(...) Hmm, skeptical. What exactly does it say? Even if Rock Raiders takes place on some other planet out in "space," it's not part of LEGO SYSTEM SPACE™. Rock Raiders is a theme within LEGO SYSTEM UNDERGROUND™. --Todd (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.space, lugnet.underground)

Oh, definitely! :) Although I'm not as pleased with RR as I'd like to be, I do find myself (a die-heard Space head since 1978) wanting to collect AZ and RR as well -- for their "space-like" futurism and beauty and cool elements for building (...)

LEGO system underground? I´ve never heard of that, only rock raiders. Aquazone is *not* space, but Rock Raiders are in my opinion. Hey, they have ships and helmets with visors!

(...) Actually, Star Wars belongs square in the middle of that thing known as Sci-Fi ("skiffy" I've heard it pronounced). It's "hard science fiction" that SW doesn't fit into.
