If they really want to knock all us Spaceheads on our butts, the first Space
Legend set will be the #6971 Message-Intercept Base from Blacktron I.  As
far as I can tell, all the pieces in this set are still being used.  If
we're going to have to wait until the end of the Star Wars license for a
Space Legend set, we should get a "holy grail."

contractual restriction, as has been rumored, but there are good
marketing reasons why it would not be a good idea to include space
sets at the same time as a major push for the new Star Wars sets.

I suspect we have to wait until Ep. III has come and gone before we
see any Space legends.

(...) I would have to agree on you with that. The Message-intercept base is my favorite set, as well as a Blacktron Classic. However, I would also like to see a 6985 Cosmic Fleet Voyager become a legend. The set has an interesting design and would (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

(...) I respectfully disagree with your thoughts for a first Space LEGENDS release. :) In my mind the best way to bring back an old series like this is to go right back to the beginning if at all possible.
