For example, by far, it has the smallest number of pieces.  276 in the
Battrax compared to the next smallest set with 435 pieces for the Black
Falcon Fortress.

It's the only vehicle.  The rest are either buildings or a large ship.

I think the Message Intercept Base would have been a better choice in terms
of a fair comparison - it is a type of building (OK - it's a 'base') and
more importantly, it contains 562 pieces!

Now don't get me wrong, I love BT1 as a theme, I just wish the MIB had been
a choice instead.

I would have liked to see the MIB too.  More trans yellow domes would be
sweet.  Also the Battrax has only one fig if I am correct, it would be nice
to get more.

My dream legend re-release would be a combo pack with
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6894 and http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6886.  A
blactron vs. space police set.

But hey, I'll take what I can get.  Since we see that classic space helmets
are out (DANG IT!), what Futuron sets would be "Legendary"?  (am I correct
in that no futuron set has the space symbol on bricks or slopes?) Has anyone
decided they would accept a classic space man with a new helmet and visor?
Or would you take a Galaxy Explorer with Futuron pilots?
