 | | space legends and the SW licence —Jonathan Wilson
|
| | | We all know that the SW licence means no new space sets for a while but does it also cover rereleases? Do we know one way or the other from TLC/Lego Direct? If not, how would one go about asking Brad about this? (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

| | | | | | That's the jist of the rumor that has been going around for a while now. IIRC, the rumor was they are not going to release any space theme WITH SPACESHIPS while SW was around was the more specific version of it that has gone around.... This has been (...)

That leaves a potential loophole (if true) that could result in a re-release of sets like <set:6928> Uranium Search Vehicle, <set:6940> Alien Moon Stalker, <set:6951> Robot Command Center, or even <set:6972> Polaris-I Space Lab just to name a (...)

I also seem to recall that some of the alternate models in the LoM-series are flying space ships, (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
