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)

Nice idea, but not for me. I'd prefer 70% bricks/ 30% plates and keep the rest. If I need greeblies (same as widgets I guess?) or slopes I'll buy the normal bulk packs.
