Really?
Because, inquiring minds want to know:
- If space is everywhere, whence did space go that it could return?
- When it returns, will it still be really cold, or has global warming affected the universe as well?
- Will it return retaining its inferiority complex to trainstrainstrains?
In any event, welcome back! :-)

WHOO HOOO! Not even bley could stop me from well designed Space sets. If these
are as well designed as some of the newer stuff they will we insanely cool. For
example compare 770 with
7903. As they won’t use original grey anyway
maybe we can not use original blue in favor of dark blue. I am thinking dark
blue, bley, and trans-yellow (with trans-red accents) would look pretty sweet.
Wow I am getting way ahead of myself; maybe they will just use white, black, and
trans blue (with trans-red accents); or maybe trans-green, bley and black; or
maybe something completely new. This anouncement is just too cool to not
speculate. SPACE!

Thanks for making this post, Marc. I thought that one of the other LA’s would
have posted this news on LUGNET already, but I guess I am first.
So, to quote John...

That’s really all I can say. (The LEGO Ambassadors can not give any other
information on sets or release dates, so please do not ask.)

According to my sources they are telling me that the space series that is coming
out involves MARS. Mars rover stuff. A lot of orange colors.
Also according to my source the new under water series is going to be cool. Lego
asked people what they wanted and the answer was under water stuff with
monsters.

Orange is cool - Mars is COOLER! I still have a Technic Rover assembled on my
dresser (not to be disassembled until the last MER stops functioning on the
Martian surface), and would love to see the pieces and setting so I could do
Zubrin’s Mars Direct in LEGO.
SPACE coming back, wonderful... coming back and moving on from the Moon to Mars,
wonderfuler (hey, I’m excited). Now if they would just rerelease the Galaxy
Explorer...

If that means a continuation of the NASA sets, while still cool from a parts
standpoint, I am willing to bet that isn’t quite what most people were thinking.
On the other hand if it means a futuristic mars colony with orange crater plates
and “Space” colored vehicles and ships (like classic space was on the moon with
grey crater plates) then that sounds awesome. I wouln’t even mind a spiritual
continuation of the humans from Life on Mars (with more classic space styled
designs of course) But that was a good color scheme to go with orange landscapes
and heck the LoM humans had a great color scheme all around.

Well as long as the “monsters” are creator-style brick built, that will rock.

If the people who designed these are the same ones responsible for the new
space, I’m optimistic. Overall I’ve been impressed and actually a good deal
excited about what I’ve seen so far for 2007, and can’t wait to see more.

Well, jeez--give them a break! We’re talking about a difference of 30 years,
during which LEGO had to face market competition from a string of competitor
brands, not to mention the design-competition from an ever-increasingly clever
fan base!
Of course, this return to Classic Space, however Mars-centric it may turn out to
be--will require a revisiting of Apocryphal Classic Space. Stay tuned, purists!

This is good news, the sets don't matter so much as the parts. If it has
lots of "space" parts (something that a lot of Star Wars sets are lacking
in IMO), it will be GOOD and I will be buying :)
I can see this going one of 3 ways:
1.Continuation of NASA style sets.
2.Something ala Life On Mars (although the Life On Mars human sets were great)
or 3.Something ala classic space only set on mars instead of the moon
(although it wasnt explicitly specified in classic space, its clear that
the setting for it is the moon)
Personally, I am hoping for #3

Thats the whole point though. If the new Space sets are as well improved as 7903
is over 770 then I won’t even care about the bley instead of grey. (Of course to
contradict myself, I would also rather see dark blue used in place of regular
blue.) Of course that is assuming they are even using bley and blue as the color
scheme. I would actually prefer the white, black, trans-blue, and highlights of
trans-red or close variations as the color scheme of choice. Just NOT
neon-green. Please let them give neon-green a rest for a while.

Sweet. Those do look very well designed. I am really interested in the
trans-green accented crab moster. Nice to see them giving neon-green a rest. If
the space sets are as good then I think we will be pleased.
