That is a real picture. It was taken with my digital camera, and the

Well, since there is no gravity (ok, very little) there is no need for them.
Wings are used for lift, so the aircraft can get off the ground. But with no
gravity, there is no need for lift, so there is no need for wings. But I
will admit, lots of us space builders but wings on our ships cause they just
look cool. :-) It is a fantasy world anyways right?

Hmm, this is kinda a hard one. I consider it Classic Space and Futuron. that
is pretty much the lugnet standard. As far as the logo, I think it is the
general logo for LEGO Space, not a one for any cetain sub-theme. Varations
of it can be found in the Ice Planet and Alpha Team(allthough not really
space) themes.

Like someone allready mentioned, those links are not to more specific
newsgroups, but to all the sets from that particular theme. Exploreins is
there, but the link is missing. Why, I dunno...

All I can suggest is looking around in the Lugnet parts ref
(guide.lugnet.com) to find the name of the part. Then go to brickbay.com and
search for it. I bet youcan find some there.

There are similar parts that only have one stud and there is one Space
Police II space craft that has a single stud version of that rocket piece
and that piece resembles the cylindrical single stud brick but it has four
fins on the side of the brick. I have seen those pieces for sale but the
piece that I want is two bricks high and is also two studs wide by two studs
long and it also has the fins similar to the Space Police II set #1890.
(The pieces that I was mentioning are the thrusters on each side of the
space craft.) This set also has another number but I do not know what that
number is in my mind. I have been to BrickBay but no person in BrickBay,
odd as this may sound to you, has these parts for sale and even stranger
still is that the LDraw program does not contain these rocket pieces. The
Space logo is the word "Space" in computer letters and it has some planets
and stars in the background. The Ice Planet 2002 logo has ice on the top
half of the planet and the Alpha Team has a grid view of the world. I am
somewhat unsure of what your answer is to my third question, Kyle, but are
you saying that I am right in saying that Legoland Space and
Futuron/Futureworld are the same Lego set? I am simply wanting to know what
your answer was to my question because you said, "Hmm, this is kind of a
hard one. I consider it Classic Space and Futuron. That is pretty much the
Lugnet standard. As far as the logo, I think that it is the general logo
for Lego Space, not a (logo) for any certain sub-theme. Variations of it
can be found on the Ice Planet (2002) and Alpha Team (although [the latter
is] not really [considered a part of the Lego] Space) themes."

There are plenty on brickbay:
http://brickbay.com/search.asp?q=Brick%2C+Round+2+x+2+x+2+with+Fins+&p=Y&s=Y
The link might not work, so if it doesn't search for: "Brick, Round 2 x 2 x
2 with Fins "
THE space logo is the little planet with the 'ring' around it. The ice
planet log is the same thing, but with snow on the planet. The alpha team is
basically a grid veiw of the space logo. Classic space is all the space that
was not in any official sub theme. The sets from the years 1978 to about
1988). Futuron is the subtheme futuron and one of the first themes to
intrpoduce the modern helmet.

I have found a place where they sell that particular piece but I have to
purchase five dollars of merchandise or else they will not sell the pieces
to me. I just want the two pieces and they expect me to buy the store! Can
the visors of Futuron fit on the Legoland Space figures? I just want to
know if they can fit on those people, Kyle.

The visors that can be found in many sets from the Futuron days up till now
will only work on those helmets. They DO NOT fit on Classic Space helmets or
any other helmet that was pre-Futuron.

I know that they are releasing the Lego Legends series and perhaps they will
reintroduce the Legoland Space series and maybe we can ask the people at
Lego to produce a special visor for the Legoland Space figures because
without air, they would die and the visors keep in the air in the suits of
the figures.

Don't forget that the biggest problem isn't the lack of visors, it's the
ripping off of the head to get the airtanks on! :-)

Then it wouldn't be true to classic space now, would it?

What about the helmets? Would new-style helmets be acceptable?

The current space/race/town helmets have been in existence since Futuron and
only until the existence of Life on Mars or U.F.O. did they build the larger
visors. I am not sure which theme introduced the larger visors but even the
old Super Mario series has changed in each of the games on Game Boy Color
and Game Boy Advanced so why should we have the exact same space men?

Really??? <sarcasm> I've only been collecting these plastic pieces since I was
a wee one, I never realized that </sarcasm>

What the heck does Mario have to do with spacemen? And, if Classic Space sets
are re-released in the Legends series, they should be true to Classic Space.
Just as the current Guarded Inn is true to how they did Castle when that series
was in original production in the 1980s. Its a collector thing.

<nitpick>
Actually, the larger visors were introduced first with Launch Command in the
mid 1990s, Life on Mars is just reusing them. And I don't remember U.F.O.
even having visored minfigs..
</nitpick>

Ouch! They'd have a generally tough time of it without knees or elbows too,
and without shoulders that can move the arm in front of the body. I suppose
they can eat with appropriately long utensils but how do they dress or tie
their shoes? You'd have to use a bidday (no clue how to spell this) in the
bathroom too. How do have one of those in a weightless environment on a
spaceship?
