Looks like the back half of the shuttle is a light-and-sound element. If the shuttle was any shorted, it would not have any cargo space. (see my message in the "Thoughts on 1999 sets" thread). (...) (26 years ago, 1-Nov-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.starwars)

lugnet.starwars removed. We've grown beyond them. (...) Launch Command is a dead sub-theme though. They made their last sets a while ago. Space Port is an entirely new subtheme that just APPEARS to be the same. Sarah Heacock (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I don't understand. I don't own any Launch Command sets, but I checked out the pictures on Pause, and they don't look much more impressive than the new Space Port sets, if at all. (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well since the UK Launch Command was called Space Port it could be called a continuation of it. This new Space Port has the same symbol as the old one, the space shuttle within a blue and red circle. Carbon 60 (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Launch Command was a minor sub-theme by number of sets, but has a loyal following as evidenced by the high auction/MSRP price. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Space Port is more Jr-esque (large specialized piece reference avoided). (...) (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
