangki, of
Indo-Aryan
origin; akin to Bengali pAlanka bed
Date: 1588
: a conveyance formerly used especially in eastern Asia usually for one person
that consists of an enclosed litter borne on the shoulders of men by means
of poles
Hope that helps!

I suggest, get a 5824 or two. As the db entry may show you, it's a great set
(with fairy exception), it'll get you some gems, rabbit, rare colors, two
trans orange 1x1 rounds and much more!
(I sound like a commercial. Ugh.)

LOL! My cousin used to have that one, but I was too young to understand ;-)

Me Too!! Those Rabbits are way cool! Now I can fully reenact Monty

Wow! I expanded my vocabulary today. I built one of these things two days ago
and didn't know what it was called. Today, I'm reading old messages from a
month ago that I missed, and I find this posting. What an odd coincidence.
LUGNET isn't just entertaining, it's also educational!
Here's some photos of my palanquin:

I remember when yellow Classic Space guys first came out, my mom and I were at
the store and she saw them first and handed me a box. I said "But these guys
are *naked* Mom!" and put them back. *smirk*

Great thing, this LUGNET, isn't it.
While you're still sitting with your dictionary, try checking up the
spelling of the word
emperor. =)
BTW, thanks for pointing the word palanquin out for the rest of us
vocabularly
disabled. *grin*
