The best we can hope for is the creation of classic-looking sets for both Town and Space, emulating the look and feel of the bygone era while using (at least, mostly) elements currently available in the bins.

(...) What if they released an LL-932 super-gigantor Galaxy Explorer big-brother ship and gave printed instructions to build an exact replica of the original Galaxy Explorer and its two smaller counterparts as alternate models? --Todd (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
