Well, it was a good deal, anyway. Only $14.99 for this older Outback set that is really quite nice. I found it at Media Play (which just started carrying Lego, AFAIK). They also had 3 Mindstorms set, the RoboSports expansion set, and put up a (...) (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

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)
