Say...on that note...
A question for Space historians out there... Which Space sets *were* released
in 1978??? For sure, there are these 4:
1. <set:897> Launcher (a.k.a. <set:462> Rocket Launcher in the U.S.)
2. <set:918> Space Transport (non-U.S.)
3. <set:924> Transporter (a.k.a. <set:487> Space Cruiser in the U.S.)
4. <set:926> Command Centre (a.k.a. <set:493> Space Command Center in the U.S.)
But were there actually 6, or only 4?
<set:920> (a.k.a. <set:483> Alpha-1 Rocket Base) is currently listed in the DB
as being a 1979 set, but I could swear that JoshuaD or someone once found a
copy of 483 instructions or a box that was (c)197*8*... However, I could be
mistaken... I also seem to remember once seeing or hearing that someone had
a <set:885> which was (c) 1978.
