lugnet.starwars removed. We've grown beyond them. (...) Launch Command is a dead sub-theme though. They made their last sets a while ago. Space Port is an entirely new subtheme that just APPEARS to be the same. Sarah Heacock (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Could it be that Launch Command is the latest of the die hard town sub-themes to be consumed by this deadly virus called Town Jr.??? This is becoming more of a wake every year. :o( Barry (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

Heya all ! My opinion is that this TN JR. thing is a big shit. I loved this old TOWN & SPACE models from 80's. They was great ! I only hope that it will be something new by my favorite serie - MODEL TEAM ! Bye ! Rene virsik@us.svf.stuba.sk (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
