Just because they are in the 68** or 69** does not mean they have to be
space... Are there not Unitron sets in the 17** ???
I'm not contending what the box says... I'm saying in my opinion I've never
felt they belonged... just because Lego Say doesn't mean its right...
sort of like throwbots in technic... I feel they cheapin the line of amazing
technic kits but lego choose because of part types to call it technic...
doesn't mean it was right!!!
Flying saucers vs. flying bugs... I know which one sounds like space to me!!
by the way though:
Ninja is castle to me!!
may you always find the part you need and enough to fill the bill!!

| (...) *Bbzzztt* Logic error. You're arguing that "If A, then B" is an invalid (ie, false) statement (A = "Set is in the 68** or 69** range", B = "Set is a Space set").

| (...) Promotional or limited (US only, or not-world-wide at any rate) sets are often given numbers outside of their usual range. The unusual number of the Unitron sets makes sense from that perspective. It's true that set numbers are not inviolate. (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
