I was looking through the weatlh of knowledge in the lego.com press area
when something popped out at me yesterday. Today I went back to post about
it, but it's either gone, or so buried there was no chance I'd ever find it
again. But thantks to the good old cache, I uploaded it to show everyone:

(...) That is a great graphic, but don't think you ever had me. Humpf! Also, isn't the 100XX number series LD only? It would be regular lego making a new space series. (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

(...) Kyle, I hope you got the e-mail. You seriously need to remove that from your site. That's all I can really say now. Chris (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

Haha. Very good graphic, but no cigar. It's good to dream, though. ;) Happy April Fools! -JHK (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

The powers that be strike us down: Mr Keppler - I have been made aware of a post you made on LUGNET today regarding something you briefly saw on LEGO.com's press section. I must ask that you remove the image at once. XXXXX X. XXXXX LEGO Systems, (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

(...) Hey Kyle. I too saw that exact same image over at the press section of Lego.com, But instead of leaving and going back like you did, I saved the image right then and there. I hope this is real. T. Deering P.S. (URL) (22 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

OK, now that it is all over, and we know that this was an April Fool's joke, can someone please post the box art picture so that those of us who were busy can see what all the fuss was about? Thanks Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 BAYLUG (22 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

(...) Nice, you guys had me there, although I thought the name was a little dumb, I still know Lego makes dumb names for their sets a lot. I read these on April 2nd, so I didn't even think about April Fool's. (22 years ago, 12-Apr-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)
