Space legends, my thoughts...

Lets face some facts:
1.we cant get classic space helmets
and 2.TLC/LD isnt going to be dumb enough to do classic space with new figs
and/or new-type helments (it would look ugly, I tried to put some futuron
figs in my Walking Astro Grappeler and it looked crap :)

Here are a 5 that I think are:
1.possible to bring back as legends
2.sets that would sell well among those who grew up with Legoland space
(where everyone is always smiling, even the bad guys in the cages) and then
moved on to Lego System Space (I still think the 6973 is close to the
greatest space set of all time).
and 3.sets that arent hugely expensive (so the kids of today have a hope of
getting them).
The list:
6894 Invader
6932 Stardefender 200
6956 Stellar Recon Voyager
6981 Aerial Intruder
6957 Solar Snooper

Anyone got any comments or thoughts on the list or whatever?

I think that the decision by LD to offer up the Battrax (a wheeled
vechicle) for voting plus other moves recently continues to reinforce the
theory that TLC/LD dont want to offer anything that could be called a
spaceship other than starwars.

(...) Why is a re-mold for this one little part such a big deal, considering how many new parts are in every single Galidor set? I know molds are expensive, but if all it took was ONE LOUSY MOLD, is it really a melodrama to do so? (snip) >(I still (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Hmm....I would much prefer Set 6970 as a "Legends". But, the question does beg to be asked: Did Lego sign away their space ships in place of the Star Wars licensing? And if so, why? It's not like the Classic Lego ships even REMOTELY resemble (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.dear-lego)

Yep, here's my thoughts: I wouldn't get any of those space sets. Guess I'm just too old. I was lucky enough to be around 10 years old when the first space stuff was introduced. The only space classic I'd buy would be 928. I'd also buy it if they (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Classic Space is great in general, but there are exceptions. Nothing you could put in a Walking Astro Grappler would make it *not* look crap. That's probably the lamest set LEGO ever made, not counting the Time Twisters line I suppose. But I (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.dear-lego)

It would be great to see some of the old space sets brought back as legends. I know I'd buy them. I actually started on a small project last night, where I'm taking the 6781 SP Striker from the Space Police Set and updating it with some new parts (...)
