(...) My suggestion was to use the newer-style space/town helmet with a clear visor. The old, non-visor, helmets are a more retro look, but they were *very* fragile. I think less than half of my old style helmets survived. The thin piece below the (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

From my little corner one of two things can make a legend: 1) The original 'model' was creative, imaginative and showed off what you can do with the parts included (Guraded Inn, Redbeard Runner) 2) The original set contained enough variety and (...)
