Wow. I feel a generation gap coming on. Only just now, part way into the
new millenium and half way through this thread, did I recognize the fact
that the old style helmet is no longer available! I have so many of them in
my collection, I never noticed they might be considered rare. Man, I feel
old...
<sad smirk> <...if there can be such a thing>
Anywho, I think I agree with John (although perhaps not so adamantly) that
a Classic Space Minifig looks better with the simpler helmet. In my
collection, the Classic Space guys (and gals) represent the civilian
colonists of Billundia, where the Futuron guys (with thick visors) are the
military and police. ...If they had to offer Classic Space sets with newer
helmets, I would be tempted to go one step further and say they'd be best if
they replaced the whole mini-fig with the Futuron one. I think a Tri-Star
Voyager would look cool with a Futuron pilot.
