Doh. Forgot about that one. Now that is a good word too. Makes me think
of useful parts and cool box art.

That's a gorgeous set. I know I have something like that lurking in my
collection but I still can't pin point it.

You know this brings up another interesting topic. Just about all Basic
sets have been town oriented. It would have been interesting if we could
have gotten some Castle or Space themed Basic sets. True that there is the
565 Moon Landing..I consider that to be Basic-ish, but it's not really
sci-fi or fantasy.
Granted, the coolest aspect in my opinion of Basic is its themeless nature,
but this is negated, when you think about it, by how much of a Town theme so
much of Basic has had.
Maybe I should make some classic Space themed Basic MOCs. That would be
pretty cool actually. Kind of bulky with no figs. That sort of thing.
