Dear Lego
Not only have you rendered my prized Moon Landing set obsolete, but you’ve introduced specialised parts too.

Hey, I had that as a kid...I marveled at the tons of blue slopes (“how dare you desert me, Lego? Bricks are rectangular, not sloped!”) And I also remember the front of the “moon buggy” had a printed brick with a car headlights and grille...

Man, that jogged my memory of the same thought. That was one of the first sets I ever owned and I too remember all the blue slopes. (I also seem to recall that the model wouldn’t stand up to too many “landings” before the legs broke apart). I also remember the first time I saw an inverted slope. It was pretty foreign to me - we called them upside-down triangles.
