I have a really interesting question about those two parts in black:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=193
and
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=193a
Peeron and BrickLink say that the thin version comes from many sets like
6971-1 - Intergalactic Command Base (1984)
6891-1 - Gamma-V Laser Craft (1985)
6985-1 - Cosmic Fleet Voyager (1986)
6882-1 - Walking Astro Grappler (1985)
and some other..(http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/193a)
The thick version comes only from the
4010-1 - Police Rescue Boat (1987)
(http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/193b)
I suppose that the thik version should be more difficult to find (because it
comes just from one set), but BrickLink’s price guide says the opposite. The
thin version (the most common) is really expensive (about 2$) and the thik ones
rather cheap...
Besides this fact, I own both 6971 and 6985 (all original) and they don’t have
any black helmet with thin chinstrap!!! All have the thick one!
Now my question: is Peeron really right or, as I think, the “thin” and
the “thick” were exchanged???
Let me know if my opinion is right.
Thanks,
Luca

| (...) Luca, There is more information to consider than just the dates included on Peeron. First, the dates on Peeron are the introduction dates of the sets. Many of the Classsic Space sets were released for years. So you can find variations in the (...) (20 years ago, 9-May-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
