(...) They haven't thrown them away, per se, but worn-out molds are set in the concrete foundations of new Lego factories or other buildings--to prevent anyone from getting their hands on them. This was reported in the Smithsonian article in 1988. (...) (22 years ago, 18-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.

(...) 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?
